Airsoft?
Just out of curiosity, I wonder if any of my readers play around with Airsoft guns.
(Of course, any subset of 0 is still 0, isn't it?)
Quite some time ago, a friend gave me a replica of a Mauser Broomhandle (My online namesake) that was powered by "Green Gas" which I have since learned is unscented propane with silicon oil in it. The price, on the other hand is absurd. Those 1 lb camping cylinders are about a fifth the price or less. And even better, I have an adapter that lets me refill the small cylinders from my large BBQ tank. So, 4 gallons or 16 lbs of barbeque propane is about the same cost as a liter of the unscented stuff.
The trick is getting it into the gun. there are a number of adapters for that purpose available, and I just got a rather good one from Amazon.
(One reason I wanted cheaper gas is the magazine on the gun leaks, and thus the fancy gas goes to waste all the time.)

I have managed to find out who the original manufacturer is, and found a source of additional magazines (at around $32 a pop).
Someday I will find a decent REAL Mauser for my collection. Alas, this state makes it illegal to own the already cost-prohibitive full auto version. But then, what's the point of a gun that renders itself empty in a fraction of a second.
