You can use Propane in most guns rated for 134a, Green Gas, or other AS brand 'Low-pressure' gas. Although some pistols and such might require some small modifications, beacuse Propane has a slightly higher OP.

e.g. on some pistols, 134a AS gas might run it at about 220 or 230, then with propane it might go to about 260 - 280. Not a huge difference, but some cheap plastic pistols might break after awhile of use(UHC). While some may have a drastic fps dif. like 210 to 386(check the Tanaka M629, lol).

(note:after maybe 2-3 months a cheap UHC pistol might crack)

here you'll find a few tests of different gasses, and information on each's performance, and many other interesting AS Gas tidbits.

You can get a cheap $20 adapter from Airsoft Innovations, and use it on regular $3.00 propane BBQ tanks.

Hope this helps.
