Modify Flat-Hop bucking

The Hop-Up chamber is made of high quality rubber and thanks to this it retains its properties even at low temperatures, while not hardening as is the case with ordinary rubber. It is suitable for both typical conditions and sub-zero temperatures - it retains its properties even at temperatures of up to 40 degrees below zero.

It is suitable for BB pellets that are 0.25g or heavier, it is not recommended to use 0.20g BB pellets or lighter.

The set includes a spacer.

What is the Hop-Up system?

The hop-up system is a system that gives the BB pellets fired by airsoft replicas a spinning motion. It uses the Magnus effect to flatten the trajectory of a flying bullet, making it look similar to the trajectory of a real firearm bullet.

In reality, it is a properly moulded rubber or silicone seal that creates a spinning motion by contact with an accelerated airgun pellet. The simplest way to explain the hop-up system is to say that a BB pellet that is rotated from one side creates more friction to the air, allowing it to rotate. When the rotation takes place in the horizontal axis, the ball turns upwards and compensates for the force of gravity.

The strength with which the hop-up rubber touches the ball determines how much it rotates and therefore rises. The heavier the airgun pellet is, the greater the pressure of the hop-up rubber must be (while the heavier airgun pellet has greater inertia and falls down faster). It also works the other way round - if a light airgun pellet is turned too much, it can go over the firing line.
