Has anyone actually tried and tested this? I got an idea for a heated CO2 tube-housing for the cartridge-ampule. I tried it out on my CP2 carbine, here are the results:

With cheap Aliexpress handlebar heaters (10W) wrapped around the tube, one around the other, and running off of a 2.0 A output powerbank, with thermostat setting of 55 degrees (I doubt that it achieves nearly that much) and after a good 30 mins to let the heat soak into all parts of the barreled action I took out the co2 ampule and it was little bit warmer than my body temperature, so I guess 38-39 degrees C. I left it at the same setting for another 30 mins to be sure it doesn’t creep up more and I got sure that was in fact stable at that same temperature. I will test out how the gun performs when I figure out how to pack it all into a stock as neatly as I can! Any thoughts or ideas?

A 6-shot group I made during a short morning session with my CP2 in carbine form. It is paired with an original 1943 production soviet 3.5x PU scope and shot while resting on a microphone tripod.

Shot with JSB Exact 8.44 gr 4.52 mm pellets.

I’m very satisfied with the results! 😁

P.S

The bottom most hole is from earlier zeroing session, not a part of the group!
