[coburn]

Has anyone noticed an improvement in power and number of shots with a CO2 Pistol in this heatwave.

Of course this may only apply down south!!!!

CO2 pressure could be at 1030 lbs sq in at 30 deg C, whereas pressure in cartridge with average temperature of 19 deg is around 800 lb sq inch.

Hmmm

I agree with the previous post, I've just looked again at the article in the first Airgun Digest and you're figures are spot on. The difference in pressure between 71F and 86F is quite marked.

At Lea Valley last saturday (bloody hot) we had a few issues with 1911's, 3/4 were having problems - mine in particular I think was down to too high a pressure in the valve.
