How does a green gas blowback airsoft rifle work?

Where does the gas go? How do you put the gas in? And what exactly is a gas operated magazine? I'm planning on buying my own green gas blow-back rifle that has a gas magazine but I don't really know how this type of rifle works because I'm used to CO2 sub machine guns and pistols. Thank you for your help.

1. Green gas (propane and a lubricant typically graphite) canisters are usually housed in the handle of whatever rifle you are planing on using. Some varieties house the gas in the clip. You fill it with a green gas bottle just like a butane lighter.

4. Depending upon the gun the gas should go in the magazine. Sometimes the gas will fill in the bolt. It should be very similar to the CO2, you just wont need to have the cartridge in the whole time.
