Oh, yeah, like Coachster said, you can always regulate the PSI of the CO2 to match the pressure of the Propane, however you won't get half the shots with CO2 that you would with propane for the simple reason that Propane puts liquid gas in your mag what is going to evaporate as you shoot to maintain a stable pressure, with CO2, there's no liquid phase, only gas, so the pressure will fall down with each & every shot. That's why CO2 guns are either single shot, or use a high pressure tank with a regulator for a constant supply of lower pressure gas.

In fact, the only advantage I would see to use CO2 in a propane gun would be to jack up the pressure to get extra FPS, even if that means fewer shots, and most likely a gun (most probably a mag) failure within a short time span.
