Those CO 2 containers are for classics that use CO 2 to fire, red gas is not CO 2, it's a gas that's higher pressure than Green gas/top gas, but i've never heard it's acctual checmical make up. The top gas on the bottom is just top gas, the same thing as green gas under a different name. Usually there's absolutely no difference chemically. You probably aren't going to want to buy gas from over seas, it'll take a few weeks to ship. It can only be shipped via surface mail because it runs the risk of blowing up in less atmospheric pressure (i.e. really high up on a plane). I think the acctual risk is coming down from that pressure, but either way it can't be flown. Unless you can find a plane that'll fly 100 feet above the ground at all times...  |

actually, red gas is CO2 with silicone lubricant.

I thought CO2 was the supposed "black gas"?  That little screw on adaptor for the CO2 capsules is pretty nifty though, but you wouldn't want to use it in most guns. CO2 is much higher pressure than most airsoft guns can handle, which is why when it is used, regulators are needed to keep the CO2 at a pressure closer to the other airsoft gases. When injecting the CO2 right from the source into your mags, such as using that little adaptor, your gun will go BOOM pretty fast I would think.  |

i think black gas is just a higher pressured CO2. Red should be around 100...and i think that black is around 120-125

For future reference: The C02 used in paintball tanks is around 850 psi when it comes out the bottle, but the little powerlets are around 90.  |
