Figured I would create a thread where folks could mention what they use for a truck gun in the colder areas of the country - for sure reliability. Dawned on me as it was nearing 20 below zero, with wind chills of over -30.
For winter I keep a PPS43 pistol, with dry lube. Cheap enough I don't care if it rusts/mars finish - half the cost of an AK pistol, yet is reliable as it was proven on the Eastern Front in WWII in severe artic combat. 35 rounds of 7.62x25mm FMJ at times chronoing 1800fps from it's 10" barrel is enough to penetrate vehicles, heavy winter clothing, etc anything really needed if said need arises, which of course we hope it doesn't. Functioned well with ice, snow and debris in the magazine/rounds after testing.
Do you use anything specific for colder weather as a vehicle weapon?
