Green gas in HFC134a gun?
Is it possible to use green gas instead of HFC134a in a GBB? I was planning on doing so with a Glock 23F. Is it safe? Or will it blow the slide off?

Stronger gas means more wear on the gun. All guns will eventually break, using a higher pressure gas like propane means that they'll break sooner. No, your slide won't blow off.

its not good on any gbb to use hipower gas, it wares the internals. Best if you get a metal slide for it. Some gbbs lasts longer on propane then others, its just a matter of time.
*edit* oop beat me to it the slide might crack, but never blow apart like bomb.

You will break your KSC Glock 23F if you run anything other than HFC134a, it will crack in the grip. The 23 cant handle green or propane. I have 3 broken 23F's, all broken inthe same spot.

RAS, that is AMAZING that the grip broke on your 3 G23Fs, considering they have the HW material made frames. Do you have pics of how they broke? I have 5 G19s and 1 G23F and use ET1600 Red Gas which is 50psi higher than propane at room temp, and have never had a frame break. Were you using an upgraded recoil spring?

black gas is CO2. Red gas is R22... the same propellent used in airbrushes I believe.

I wouldnt recommend useing propane in a plastic slide gun... Itll crack just like my KJW Glock 23. It wont crack right away, but usually after going though a bag of bbs.
By the way RAS can you post a pic of the 23 that cracked at the handle? Im just curiouse to what it looks like. |
