My Take:
TM's are generally used in conjunction with duster for longevity. But everyone says that it can handle green just fine.
But i wouldn't recommend it with a stock slide.
Would recommend upgrading some of the internals and upgrading the slide to a metal one to handle the higher pressure gas like GG.
My friend's TM 5.1 had a stock plastic slide and was using green gas. After a game or two, the slide broke. But you know, his might be one in the few that may be defective or something

The gun is designed to run on 134a, so a stronger gas without mods will break the slide sooner or later. There is a simple and cheap mod to use green gas or propane on TM hi-capa without problems. There is no need to change/upgrade the stock ABS slide.
The mod is to glue a small plastic part (10-15mm) in the blowback housing so the gas valve knocker disconnetor is engaged sooner: this will reduce the force of recoil enough so the slide won't break. It's easier done than said...
