What type of gas should i use?

[kriegar]

I recently bought a TM 24 shot Colt Python revolver, the store i bought it at recommended predator green gas due to it being a Tm and apparently they are designed to use gas that "powerful" (if i remember what the guy said correctly). On said gas it kicks out around 160fps where it's advertised at around 240fps.

 

Could it use more powerful gas?

if it's kicking out 160fps on abbey 144a there's something wrong with it, should be 240-260.

Crap cheers, time to head back to Wolf Armouries then lol.

Wolfarmouries?

 

Ohohohohohohoohohohohohohohohhohohohohoho. They have very mixed reviews, about half and half. Some say they have brilliant service and products, some say the products come faulty and that they lack quite a lot of social skills.

Well I couldnt fault the shopping experience in store, friendly chatty staff who were very happy to help

Couple of updates, it seems that i was incorrect on my opening statement the gas in question is predator 144a gas which i understand is something different to green gas? I phoned Wolf Armouries and basically got the run around with the guy on the phone saying without knowing the temperature of the days when the pistol was chrono'ed he couldn't say anything even though i told him the second skirmish day was noticeably warmer than the first and the gun consistently chrono'ed at around 160fps on both days.

abbey 144a is not green gas no, however, you should still be getting more than 200fps with it, even when it's freezing cold!

 

my advice is to take it down to the store and have them chrono it there, will be irrefutable evidence that you're not just doing it wrong.

Yeah that's what i'm planning to do, just a pain in the ass when the easiest shop for me to get to is Wolf, 2 hours and a train and a tube away, it's my own fault for not driving though lol.
