Because that's the manufacturers specification. The item is designed to operate on a specific fuel. Propane is NOT Green gas. It does almost identical decompression properties. But it is not the same. KWA airsoft guns are designed to run on green gas, and the warranty does not cover power sourced that item was not designed for. Makes perfect sense to me, but that's probably because I'm not an entitled slacker who thinks everyone owes him something.

Manuals are there for a reason. Mistreat your belongings, and the manufatcurer shouldn't have to replace them. Warranties are for defects, not bratty children with entitlement issues.

Since I'm figuring you don't know how to work a GBB I made a tutorial for you.

Warning. This is NSFW and not for people offended by me droppin the f bomb once or twice. ;)

Edit: Just realized I look like I have downs syndrome. Well oh well. That's what I get for takin a vid right after waking up :(

I'm not sure which to laugh at--your sarcasm in the video or you in the video.

Yes. Wait until I actually see you on an airsoft field. Ask Switchback how he felt about being called out to ID himself at the team briefing.

It's a growing experience, really. I'm teaching you that life is not nice, but sarcastic and generally a pain in the a$$, but if you prove yourself, you'll make a name for yourself. Yes, that sentence wasn't proper grammar. Sue me. The big question is, though, will the name you make be a good one or a bad one?

You know? Right there, you just earned my respect. I hope I can do the same for you.

AND NOW WUR FRENDS!

Anyways, after meeting a lot of the nice adults on this forum, I am a lot more inclined to listen more and troll less. Both good things.
Oh, it was awkward, btw.

I thought 134a was green gas, meaning those are approved gases.

KWA wrote:(4) Use of the product outside the U.S.A. (5) Damaged batteries or improper use of bullets (BBs), or non approved propellants (ie. Propane, Red Gas, 134a…etc.)


I always thought 134a was a lighter load than green gas. Going through the stickies, 134a has a little over half of the pressure of green gas. Maybe due to damage to the valves due to lower pressure?

So, if I use 134a to refill my A/C in my car, the warranty will cover it, as long as i don't TELL them it's 134a?

I humbly recall my statement, thats a fair and sound reasoning Jester.
