What gas and when...

[AirSniper]

Just asking about Green / Red / Black gas here. When do you swap over and what do you use?

 

I know it says on the cans 5 degrees celsius, today was warmer yet the pistols were emptying of gas after several shots. I asked the site and they quoted 5 celsius. Is this standard for sites to stick to that temperature advice?

If I am expending a full magazine that should last up to 3 reloads, gone in half a magazine, then would it be fair to say the call should be mine as I understand its not good for the magazine seals or pistol when that much gas has to run through the system to throw a BB out.

 

Opinion, wisdom, thoughts? All are welcome.

Totally depends on the gun . I only ever use green or black ,red is an expensive unnecessary middle ground.

While we’re here, would it be an overkill to run anything but green gas on TM pistols?

 

I keep hearing that they don’t tolerate more powerful gas well due to their plastic builds, but I want to verify before stowing my HK45 for the winter.

Depends on the model. But I run my tm hk45 on green most of the time. When it gets minus temp or close to I'll run black.
