They are compressed CO2, not air. They will get cold upon rapid firing the gun or any other discharge such as a leak. So check to be sure there are no leaks. When loading a cartridge, a dab of spit on the tip will ensure a tight seal to the weapons gasket and keep the gasket from ripping as you tighten the cartridge carriage. With a flashlight, take a look to see if that gasket has already been damaged causing a leak. Also check with the manufacturer to see if a dab of lubricant is allowed instead of saliva. I use a light film of cooking oil so that if I'm in the field and need to, I can lick the end of the cartridge without tasting machine oil. Also some rubber seals can't handle machine oils, again, check with the manufacturer.
