Dear Matt,

How is your yellow can of mapp gas? I hear you are very fond of it. Is it a bright can or a sort of off yellow can. I wonder if it is a big can or not, I would presume it to be in between; not big like a scuba tank but not small like a soda bulb either. Please reply because I think everyone is really interested to hear about your yellow can of mapp gas.

Yours sincerely,
Jolly Roger

Wtf, that's funny.

anyway,mapp gas has been used,and as far as I know,It is not terribly more powerful than propane. but with oxygen, it is more powerful.

Mapp gas is slightly more powerful than propane, but i doubt you would notice it unless your measuring the muzzle velocity. Burnt Latke tested both propane and mapp gas and here are the results:

Propylene is a really good one. They use it in welding applications. It has a higher max flame temp then propane, slightly less than MAPP gas but it has a higher heat distribution than both which means more pressure and bigger bang. It is a type of LPG so being in liquid form bottles can hold alot more than propane or MAPP gas - more shots.

most people shoot their spudguns in a row,i dont do one shot and put it back in the closet,you just need to air it out for 1min if you dont have a fan or 10sec if you do.
