Wrong. Duster will not cycle the HFC metal slide because it is too heavy, propane is the only option.
Sure am glad I stated it wasn't first hand knowledge
Thanks for the info, Amgoosen.
Sorry, (I think it’s) wrong again.
It’ll cycle it, just not quickly, and only lobs the shot. One of the reviews found on the gun was using 134a as a tester- which worked, yet the reviewer stated that ‘it was obviously meant for Green’.
Great gun, though- I’ve only used it on Green through mine so far, and it works like a charm.

Correct me if I’m wrong, sorry if that was misleading. Simply stating what I found.
Are you sure the reviewer wasnt using the ABS version? The metal version will use too much duster to fire the bb and not have enough left to fully cycle the slide. Propane really is the only option for the metal version.
Nah, it was metal. The guy also mentioned that it 'certainly wasn't pot metal'. However, I suppose you may be right- I'll pick up a can of duster sometime and check it out, I suppose.
