Your friend sounds like an idiot.

I just tried my propane adaptor out at the Swat House last weekend. The Mac 11, M-79, .45, and Glock 23 worked well with WallyWorld-bought Coleman Propane.

Everything chrono'd well and a few drops of R/C silicone oil (sparingly!) and your'e GTG.

I feel a lot safer with a STEEL propane tank rather than that flimsy jap stuff.

Not to mention the fact that it has a relief valve!

I had a can of Green Gas blow up in my car once simply from the summer heat.  Not cool.

Well, I used Propane in my Metal KJW M9 today with fantastic results.

It cycled crisply and had good range.  Same as Green Gas performance wise.  I paid 2 bucks and some change for the propane tank, which holds as much as a standard green gas can.

The nozzle is like 30 dollars, and pays for itself after 2 tanks worth.  Even at discounted prices, a can of green gas can cost as much as 10 dollars.  At 2 bucks per can, and with good results, I'm using propane from now on!  (Well, except when I need that little bit of extra power from Red Gas)

I only did it once. It still better than throwing green gas cans in a camp fire. :roll:

Then that rat bastard should change it back, because from what I've heard from dozens of former marines, "once you're a marine, you're always a marine". And I'm sure he's just messing around.  :roll:

ON subject-

I heard that the Propane burns the O-rings on the pistol mags. And, I KNOW it smells like crap. But, will it damage the gun? Maybe with the right propane it won't?
