Hop up

Post by TokenTech89 » Fri Nov 25, 2011 1:14 pm

i have looked all over the web, but haven't found much about the hop up angles, all that has been said is the difference between hard and soft bucking, not the nub the helps the bucking. can anyone help me determine the difference in angle in correlation to the hopup itself?

Many may have the same question about this topic.

What do you mean by "angle"?

i see different angles on the nubs and bucking, what does the angle mean, and how does it effect the accuracy and range of the bb.

i see 90, 80, 60, and other angles on the bucking

Those are not angles, they are the density of the type of synthetic rubber used. The lower the number, the softer it is. So, higher numbers are harder, and therefore made for higher FPS.
