- Purpose: AEG Replicas
- Manufacturer: LCT
The product does not constitute ballistic protection and has no other protective properties. It is not intended for use in protective purposes, including during tactical/war/ASG games.
The use of the product for ballistic protection and/or for other protective purposes, including the use during tactical/war/ASG games, is the use of the product contrary to its intended use, in which case the buyer does so solely at his own risk.
The vendor is not liable for damage to the product, that might result from the use of the product contrary to its intended purpose, this also applies to all possible health consequences (bodily harm) for the user (buyer) or damage to property. Moreover, a misuse of the product will void the warranty on the product.
The vendor is liable to the buyer under the warranty for product defects (in the event of such defects) only if the buyer/user uses the product for its intended purpose, i.e. for purposes other than protective purposes, including the use during tactical/war/ASG games.
The lack of any protective properties of the product is a feature, not a product defect, and therefore it does not constitute a physical defect of the product within the meaning of the Polish Civil Code.
Hop-Up Silicon Bucking
The
Hop-Up bucking was made from silicon, which causes it to retain its qualities in
low temperatures because it does not harden as is the case with ordinary rubber
buckings. Intended for replicas with smaller power
(equipped with a M120 spring or weaker), however it can be used with more
powerful springs - the material deteriorates in such cases proportionately
faster.
What is Hop-Up System?
Hop-Up
is a system that provides BBs fired by an ASG replica with a spin. It uses the
Magnus Effect to flatten the trajectory of a fired BB and thus makes it akin to
that of a flight path of a real bullet fired from a live firearm.
In
practice, it is an appropriately formed rubber or silicon bucking that by
touching a propelled BB gives it a spin. The simplest explanation of Hop-Up
system’s operation is that a spinning BB on the one hand causes more friction
with air, which allows it to turn. When the spin occurs in horizontal plane,
the BB can turn upwards, therefore counteracting the force of gravity.
The
strength with Hop-Up bucking is pressed against a BB determines the amount of
spin and, as a result, the lift. The heavier a BB, the stronger pressure of the
bucking required (since a heavy BB has a more significant inertia and more
quickly falls down). This also is true in reverse - if a light BB receivers too
much spin, it will fly above the line of fire.
