CO2 mag for GBB Pistol help

[Chris Ford]

If i have two identical mags that fit the same gun if one was CO2 and one Green Gas.

I am asking if I had a gun that uses green gas mags

can i use a Co2 mag of the same size as they are just different types of Compressed Gases

Any light to be shined on this will be good.

Far as i know Co2 runs in cold weather so i could just use the CO2 mag when its colder

My KJ Works Hi Capa came with a gas mag AND a CO2 mag in the box so i reckon you are on to a winner! (i have since bought 2 more CO2 mags and all work perfectly)

Re: CO2 mag for GBB Pistol help

Firstly;

1. There is nothing magical about CO₂; it is a compressed gas like any other.
2. CO₂'s vapour pressure is higher than propane's, which means that the gun operates with higher pressures.
3. CO₂'s boiling point is lower than propane's, so it is less affected by cooldown and cold weather.

Therefore, in principle CO₂ can be used in airsoft guns that would otherwise use other gases. However, the higher operating pressures of CO₂ mean that only guns that are sufficiently reinforced should use it. In general, if CO₂ magazines are available from the manufacturer, the gun can handle CO₂.

In your case, KJW's Hi-Capas are designed CO₂, which is why KJW sells CO₂ magazines. If your gun is a KJW, then you should be fine, though bear in mind that KJWs' CO₂ magazines aren't supposed to last very long.

A kjw hi-capa co2 mag will only work in a Kjw hi-capa AFAIK ,might go in a co2 capable WE. If its a tm I've had mixed responses in them mostly bad, one worked .
