Butane is in what "powerful gas" section? Because it is in the same category of CO2 and Red gas, I have used butane in my guns, it isn't all that great.

But, "the same category" according to whom? What authority has designated butane as similar to CO2? Is it just a pressure thing or what?

Kiki in my chem class we are working on thermodynamics not college level in depth, but just enough to get a basic understanding of what it is. The only reason I pulled it up was because someone mentioned it in this topic. I'm gonna try butane in my gas gun now. If it doesn't work well I'll get proof and post it up.

The only way you could successfully use Thermodynamics here to answer that question at hand would be to set up a phase diagram, and interpolate for target values of Liquid, Two Phase, and Gaseous phases from the charts in the appendix of your favorite thermo book at a given pressure, or the other way around. Basically what I was getting at is you can't just throw the butane in there are say lets blow some shit up. You've got to think it through, study it, and then try it before you waste your time. I doubt many people on this forum have the equipment or patience (or drive) to set up an experiment to test the thermodynamic nature of the gas to the cool down rate, etc. Anyways, this is really a moot point anyways, probably wasn't worth typing that up.

Hold on there, I just said I'll put it in my gun and try it against propane and duster. Like a video of it getting chrono'd. And if it cools up much more than propane frost might develop of the gun. I'm not doing the scientific method like you want me to.
Miles sorry we jacked your thread.

It's finished. I have nothing else to say, just kidding,

" Q: What is the relationship between KSC and KWA? A: KWA is one of the OEM manufacture for KSC. KSC and KWA are two separate, independently operated companies. Q: What are the differences between KSC and KWA products? A: While KWA manufactures for KSC and shares the same design, some of the products sold under the KWA brand may be configured differently to suit different worldwide markets. However, all products manufactured by KWA, regardless of brand, are produced with the same high standards and quality controls that KWA and KSC are known for. Q: Why not every model in KSC line up is available under the KWA brand? A: Not all KSC products are manufactured by KWA. KWA only markets/sells products it manufacture. "Taken from - www.kwausa.com/cs_faqs.html#8I'm hoping this is somewhat relevant to the KWA + KSC debate on this thread earlier. However, that wasn't the point of my post, this guide is going to be slightly biased, because there are a lot of personal opinions in it. There are also more models than listed here, but I guess that might be the point of it being a thread in a forum, so people can add to it, and have the guide be a culmination of our collected knowledge. This article might help with the Butane + Propane debate as well. www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-propane-and-butane.htm

Can KSC confirm this? Even if they can't, this is the first definitive piece of evidence suggesting a relationship between KSC and KWA.

It's really tough to find, because KSC's website is in Japanese. So I couldn't get a confirmation from them until it is translated. My apologies. That was quoted from KWA's FAQ page on KWA's website, however, so I considered it to be more legitimate than things said on forums.

Updated. Grammar has been revised, New sections added. Still somewhat a WIP, but for the most part, it is done.
Perhaps I'll add some photos down the road.
