WE Europe
NUPROL 2.0 & 3.0 Gas
- Reviewed by Yosser



With so much hype and publicity surrounding the new gases from WE Europe I thought it was time we take a look at the gases available and see what they are all about, so we went about a brief test of the Nuprol 2.0 (Green can) and the Nuprol 3.0 (Red can).

For the test we took a standard WE Pistol – a WE XDM and loaded it up with .20g BB’s for all the tests – firing each gas in turn through a chrono to measure FPS, refilling with the next gas and then allowing the magazine and pistol to reach ambient temperature before continuing with the test firing to try and give an even playing field in terms of operating temperatures to each gas in turn.

We kicked off the testing with the ‘standard’ gas, which I’m sure if you check the labelling you can probably tell what ‘standard’ we used in the test. It was a pretty standard (no pun intended) performance, as I would have expected from the product.

So moving onto the Nuprol 2.0 Green Canister. Using this did increase the velocity by approximately 10 FPS or so. In percentage terms approximately a 2 to 3% performance increase over the bench mark ‘standard’ we used. It did take a number of retries to get a consistent result from the 2.0 gas but I’d put this down to the magazines becoming extremely cold as well as the pistol frame. The condensation on the magazine and slide were noticeable as well as the extremely cold temperature of them.
