    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

    Propane is commonly used in theme parks and in movie production as an inexpensive, high-energy fuel for explosions and other special effects. Propane is used as a propellant, relying on the expansion of the gas to fire the projectile. It does not ignite the gas. The use of a liquefied gas gives more shots per cylinder, compared to a compressed gas.
