Airsoft Hop Up Explained
What does a hop-up do with airsoft guns?
I’m getting into airsoft, and i’m watching reviews on youtube about the guns which i would like to buy. Every one of them just says: “this has an ajustable hopup” and don’t say what it does. Could someone please explain the hopup system for most airsoft guns?
Airsoft hop-up devices apply a backspin to the pellet so that the pressure force acts on the pellet opposite to the direction that gravity is pulling it. This causes the pellet to fall less over a given distance than it would without the spin applied to it.
In airsoft guns this is often implemented as a rubber piece at the rear of the barrel that is thicker at the top of the barrel than the bottom. As the pellet moves past this piece it tends to roll, inducing a backspin. This is occasionally adjustable so that the effect can be tuned to suit the weight or speed of the pellet, and each player’s preference.
