Further, all this lubrication does is stop the mag seals from drying and leaking.. you won't suffer any catastrophic malfunction or premature wear of parts. If you keep your rifle well lubed thru regular maintenance it's basically a non-issue.
That being said, there is a significant difference between propane (or green gas, remember they're the same) and duster gas or HFC 134a. Duster is 'weaker' than propane and will cause less wear to your gun, although if you attempt to use it on a gun designed for green gas the gun may not function correctly.
Hope that clears up any misconceptions anyone still had.

Thanks a lot for your enlightenment.
Anyway, I have been using green gas since the 90's and it seems it does not cause any trouble. So I will keep using it.
Cheers.
