I was going to suggest trying salt with an anticaking additive but the Coles iodised salts already seem to have it.
Haven’t seen the guns in person… Is the salt reservoir large enough to accommodate a tiny silica packet like the kind found in vitamin bottles? And would it interfere with firing?
You could mix in a small amount of bicarb to try and help keep it dry and free flowing /shrug
Edit: Found this. 3:53 onwards talks about humidity and salt clogs but it doesn’t address your particular problem https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NsFzz5kjFpU
I'm trying bicarb first. The salt 'magazine' is too small for silica gel packet.
Seagoons one is pretty good, maybe a single coffee bean or a few grains of rice
