LightningCh Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 3 minutes ago, Sako said: Probably the main issue with HPA I think is the cost, even a basic starter ‘kit’ (gun, cylinder & line) is going to set you back £500, which can often be difficult to justify when well performing AEG’s can be had for around half as much... ...though the fun is also half as much!! Oh yeah, that's exactly why I didn't buy one first lol, Spent £500 and got 3 AEGS and a GBB pistol, only thing is 2 of the AEGs are preowned guns... Compared to £500 for a HPA and then maybe not enjoying the tank and line? Wasn't worth that risk as I had never even see HPA in use til my last game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 In regards to gas... green gas is just propane with some added silicone oil for the most part. Abbey has their own, non silicone based lubricant in there’s. I personally use propane and lubricate the gun manually. Cheaper and less crap gets in your hop rubber. For sub zero temperatures I use MAPP gas in the yellow bottle. It’s proper name is polypropylene. It’s a higher pressure than green gas, and importantly a lower boiling point. That means in terms of gas efficiency it is much better. There are two cons.... I wouldn’t use it in a plastic slide pistol unless i was trying to mag dump a TM g18c in the North Pole. And finally.. it absolutely stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I say about a sling, just let it hang on a single point and you still are unaware of there being a tank and line. there are several tank sizes should you want to stay lighter, but a standard 48ci tank is really very compact as is.

My mistake, it wasn't meant to be aimed at the "lot of kit" lol. Should have trimmed the quote. And yeah, I mean I could afford it within the next couple months, but want to get use out of the rest first lol, also need to move out... Sometimes I sit here wondering why I started airsoft when I knew I wanted to move out asap lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
