powelly Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 hey all. just ordering my Kwa M11 and wondering if it will be ok to use green in it now seems as the weather has dropped in temperature recently.I dont want it blowing up anytime sooon because of using green so without guidance should i stick to 134a for a little while longer? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Aod Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 depends on the temperature at the time of use i'd say. i guess (a guess, mind you) that at under around 18C, using green would be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Sh0ty Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm fairly sure green is fine at any temp, assuming you don't F/A. (it's an M11, so I'm assuming you will) In which case, you could get a magnesuimi bolt, and just use green. And at this time of year I'm guessing it's fine (I'm not sure how far north england is compared to MI, but I'm assuming it's pretty close) -Sh0ty Link to post Share on other sites
Woodco Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 When it gets cold, you are best to put it in a box for next spring Link to post Share on other sites
MadChinaMan Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 So GBB dont work when it gets colder? Sorry I'm a noob. And this is the first time I've had a GBB during this kind weather. Link to post Share on other sites
Tuulos Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 They will work. Around 0 celcius it's time to put them to hibernate. Of course, Co2 and oxygen are different matters entirely. Link to post Share on other sites

Dentonboy Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I haven't been able to get mine blowing back all year outside, regardless of gas used. I have only ever seen it work properly inside.... Link to post Share on other sites

joker, the frickin ninja Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 afaik they are all plastic All KWA Guns come with a metal slide/bolt/whatever. KSC have plastic slides and bolts. So if you ordered a KWA it should already have metal, right? Link to post Share on other sites

soadrocker856 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 You'll be fine with green gas. But in hot weather, green gas is a negatory. Here is why: What is green gas? Propane and silicon. What happens when it gets hot? The gas moves very rapidly and escapes (so blame propane, not a leaky mag) To combat that, what you need to do is wipe the tanks down so more of the sun is reflected, cooling off the tank to a decent level, and less gas escapes. I learnt that on King of the Hill (woohoo!), and it's true... I can't tell you much about green gas in cold. I live in Phoenix, AZ. I don't think it's ever gone below 9C in the past 5 years. It's only snowed here once, 8 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
