Introducing NUPROL 2.ZERO – The Silicone-Free Evolution of NUPROLs Gas System
Introduction: A New Evolution in Airsoft Gas
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.
But as the sport grew more technical, players began asking a new question:
How Do We Get More Control Over The Lubrication Inside Our Replicas?
That question has now been fully answered with the launch of NUPROL 2.ZERO — a silicone-free green gas designed to give players total control over internal lubrication, residue management and long-term replica tuning.
This is not just “2.0 without oil.”
This is the next step in precision airsoft engineering.
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:
A Cleaner Internal Environment.
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.
Engineered Expansion – The Hidden Advantage of 2.ZERO
Removing silicone from the blend presents an engineering challenge: how do you maintain stable pressure, reliable cycling and consistent FPS without the lubrication normally delivered by the gas?
The answer lies in the same additive science used throughout the modern NUPROL Gas Range.
NUPROL 2.ZERO includes a micro-dose trace additive expansion system, an engineered component that improves gas expansion inside the magazine and stabilises pressure during rapid fire. This helps tuned replicas maintain:
• A consistent power curve
• Strong cold-weather behaviour
• Reliable valve responsiveness
• Predictable hop performance
In short:2.ZERO behaves like a fully engineered performance gas, not a stripped-back variant.
Its silicone-free construction is a deliberate upgrade — a precision-focused evolution designed for players who want maximum control over every part of their replica’s performance.
Perfect for Tuned and Precision Builds
Modern airsoft platforms are far more capable than they were even a few years ago. With upgrades now widely accessible, players are building replicas designed to perform at the edge of what the GBB system can deliver.
These high-performance builds benefit enormously from silicone-free gas:
1. Cleaner Hop Units
No oil mist reaching the hop rubber means a more predictable backspin, less contamination and longer-lasting rubbers.
2. Consistent Barrel Behaviour
Precision barrels stay cleaner for longer, supporting consistent accuracy and tight groupings.
3. Controlled Seal Care
Rather than a blanket spray of silicone from the gas, players apply lubrication to seals manually — exactly where it is needed.
4. Better Cycling During Tuning
When adjusting valves, springs, nozzles or slide mass, clean-running gas eliminates variables and makes tuning easier.
5. Reduced Residue for Technicians
Players doing regular strip-downs will immediately notice the difference: cleaner nozzles, cleaner hop units and cleaner feed lips.
For these reasons, NUPROL 2.ZERO is not a “replacement for 2.0.”
It is a precision tool — engineered for the modern GBB user.
How 2.ZERO Fits Into the NUPROL Gas Line-Up
The launch of 2.ZERO marks a major milestone in the NUPROL Gas Range, sitting directly alongside the long-established pressure family:
• NUPROL 1.0 – Low pressure for lightweight replicas
• NUPROL 2.0 – Balanced, all-weather performer
• NUPROL 3.0 – High pressure for full-metal pistols and rifles
• NUPROL 4.0 – Ultra-high pressure for heavy GBB platforms
2.ZERO shares the same pressure profile as 2.0, providing familiar, reliable cycling — but with full silicone-free cleanliness and total lubrication control.
This allows players to choose between:
2.0 for convenience
or
2.ZERO for precision
And for many advanced players, technicians, competitive shooters and hobbyists who tune their replicas carefully, that choice makes all the difference.
A Gas Designed for the Future of Airsoft
As airsoft continues to evolve, so do the expectations of the community. New platforms are being released each year with tighter tolerances, better materials and greater upgrade paths. The gap between casual skirmishers and performance-focused players has widened, and the industry now demands consumables that support both ends of the spectrum.
NUPROL 2.ZERO reflects that shift.
It gives beginners a clean-running, reliable option that prevents long-term oil buildup.
It gives technicians a perfectly controlled internal environment for tuning.
It gives competitive players a gas that behaves consistently under pressure.
And it gives airsoft enthusiasts a chance to experience the next step in performance gas engineering.
This is more than a variant.
It is a foundation for the next generation of precision GBB performance.
Conclusion: A New Standard for Modern Airsoft Gas
From the moment NUPROL Gas first arrived on skirmish fields, players recognised its reliability and consistency. It quickly became the backbone of the NUPROL brand and a key part of airsoft loadouts across Europe.
Now, with the launch of NUPROL 2.ZERO, the range steps into a new era — one defined by cleaner operation, better tuning control and engineered pressure stability.
Whether you are maintaining a stock GBB pistol or building a fully customised sidearm that reflects countless hours of tuning, 2.ZERO gives you a refined platform to build from. Precise. Clean. Stable. Designed for the modern airsoft player.
The future of airsoft gas is here.
And it starts with 2.ZERO.
