Can hydrogen gas be used in the Seneca Dragon Claw Gen 1 without the need of any modifications to the rifle?

Why on earth would you want to use a flammable gas to propel a pellet?
I'm no expert but I would say absolutely not, modified or not.

You might mean helium .
But helium is easier to leak and I wouldn't try using it unless it was designed for it

I’m going to provide a serious answer incase this pops up on someone’s Google search in the future. There’s 2 conventional gases and 1 novelty that are used to fill airguns-
- Compressed atmospheric air is overwhelming used, as it is mostly nitrogen.
- Compressed ‘pure’ nitrogen is also sometimes used.
The novelty gas is helium, due to its’s properties it can result in increased power but is also likely to leak and you would need a PCP that was explicitly stated by the manufacturer to be compatible with helium otherwise I would consider it unsafe.
Hydrogen and Oxygen or any mix of those gases is extremely dangerous and could result in an explosion that causes maiming or death. They should be avoided at all costs!

I think Nitrogen is not as sensitive to the temp differences, especially for colder weather. But I would stick with compressed air. Happy shooting.
