According to the internet and my friends red gas jade near the same pressure on a gun under 35 fairenheight.

Is this true would it work and be safe to use in the cold winter?
If not at what degree does green gas become a big no no? I'm thinking below freezing I know it's affected around 40.

Red gas is alot more pressured from what Iv'e heard. Some say it's even dangerous 0.0
Green gas is a big no no for all sniper rifles. It can change over 40 PSI from the first shot to the last. Thats saying only like a 15 degree F different between first and last
According to wikipedia, red gas is HCFC-22, and it seems to be illegal in some places(US).

The pressure of red gas(HCFC-22) is about 132 PSI.
Propane, which is the main ingredient in green gas, is about 124 PSI(Green gas is a bit weaker then propane, as it's a mixture).
And propane has been known to be too much for some guns.

You made me look something up, and I learned something new... Shame on you!

Edit: It might be alright, if the weather is very cold.
But the consequence, of leaving it in the gun in room temperature, is a unknowen factor, as it depends on your gun being able to handle the pressure.
Well I run my HPA rig at 105 Psi and I'm getting 405 +/- 3 with .36's. So I see no reason to use red gas or propane. Green gas should be about what I'm using. Also Mona, aren't you getting an HPA or C02 rig?
Clearly you guys need to consult Brother Maynard and the Book of Armaments....

@BuMS
I greatly thank you for that info on red gas!
