Finnish Recon on the Best & Worst Guns for Sub-Zero Temps (ft. Jari Laine of Varusteleka)
Jari Laine of Varusteleka discusses firearm performance in sub-zero temperatures, emphasizing maintenance over brand. Overgassed systems like the Finnish RK and piston ARs (HK416) excel due to their ability to cycle through ice and moisture. While AR-15s offer ergonomics, AKs' open systems are more prone to snow ingress. Striker-fired pistols are vulnerable if moisture freezes in the striker channel, leading to light strikes.
