Silicon Oil

Hey guys, i am looking into buying my first green gas gun. I would not, however, be using green gas, i would be using propane. I was wondering if silicon oil is necessary and what it does. I have always used co2, so i don't know what to expect.

With propane, silicon is suggested because it lubes up internal parts and helps maintain a seal.
Good idea going with propane...much cheaper...

I get green gas for 5$ per can

Yeah use 100% silicon to keep i lubed up, try to stay away from CO2 as some fields don't allow it. Propane is your best bet, nice and cheap. Just be sure to keep it lubed up.

1. Buy your propane
2. Buy a Version 2 propane adapter (click here)
3. Put the silicon oil into the port on the adapter
4. Load up yer' mag and charge it with gas

EDIT: Swap step 1 and step 2

@drummer I have heard bad things about metal propane adapters, from leaking propane to stripping threads to becoming clogged and the shooting off. whats the deal?

Also, the gun i would be getting the the KWA M93R NS2 with the stock...just fyi there

Almost everyone with a gas gun in my group of airsoft buddies uses one. They don't seem to have any of those problems, but I don't know 100%. You could always just buy the ones that are made of yellow plastic and lube your gun manually.

I prefer the KJW propane adapter. It's made of yellow plastic. Haven't had a problem yet! Also, just gonna let you in on a little tip. Buy a can of green gas and use that once every fifth refill or so. Another thing you could do is do what I do. I lube the gun when I clean it (which is a lot) so I never have to put lube in the mag.

P Force makes some "Watch your language" good silicon oil, too

I heard the green gas every few refills tip before and was kinda skeptical, but i think ill give it a try!
