Wehrmacht54 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I just ordered this gun and I've Looked everywhere. Most places seem to say the WA Beretta M84f runs on 134a, but ive always heard Western Arms pistols run just fine on Green gas. But thats been with the 45 lineup, and not the berettas that ive heard of. I hate buying 134a, green gas is always more convienient, is it ok to run Green through that pistol? Im always very careful with my guns, and really am gonna use it for target practice and as a back-up. Id be surprised if I put 1000 rounds through it in the next 6-8 months.

Id be surprised if I put 1000 rounds through it in the next 6-8 months. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Green gas is definitely not ok for an m84f. The problem with this gun and most of the WA beretta line up is that they have a tendency to dislodge the magazine top seal when fed high pressure gas. The m84 is also part of an older design with an extremely lightweight and not too durable slide. If it's only going to see limited use, what's the big deal in buying one or 2 cans of 134a for it?

W.K.Shuridys Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 http://www.airsoft-innovations.com manufactures flow restrictors for WA guns that permit the use of green/propane. Cheap too. Link to post Share on other sites

Wehrmacht54 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 They seem to have replacement rubber for the mags here.... http://www.airsoft-innovations.com/index.p...bcat=5&id=WA-15 Would that solve the problem? Link to post Share on other sites
sibobbler Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 It would do if they fitted - I asked as I own a WA Cougar and Carl from Airsoft Innovations said via email that the rubber seals don't fit the Cougar / 84 mags. I don't know if the spring kit is compatible. As to the mag rubber, they're not compatible. --Carl Link to post Share on other sites
Wehrmacht54 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Aww darn... oh well, I got the gun today. What an a sweet gun!!! Did anyone ever make a metal slide and frame for it? Link to post Share on other sites
SgtBojangles Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 It really isn't smart to run Green gas on any WA guns. They run just fine on 134A anyways, so just keep it simple. Link to post Share on other sites
Holmes Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hey, if you go to www.airsoftatlanta.com, they sell a green gas conversion kit for WA pistols, go check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I ordered one from Redwolf yesterday, I plan on using nothing other than 134a until maybe it gets converted with the above mentioned kit, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I can do that myself so it's average all the way I reckon. Having read Snowman's excellent review I'm totally happy to run it on normal gas, as he said, it's such a nice gun it realkly doesn'y matter Looking forward to it....
