Airsoft Gas & Cartridges
If you own a gas gun - you'll need to power it up with some form of gas!
Most commonly this will be green gas. However, depending on the gun you own - you may also use propane, red gas, duster gas or CO2 cartridges.
Airsoft Green Gas
Dubbed as 'Green Gas' the mixture which creates
144a gas is used primarily as a source of power for
gas powered airsoft pistols, gas rifles and gas sniper rifles that fire
6mm airsoft BBs.
Airsoft guns also need gas for maintenance.
All new guns spend time in shipping and storage. This can lead to seals drying out and not giving a satisfactory gas-tight seal. This causes reduced performance and in extreme cases, the gun will not cycle at all.
Maintenance gas lubricates your parts and keeps your seals in good order as well as maintaining your gun with
airsoft maintenence products
CO2 bulbs are another source of power that is becoming more and more popular with manufacturers as an easy aftermarket option with
airsoft pistols and rifles. Primarily used in
airsoft revolvers,
CO2 bulbs can withstand colder weather conditions and perform more reliably than gas in certain cases, but when the temperature warms up, the power drastically increases making it too hot most of the time.
CO2 chargers are used to convert CO2 bulbs and allow them to be filled into
gas magazines as normal.
We only recommend this for non-blowback pistols (like the
MK23 pistol or Ruger
MK1 pistol) and
moscarts
