GBB on natural gas!?

Anyone here ever heard of a GBB running on natural gas!? A friend of mine found a guy selling a Western Arms Beretta (with a metal slide) but he said it was running on Natural gas!? i thought that sounded a little fishy, but maybe I'm wrong. comments?

Is he just using the broader term for propane?

Does my fart count as natural gas?
It's wet & damp just like green gas so no need for silicone oil.

Natural gas is primarily methane which has a much higher liquification pressure than propane. 300ish PSI I think compared to propane's 120psi.

Meaning it's possible!? Where would he get it? Is his term "natural gas" another term for any of our more common gases like Duster or Propane?

From the smell of my friend's Beretta Tactical Master, the previous owner ran it on Axe deodorant spray. I've since taught him to clean and care for it.

LOL it makes a nice puff. Man if I had a GBB that didn't work I'd use it as an AXE spray gun! LOL Nothing like shooting your arm pits in the morning

Sorry, I was wrong. Liquified natural gas (LNG) exerts a whopping 870psi which is in the same neighborhood as liquid CO2. At that pressure, crappy cast metal mags probably become pipe bombs.

Natural gas is not a generic term like duster gas. It pretty much always refers to a gas that is primarily methane.

Propane smells like shit too. But yes, a scent is also added to natural gas that smells like rotten eggs.

Both propane and natural gas have very little odour. The rotten egg / geriatric fart scent is added for safety so that we can smell it when there's a leak.

Bingo. Usually methyl or ethyl mercaptan.

additionnal....natural gas by nature has no smell at all, the gas company "in BC we have Terasen Gas", they adds a smell to the gas in order to tell if there is a leak or not, we use natural gas all day in the dental lab and our fireplace uses that sort of gas...the truth is that i rather use propane in the lab if needed because we have more control of the tanks's pressure and have better heat....in terms of pressure I cannot tell you however what I can tell you is the...

BTU/CU Foot --- GAS
275 --- Hydrogen plus Oxygen
1000 --- Natural Gas plus Oxygen
1448 --- Acetylene plus Oxygen
2385 --- Propane plus Oxygen
2700 --- Butane plus Oxygen
