Airsoft Gas

Why Choose the Right Airsoft Gas?

🔫 Optimised Power for Every Gun Type

• Green gas for standard GBB pistols & rifles.
• Red gas & black gas for high-power or cold-weather performance.
• CO₂ cartridges for consistent output in compatible mags.

🔫 Improved Accuracy & Shot-to-Shot Consistency

• High-quality propellants reduce cooldown & pressure drop.
• Ideal for semi-auto and full-auto gas blowback platforms.

🔫 Safe, Clean & Lubricated Formulas

• Most green gas blends include silicone lubricant to maintain seals.
• Keeps your internal components clean and operating smoothly.

🔫 Suitable for a Range of Airsoft Weapons

• GBB pistols, rifles, SMGs, shotguns & grenades.
• Also compatible with gas-powered shells and launchers.

Types of Airsoft Gas

🔥 Green Gas (The Most Common Propellant)

• Great for most GBB pistols & mid-power rifles.
• Usually includes silicone oil for internal lubrication.

🔥 Red Gas (High-Pressure for Cold Weather & Metal Slides)

• Higher PSI than green gas for harder recoil & better cold performance.
• Best for full-metal guns or outdoor winter games.

🔥 Black Gas (Extreme Pressure for Heavy Recoil Builds)

• Very high power output—ideal for full-metal rifles and hardened parts.
• Use with caution & only in compatible guns.

🔥 CO₂ Capsules (12g Powerlets for Pistols & Rifles)

• Stable output in all temperatures.
• Best for CO₂-specific mags & sidearms.

🔥 Maintenance Gas (Low-Power with Extra Lubrication)

• Used for storing or maintaining seals.
• Not suitable for skirmishing—ideal for keeping mags in top condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Airsoft Gas

1. What’s the difference between green gas and CO₂?

• Green gas is a propane-based gas stored in cans with lubricant.
• CO₂ is stored in 12g cartridges, offering more power and cold resistance.

2. Can I use red or black gas in any airsoft gun?

Not always—high-pressure gas can damage plastic slides or non-reinforced internals. Check your gun’s specs first.

3. Does green gas go bad over time?

If stored properly in a cool, dry place, green gas lasts years without performance loss.

4. How many mags can I fill with one can of green gas?

On average, a 300–400ml can can fill around 30–50 magazines, depending on mag size.

5. Is it safe to leave gas in my magazine?

Yes—a small amount helps keep seals pressurised. For long-term storage, use maintenance gas.

6. Can I use propane instead of green gas?

While possible, raw propane requires an adapter and added silicone oil, and is not recommended for beginners.

7. What’s the best gas for winter airsoft games?

Red gas or CO₂ perform best in cold weather, maintaining pressure and reliability.

8. Do gas types affect FPS?

Yes—higher pressure gas results in higher FPS, so choose appropriately based on field limits.

9. Is maintenance gas necessary?

It’s not essential, but great for preserving seals and valves during storage or between games.

10. Can I mix different gases in the same mag?

No—always empty the mag completely before switching gas types to prevent pressure inconsistencies.
