used a handful of times 5 years ago and was stored in a canadian garage since. came back to it and discovered at the combustion chamber near the cap there are a few tiny cracks, either from shooting or cold weather, still safe to use?

No, it's not safe to use. The tiny cracks in the combustion chamber, especially near the cap, are a serious risk. Over time, plastic can degrade due to temperature fluctuations and exposure to fuel residues, making it weaker and more prone to failure. A compromised chamber could rupture under pressure, leading to dangerous shrapnel or an explosion.

I think you should not use it because many parts are broken
