Fyi, 'red gas' isn't the correct term - it's just more pressurised green gas and in fact the original brands like Guarder always provided it in a black can. 'Red gas' is actually what airsofters of old used to use to refer to some high-pressure refrigerants. Few are used today.Been using my scar l gbbr on red gas the last few days, just works better all round, even put the red gas in the WE XDM compact as that gun hates the cold weather, that fired OK too.. Red gas in one of my custom built hi-capas worked great, to be honest that always works great anyway but as I was testing the red gas in others I thought it would be rude not to try red gas in my limcat custom, worked really well I think I'll only be running it on red gas in the winter from now on, lol well until I get my hands on some guarder power up black gas, I think my limcat custom built hi-capa is about the only gun I'm willing to use with the guarder power up gas..
So yeah good old gas guns couldn't live without them. Lol
I can understand why - given the red can for Nuprol. Probably makes more sense that it's switching over at this point, but not all 'red gasses' come in red cans (just like not all green gasses do I suppose). In fact I've always used Guarder Power Up just like you as it's cheaper than Nuprol 4.0 (if you know where to look) and just as compressed. It was even called 'black gas' up until about 5 years ago.
One can get results from a GBBR in the winter in the UK, but they're never going to be a consistent as HPA. If you want repeatable accuracy then an HPA tap or an HPA gun is simply a must these days. Any change in muzzle velocity is going to require hop re-tuning.
