GBBP enquiry

Hey guys, I just recently purchased a WE Hi-capa 5.1 (Government Model) GBBP and was wondering if it possible to purchase a CO2 powered magazine for it, AND if it will operate without any problems.

I am aware of the pressure difference between CO2 and Green Gas so I am just curious as to whether any internal damage could occur.

Please share your knowledge.

Thanks.

Yup. CO2 can break a gun if it's not designed for it though. However some of the WE 5.1's are sold with a CO2 mag.

Kind of a mixed answer here, Any other input?

I have answered my own question it seems.

As noted below in that link it says that 5.1 Hi-capa will work with CO2 or Greengas.

Propane is quite adequate for the WE Hi-Capa and yields a decent mix of efficiency vs wear and tear. What kind of performance goal are you looking to reach?

I meant that WE's can take CO2, but any gun will break faster using CO2 since it's harder on any gun.
