Abstract
Apparatus for cooling the barrel of a gun having a receiver configured to receive a magazine, has a housing dimensionally similar to a magazine for insertion into the receiver and contains a fan including a fan motor and shroud with an air inlet and outlet. An electric power source and circuit connector/disconnector operate the fan motor to establish an air flow path through the air inlet and outlet, with the outlet being positioned so that the air flow path passes through the gun barrel.
