We talk a lot about getting the right gas into your GBBs and GBBRs to get the absolute best performance from them, and one of our “go-to’s” are the NUPROL family of gases; NUPROL have put an awful lot of effort over the past few years into not only getting under the skin of what makes a good gas, but also into sharing that information freely so that newer players (and some old campaigners!) can truly understand what they need and why.
And now they’ve introduced another member of their gas-family, NUPROL 2.ZERO, a silicone-free evolution of their flagship 2.0 gas!
They told us;
“Designed for players who want precise control over their replica’s lubrication and performance, 2.ZERO delivers the same trusted power with a cleaner, more advanced formulation.
NUPROL 2.0 and 2.ZERO now give players two clear options: effortless all-round performance, or full control for advanced tuning.
Over the last decade, modern gas-blowback platforms have changed dramatically. Players are no longer simply buying a pistol or rifle and running it as-is. They are tuning hop units to match their ammunition, pairing tight barrels with upgraded valves, and building highly efficient setups designed for consistent performance in all conditions. Airsoft has evolved – and with it, so has the demand for more refined, more controllable propellants.
NUPROL Gas has been at the centre of that evolution since the brand’s earliest days. It is no secret that “NUPROL” itself comes from New Propellant, the flagship line that established the company as a leader in airsoft consumables. The original gas range was engineered to give players dependable, clean cycling and predictable power across every skirmish environment.
Why Silicone-Free Matters
For many years, silicone-infused green gas has been the standard solution for keeping GBB seals lubricated. It is convenient, simple, and effective. Every time you pull the trigger, a thin mist of silicone coats internal components, helping to prevent drying, cracking or shrinking.
However, silicone-infused gas also comes with limitations:
- It can slowly migrate into hop rubbers
- It can attract dust and residue
- It can create buildup in precision barrels
- It reduces the player’s control over where lubrication ends up
The more refined your replica becomes, the more these side effects matter. Players who run matched-hop builds, upgraded valves, precision barrels or custom platforms increasingly want one thing… cleaner internals!
This is where silicone-free gas becomes a major advantage. By removing silicone from the propellant, NUPROL 2.ZERO eliminates the oil mist that normally spreads throughout a replica. Instead, players apply silicone exactly where they want it, using targeted maintenance with NUPROL Silicone Spray.
The result is a replica that stays cleaner, behaves more consistently, and responds more predictably to tuning.”
This all sounds mighty fine to us, and gives all of us yet another option in relation to how we run our gassers… we’d suggest you get to your local NUPROL stockist and give 2.ZERO a try!
