  1. Could be, but typically humans last better than machines in the cold.

  2. The biggest concern would be extended use in the cold and snow over a campaign or even overnight. If you have a somewhat warm day (or just from a hot gun, I suppose) and you get any moisture in a mechanism. Come nightfall it will be frozen if you didn't dry it in a warm place or disassemble it and wipe it down. If you are using it constantly you might be ok (depending on how much the temperature drops). But overtime you may find that your magazine won't have full capacity. Spring snapping. Bolt jamming. Stuck triggers... who knows. Cold makes for short work of any inadequately built devices. ...Like a certain power grid, lmao.
