mickyboy Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Hi guys, another quick question, it's about what gas is best for my ASG RUGER MK I as I'm shooting it indoors, cheers again mick.
heroshark Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Any gas will be fine just buy whatever you can get for the best price. mickyboy 1
Enid_Puceflange Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Just don’t buy maintenance gas It’s sopping with silicon oil I found that out the hard way ? heroshark 1

To elaborate nbb guns will run on any green or lower power gasses designed for the more delicate pistols. Higher pressure gas/winter gas will probably work too if you wanted but in the warm may cause light striking with some models. This is when the pressure is too high for the hammer to open the valve.

mickyboy Posted January 23, 2022 Author Posted January 23, 2022 Thanks for your input buddy, like I say I'm new to this game it all helps cheers heroshark 1
EDcase Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) All Airsoft gas is Propane based but has been processed to remove most of the smell and has Silicone oil mixed with it. Going by power the list goes like this: 144a.........For NBB and TM plastic slide pistols. Green.......Most common general use gas Red...........Higher power for Winter use Black........Highest power for very cold Winter use Pure Propane can be used with an adaptor and is between Green and Red in pressure. It has no lubricant and stinks. Co2 is MUCH higher pressure than any bottled gas at around 800-900psi. (Green gas is around 300psi) Pistol must be designed to use Co2 for parts to be strong enough.

hitmanNo2 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 I don't think 144a is propane based as it is very similar in power to 134a which is a non flammable Tetrafluoroethane. Again, 144a from my understanding only exists in the airsoft world and is a creation by Abbey to replace 134a and is named purely for the similarity to 134a not down to which carbons the the fluorine atoms are on like 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane.

Is 144 what people refer to as “duster gas”?
