Propane works well in cooler weather, we played and the M700 was used all day on Nov. 16th, temp went to a high of +10C that day, and the M700 worked just fine (mags kept in pockets) and no one hit complained at all. I used my M24/MP5 all day, let a friend use the M700 (he played on the other team, so we were his targets).

Checking your figures out more now and comparing them to my experiences with the M700, using propane 0.36g BBs fly out to about 150ft (45m) then drop right off. Not enough hop up available to make them fly farther. 0.43g wouldn't go much farther. 0.30 and .29 SGM are ideal for the M700 (sure 0.28g are fine as well, I just haven't used them), but 0.20 and 0.25g are too light to effectively use.
Oh man 43Celcius...that's freaking hot, You'll get "barbequed" under the sun.
CDN_Stalker did you leave the settings as they were or you played around with them a bit to reach higher fps for 0.36g BBs?
Never used Duster, only Propane and Green Gas..that was on my pistol(Dark Hawk).
What's the name of the duster you used?
