Hop-Up units and buckings

 

Hop-up is a system that puts a spin on the BBs shot out of airsoft gun. It uses the phenomenon called the Magnus Effect. The trajectory of a flying BB is flattened which makes it similar to the trajectory of a projectile. In practice, it is a properly formed silicon or rubber part of the hop-up unit that rubs against passing BB and in result gives it a backspin.
The simplest explanation for the operation of the Hop-Up unit is that the nub adds backward rotation to the BB. The direction of the spin (backspin) imparts an upward force that lifts the BB and balances the power of gravity. As a result, it allows for a longer flight path. The spin depends on how tight is the hop-up rubber. If we are using heavy BBs we need to use the rubber which is tighter and puts bigger pressure on the pellet. It also works the other way round - when the light ball is too heavily curled it can fly above the shot line.

In our wide range of parts and accessories for airsoft guns, you can find various models of hop-up chambers and buckings. We have products from over a dozen manufacturers including Lonex, SHS and AirsoftPro. Many of them will satisfy even the most demanding airsoft players and technicians. Ideally suited for strength and endurance tuning of replicas. Available hop-up units are made of various materials, including aluminum, metal or polymer.
Many enthusiasts of airsoft gameplay become concerned over time with replicating the battlefield as realistically as possible. In this context, the flight path of the ball is of great importance. Although the better replicas differ little from their prototypes, relatively lightweight balls yield more easily to the force of gravity than bullets. A Hop-Up chamber or Hop-Up rubber band is a relatively simple solution that gives the balls the right rotation, improving their flight path to a more stable one. Your replica model can also be fitted with Hop-Up chambers or rubber bands. You can find the right product in this category. Find out which ASG Hop-Up system best meets your needs!
