What Gas?

Hey guys

I have a WE glock 17, what gas should I be using for it? I am currently using predator ultra gas

Re: What Gas?

Ultra isn't ideal for a metal gun, Green Gas or Propane is the 'standard' for a metal GBB. You could use Guarder black/power up gas for extra power (I use it in all my metal guns), but for normal use Green/Propane is fine and will give a bit more punch than Abbey.

Thanks for the reply.

Is the WE nuprol 2.0 gas any good?
Or what about the WE green gas?

Re: What Gas?

WE nuprol gives me very marginal gains over abbey (below 10fps) I get about 295-300fps on my stock HK45 in ambient 14-15C, but it seems to do a lot better in summer weather. It also has a metal nozzle, so some pistol magazines didn't like filling with it.

Re: What Gas?

What gas would you recommend then?

Re: What Gas?

Nuprol is fine, just a little bit more expensive per bottle, abbey is also fine. You won't realistically notice much difference between any brand when playing. 2% of total power will not make a noticeable difference.

Re: What Gas?

Ok, thanks for the reply. What about propane?

Re: What Gas?

Is the same as green gas/nuprol 2.0, only a bit cheaper.

If you can refill propane bottles from a calor cylinder then you are laughing, it's what I do at the moment. 6kg of propane costs me 25 quid, 400g of "airsoft green gas" costs 10.
