With my extremely limited knowledge I'm guessing getting the mix ratio perfectly right is probably not easy from a "regular Joe" usability point of view either.
Side note..
Has anyone thought about somehow keeping the gas warm until the moment right before use?
A player could maybe carry around a large LiPo somewhere on their rig that powered a Peltier heater, or maybe a set of them, wrapped around mags. Peltier-based heaters can be very very compact. You could imagine lining a bunch of mag pouches with them. You would need to ensure good thermal conductivity to your mags as well as insulating your rig reasonably well (if playing in much worse cold for example).
If something like that could work, then the mag would only begin to really experience significant cooldown during actual shooting and/or while inserted into the magwell.
Perhaps someone could make a sort of Mag pull style accessory for the winter, i.e. "Mag Booties", where you wrap the mag in some kind of thermally-insulating jacket. Combine this with a Peltier plate, and Propene, and just maybe it would be enough for a game.
Over in AEG land, I've been looking into insulating my AEG's full stock during winter time, or maybe even wrapping the entire stock in something like Thinsulate or some kind of Fleece, to keep it toasty during games when the temperature sags well below zero. With the MOSFET sharing the same space as the battery and getting quite warm during lively semi-auto fire, there's a chance I could get a decent stable temperature in there. I would love to stuff an Arduino unit or something in there during testing and actually gather some data.
