Gas idea

[shortman]

Said it before will say it agian. Use nuprol low temp green gas in the cold. Works great! From anything above 5-7° and if its colder than that then personaly id rather be at home in the warm.

Anything above Nuprol '2.0 is extremely overpriced though. That 4.0 is what £20 a can? That's more than Guarder Powerful and that stuff is most certainly harder kicking that Nuprol.

Yea the nuprol 3.0 is 17.99 a can. But works between 3-10° which is pretty efficiant. Thing is if you run a gas gun they are genrally more expensive to run/maintain. If you want to run a gas gun in the winter then is defo going to be more expenisve to make work well. Sooooo buy expesive low temp gas or buy an aeg lol love my aeg wouldnt swap it for any gbbr on the market + all the tea in china! My gas pistol i love and in the cold works fine as the nuprol 3.0 gas last bloody for ever in pistol mags

I've really not seen anything to prove it performs any better than say Guarder Powerful at those temperatures. I tried to run my M4 at the start of this year and it was pretty horrible - it has a fully steel bolt and it's the WA system so it's not the most innovative thing ever, but I can say that the Powerful gas did perform better than the 3.0 (don't think their 4.0 stuff was available at the time). I mean Smart Gas sells itself as being a 'low temperature gas' on the can, but it's sure as hell not close to Nuprol 3.0 or Guarder Powerful in terms of power.

The bit about it working between 3-10 degrees isn't backed up by anything but the claim on their can and Facebook page. As far as I can tell the Guarder Powerful stuff is just that - more powerful and the larger cans are compressed even more. Although this probably isn't that case for you, it does disappoint me that Nuprol's very basic advertising pitch has been eaten up so readily by so many people. We've seen their BBs are naff yet people still buy them, and I don't think their regular gas has ever been any better than, say, Abbey Ultra.

Yea there green gas im not a fan of but the low temp stuff was good when playing in the cold bunkers of ucap. I have to agree though it would apear nuprol products genrally arnt up to scratch really.

Curious by the last couple of statements when I first started I had Abbey gas and it struggled in my pistol. Went to nuprol 2 and the pistol issue was solved immediately and I use the nuprol 3 in my vector at Epsom which is underground and cold and that works flawlessly interested to try this guarder stuff now as the nuprol red is about 17 quid for 2 litres and with 7 vector mags it goes quickly haha

Is this the stuff you mean ?

Yep - it's insane. Don't use in stock TM pistols.
