I know during warm temperatures you should never use green gas in a grease gun but I heard in Winter when its really cold you could use the green gas safely. Anyone got any info on this?

I had a chart a long time ago which had the temperature vs gas type.
If you normally use 134a you can use Green gas between 32-50 degrees safely.
Below freezing 32 and under when it gets real cold you can use Red gas.
Way below freezing (zero and under) switch to CO2. You'll need to buy the CO2 tank and the CO2 fill adapter for airsoft guns/mags.
Note: Red Gas is borderline CO2.
A perfect world upgrade would be run HPA Scuba system. The gun would no longer be effected by the cold.

I used green gas in mine in the 100 F plus summer and never had any problems. This goes against anything I've ever been told.

I've owned 2 Hudson Grease guns-
Used Green gas in both when it was hot, shredded both bolts, sent them to Schmitty for conversion to AEGs
The moral of the story, don't use green gas in the Hudson Grease gun when its warm outside.

I also had two Hudson Grease guns. I always used 134 with the usual gas blow back inconsistencies and irritations. (When they work they're very cool!) Lots of hassles and screwing around to make sure everything is as it should be. Failures generally occure when you really need it to work. (Demonstrating to a large group or in a skirmish) I finally got bored with one and decided to use Green gas. (Didn't have any 134 on hand) The outside temperature was around 80 degrees. The gun worked for about 20 rounds and ate it's young. I sold the other one while it was still intact and sold the broken one as a shell for looks or conversion to an AEG.
Loved the guns when they were working. They hopped around in your hand like a Puerto Rican shortstop and made a very intimidating sound when firing. They were horribly inaccurate and very inconsistent but still one of the funnest airsoft guns to shoot.
I miss them...sort of. Definitely a love/hate deal. I miss my 1979 Fiat 2000 spider too but I wouldn't ever buy another!

The gun would actually be 'bullet proof' if they only made the main part of the bolt, the part that you stick your finger in to pull back and charge the weapon- if they made that part out of aluminum we would all be talking about how the Grease Gun is our favorite gun. Well that and the ABS gun shell itself.  So ok, if those two parts of the gun were actually metal......  |
