Full Version: Propane Upgrade for TM GBB pistol

Hi all,
What is the process for upgrading a pistol (a TM MEU 1911 in my case) for use with propane? I came across this while looking for a guide and it suggests that an upgrade might not be needed, but I am not sure. Can anyone point me to a good guide or weigh in on if an upgrade is needed?

Thanks

I've been using my stock TM Detonics for over a year with green gas and havent had any issues. From what I understand the only real issue you may have is the slide starting to crack after a while. Just use it until you have issues.
Wraith,
thanks for the info.

Can anyone help me get some propane? Anyone on base have access?
Hey Goon,
Thanks for the warnings about potential hazards.
I guess the real reason is to try and combat the colder weather. Are there other ways of doing this with 134a when playing outdoors?
There was a guy out recently using propane in his pistol and he was getting about 91 m/s and had an amazing range. I imagine it wasn't only becaue of the propane, but it sure seemed to help.

Any thoughts on how to improve winter performance would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
