Why? Because it'll give you less FPS, pretty much the same (or worse) consistency, you gotta change the caplet every 45 shots or so (meaning worse gas efficiency per full mag load - propane will give you about 70-80 shots). And honestly LOL, the mags freeze worse than propane in the winter.
WE's work decently in the cold on propane, like WE G39C Performance in The Cold and Snow - YouTube.

Yup, just recently learned about lubing gun v propane, but I only use it for my pistol so if the hop is off a bit it's not too worrysome.
I've heard the bit about 1.5mags/capsule, but at the same temp CO2 should have more pressure than propane so it should always yield more FPS and I've heard that CO2 handles the cold better. This is actually the first I've heard or it performing worse in cold (nothing against your statement, just is what I've seen)
I find that YouTube link awesome and intriguing. Some of my team has WE M4 may guns and they certainly don't do that on propane, I wonder if the G39 mag is just better suited. If I didn't detest the G39 so much I would be tempted to get that instead. I tried to find the same for an M4 magazine but the closest I came was a PDW that had been in a warm vehicle for an hour, and it still looked like it was having problems.
Either way I appreciate the contradiction to what I've found, always nice to be able to see it from multiple views
