I don't see why that would void the warrenty, when H&K does ice tests with all of their firearms.


Which kind of ice, though?

To my knowledge, dry ice isn't really ice. It's Carbon Dioxide in a solid state.
It's A LOT colder.

Looks like too much ice/water on it.
Dry ice doesn't go from solid-liquid-gas like normal ice, it just goes solid-gas.

But I could be wrong, I dun really understand german...

But none the less, I'm sure that a warrantee and a test are two completely different things.

You are correct about the solid-gas thing, but I still don't see how dry Ice would hurt it unless you fired it while it was in that condition.

Also, how would the manufacturer know whether or no you have use reloads, dry ice, etc..?

The parts would become brittle, contract, and then rapidly expand again.

Inspection of cracks, wear, etc.
Possession of reloading materials in the home, possible reciepts, etc.

When you try to get somethnig fixed under a warrenty the company doesn't send out a team of investigators...

Ah, chemistry it's awesome.

That's actually a pretty sweet looking gun, but no, I was making a shitty chemistry joke.

Okay, maybe not to your house, but I'm sure they inspect it at the factory.

And I dunno about HK, but my step-dad was asked if he used reloads when he sent in a gun to get fixed.

That's my point, all they do is survey. There is no way to tell for sure whether or not you voided the warrenty.

I never said they surveyed. I said they might inspect it at the factory.

I'm sure there's a way to test it.
Especially with a manufacturing giant such as HK.

Either way, If you have used reloads and somthing breaks (not a kB!) and you say that you used regular ammo, there is no way for them to tell.

Any minor fractures or dammages done by Dry Ice could also be the result of the gun going from cold-hot repeatedly. no?

By all means, yes.
There's an ever so slight difference from going from -109 F to gunshot temp, and 32 F and gunshot temp.
I can only assume the dry ice at -109 or below would crack more.
