Whoa there grant my boy. That type of language will not be tolerated on this forum. You may disagree, but no flaming in that tone.

I might add that goes for you too Rob.

Anyway. The output pressure of propane is 250psi or less. You will not get most markers to even cycle at that pressure - so its a moot point to begin with.

I have been a firefighter Paramedic for years, and let me tell you that propane is not a fun gas to be playing with. Lets look at a scenario just for fun shall we.

You are playing "attack and defend" at your local pb arena/field. You are one of the defenders. You are playing in a mock up of a house in a single room. You are using propane. 1) you are becoming frustrated as your marker is shooting only like 5 feet if at all, and; 2) You are filling the room you are in with propane gas. Now, you may not know this, but propane is a heavier then air gas. That means, it will stay in the lower spaces and in enlcosed spaces until something else displaces it. Now in the case of your sitting in an enclosed room, lets just say that you have put 2" of propane gas along the floor. There is no where for it to go. Your game gets over and you whip out a smoke to relax. BOOM -- Not a cool thing.

I know my example is silly to the extreme, but so is using propane for a marker. Airsoft may do that for their guns, but I am not sure thats the greatest idea either.
