Airsoft Green Gas is Now Hazardous?

We were recently notified by our suppliers that until further notice they will no longer carry or ship green gas. Well, suffice to say we were a bit stunned. We inquired as to WHY, as green gas is somewhat a central item in the airsoft industry. The response was that the US Department of Transportation has marked it as a hazardous item and are restricting the shippig of this item.

We thought this to be a bit strange, I mean I have never even heard of someone accidentally blowing themselves up, let alone using a can of green gas as a bomb. So we turned to 2 other suppliers, and while they did not tell us the same story, they suddenly were out of stock on gas.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . the plot thickens.

So naturally we turned to the authority on all things: Google! Unfortunatley this search has proven less than fruitful in oursearch into the Airsoft Green Gas question. I tried the DOT website, but Government websites are meant to be horribly frustrating and useless.

Until we hear something different, we would like to suggest a nice Airsoft AEG? We have some nice stuff and you can shoot until we can ship you green gas again.

So, has anyone else heard this? If you have any information on this please forward it on here. Our stash of gas is running low.
