I would have thought the lens would have to be much hotter, but I guess that propellant can come out very cold.

Yeah, with the can upside down, the liquid comes out instead of just gas. Pretty much like dry ice.
We use the stuff a lot at work (IT) for when computers come in from the field. Even upright, you can get bursts of the 'liquid' which converts to gas pretty quickly.

Yep.
You can break open cheap metal locks (bike locks, padlocks, etc.) using a can of compressed air and a hammer. Turn the can upside down, douse the lock with the freezing liquid, then quickly hit it with the hammer. The brittle frozen metal shatters/snaps off.

The propellant is often a refrigerant, and when they go from high pressure to low pressure they get really cold...

What's amazing is that if you watch the whole video, the shooter continued with the match and shot quite well, in spite of the disaster.
Yeah, that’s some rough luck, but good on the shooter for persevering and shooting a great match even with a shattered lens.
I can’t see where I’d need this information for my own purposes, but it seems like an important thing to know and tuck away nonetheless. Thanks, Tony.

That's cool he finished.
Yeah physics, gotta suck the fun out of everything. The glass got hit with a blast of about -100F as the liquid turned to gas.
It's how AC systems work, drop the pressure and it drops the temp when it evaporates. Blow air over the evaporating freon inside the evaporator and out comes cold air.
I saw a valve break on a 3,000 Gal LPG tank. By the time it got shut off the entire back end was a solid block of ice.

I wish they got a view through it in that video, I'm curious how much it actually distorted the view.
I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

I’ll bet those auto glass guys could fix that right up.
