After running my TM P226 with duster for a year, I finally switched to propane today. I can tell you that I'll be forgetting everything about duster really quick because propane is soo much better. When using duster, I would warm up the mag holding it in my hand for better performance. With propane, blowback is obviously much stronger and the BB's can penetrate a pop can easily. I'd be scared to warm the mag up and risk breaking the gun. I have to check what kind of velocity I'm getting now. With a warm mag of duster I could get approximately 240 fps.
I'm running the gun stock...keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't break too soon. I guess it doesn't really matter since I plan on doing a full metal upgrade eventually.
I bought AI's latest propane adaptor (version 5). It's a well made molded plastic piece and really simple to use. No assembly required and comes with instructions how to use it and how to check if the propane bottles are ok before purchasing using the supplied gauging tool. Thumbs up to AI on a well made product.
The only bad thing I can say about propane so far is the smell. Gives me a headache.
