Hey all,
Just wanted everyone to know that if you have a greengas gun, PROPANE IS THE WAY TO GO. Go an adapter for $33 shipping and all, ran probably 40 mags through two different guns, haven't used an entire green propane bottle yet.
Chronoed the same velocities as green gas(until Mihel blew the face off the chrony with his Tm Desert Eagle).
I would recomment the propane adapter if you use green gas.

They add "the smell of rotten eggs" to propane for the purposes of being able to detect what is otherwise odorless and colorless. Why they don't say "sulfur", I don't know.

Because you can smell a few parts per million but it would take several thousand to tens of thousands parts per million before you could see it as a vapor in the air and by then you would be dead or the area to the point of igniting with the slightest spark.
Yea, the sulpher dioxide we made in high school chemestry (lo those many years ago) cleared the entire high school wing more than once. Stuff really stinks and in VERY low concentrations. I have heard that the stuff in natural gas and some of that in propaine or butaine is made of a chemical taken from onions that is detectable in concentrations of less than 10 parts per million.

Thank you Dave. I went to the wiki-goodness, and looked up the chemical. Here's what I found: from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EthanethiolEthanethiol is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH2SH. It consists of an ethyl group, CH3CH2, abbreviated Et, attached to a thiol group, SH, and the entire molecule is often abbreviated EtSH. Ethanethiol has strongly disagreeable odour that humans can detect in minute concentrations. The threshold for human detection is as low as one part in 2.8 billion parts of air. Its odour resembles that of leeks. Ethanethiol is intentionally added to butane and propane (see: LPG) to impart an easily noticed smell to these odourless fuels, that otherwise pose the threat of asphyxiation. According to the 2000 edition of the Guinness Book Of World Records, ethanethiol is the "smelliest substance" in existence. Other more specialized chemicals were probably not examined, however. Most volatile thiols are comparably offensive. Thiols can be destroyed, and thus de-odourized, using bleach or related oxidants. |
