Mite, read the green gas cans "CFC free" tells you there are no chlorofluorocarbons

I believe I specified both fluorocarbons (FC) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) in my reply... please read more carefully.
Chlorofluorocarbons have Chlorine, Fluorine, and Carbon Fluorocarbons which are actually usually called Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) have Fluorine, Carbon, and Hydrogen. HFC22 (R22) which is mentioned in the Gas Primer is a HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbon), it has chlorine (and fluorine, carbon, and hydrogen) but is less reactive compared with CFC's so it is on slow ban (ban isn't complete until 2020)
CFC's generally get into the upper atmosphere where the chlorine gets broken out of the molecule and starts chowing down on Ozone, FC's don't act like that (no Chlorine).
Chem class over,
Mite

Chem class over, Mite Do we really need this education? I have nothing else to say I dunno what gas I use but as long as it works it can eat a hole in the ozone....we dont need it anyways -cp

I have nothing else to say I dunno what gas I use but as long as it works it can eat a hole in the ozone....we dont need it anyways -cp Some of us enjoy knowing what's going on with the various stuff we use in our sport. Obviously you're not one of them...but that doesn't mean you need to make a post denigrating the intelligent, informative discussion the rest of us were having.

Getting back to the water pouch, I agree with destrukto...If you decide to get a hydration pouch, go for something that is gonna last you a little while. I personally just use plastic water bottles...they don't clang like canteens, sloshing is very quiet, and they are re-useable...plus they're clear, so you can see if you've got some crap in the water or not. Just keep some extras back at your base and carry 1 on you. And you can buy a s* load in a half-box for dirt cheap (i think it's like 50 a box or some crazy number like that). Get two boxes, bring em' to the game, let I'm too lazy to spell a full word out. Please mock me. team have some, and you just may be a hero!

regarding hydration options, you can try purchasing a nalgene bottle, which is relatively cheap at $8 (I got mine for $4 when a store went out of business)

Green gas is most definitely NOT propane... Please read: miairsoft.proboards2.com/index.cgi?board=gas&action=display&n=1&thread=405The link is the Gas Primer. Propane = C3H8 Green Gas = CH2FCF3CH3 As you can see... NOT THE SAME Want to know the difference? Propane is FLAMMABLE, Green Gas is NOT. The fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons used as propellent in gas pistols are generally used as refrigerant compounds and inert (non reactive, non-flammable) dusting sprays. (What you thought those gases didn't have a purpose outside airsoft?) I would not want to charge something I was carrying on my person with a flammable gas. Every time you fire a round you are mixing fuel and air very near you. All it would take is a spark to set that mixure off. Mite I have nothing else to say well some of the same numbers and letters are in the green gas as butane I have nothing else to say.

Sorry to revive a dead thread but would paintball goggles be able to stop a .22 bullet? Are they good enough for airsoft?

Paintball goggles work just fine.
