This week we go head to head with some of the most popular hop-up units to determine which is best. All tests are conducted in a controlled environment. None of the test models are homemade, 3D-printed, or previously modified guns.
Hi, a have few point to you... 50° /60° / 70° / 80° etc is not °C as temperature... its a °shore and its a hardness of the rubber. Also harder ruber dont equals to better accuracy, there is more variables which is depend on... And Why are you dont use same bucking and nub combo with all chambers? different buckings and nubs will have different accuracy result of course. And your hop settings / pressure is too low. at 100ft you shoud shoot totally straight and your accuracy results will be better. Thanks for response
I feel like this wasn’t a very fair comparison because you didn’t only change the hop-up unit itself. It really should’ve been done with the same barrel, same bucking, and same tensioner/nub. Way too many variables. Although the rundown on how a hop-up unit actually works was really good. Another thing to show would be the adjustment range these units offer and maybe some bucking and barrel fitment tests.
It seems every Airsoft test out there seems to have a good premise but then a gaping flaw in the whole testing method that renders the entire test useless 🤦🏻♂️
I've been out of the game for a long time but I thought you were supposed to be using the Omega nub (or curved equivalent) with the MrHop buckings. I'd expect a flat arm to mess up the curvature of the protrusion inside the bucking which would defeat the concept of how the bucking is supposed to work.
For most M4 types the ZCI barrel ZCI Hop-Up and Maple leaf rubber work tremendously well at a fraction of the cost. There is a reason so many well respected techs use this combo.
@@bryansai6819 Thanks. I purchased G&G. I haven't installed it yet but seems to be a quality piece. G&G is what Neg Airsoft recommends, along with ZCI.
@@mtbbiker6401 for sure, I recommend an omega nub, G&G hopup, maple leaf bucking/rubber(60 degree if you're under 1.4ish joules/400 fps with .2s), and a lambda barrel but zci works just as well on a budget
Great Vid Sir! I’ve loved your content since I started here in the UK around 6 years ago! Still providing great intel and opinion I feel,I can rely on! Makes me smile to see independent evidence G&G continue to do such a great, under-celebrated job! Thanks, loved this! Stay safe Sir Replay!
+ Stabilize the inner barrel to outer barrel using any padding. + Lock the absolute position of the chamber to the front of the gearbox. + Using R-hop or Hop rubber with "multiple concussion points" + Do perfect airseal and use ported cylinder at the releasing point to correct the piston head oring before compression phase + And tons of other...
I liked the video, but i feel your science is flawed a bit. Your only control constant was the barrel. When it should be the bucking, gun, and barrel. The barrel should be cleaned and the only variable should be the hopup. You then test once with the normal nub and once with the flat/R hop nub for every hopup chamber. You can do all this with the AEG and the HPA.
Well there are some issues with your testing procedures here. But you knew that and of course it was called out in the comments. That said, you also mentioned, right from the start, that the hop unit is a nebulas thing with lots of variables. 100% agree with that! I have used all of these hop units mentioned in this video, in a lot of different guns over the years. As well as a few of the other, more expensive units not shown here. And I will agree with you, there are all sorts of variables when changing out hop units. There is no one way or one group of parts that is best in every gun. Anyone that says, "do it this way only..." is immediately discounted. Because there's no "one way" to build the same model of airsoft gun. There is no "TM standard" out there. There hasn't been since the first other manufactures came along and started to make their own guns in different ways. They are all different with different specs for their different parts. Luckily some of these parts interact well with each other. Some don't, as you mentioned. At best, this is a reference video, but I applaud your efforts here. Its a damn funny thing trying to help people. In the end, you did some good work, but need to have a more scientific approach and use the same parts in all setups. Maybe its not possible, but at least try. Thanks!
if you dont use the same exact bucking your not testing the hop up unit, are you doing this to sway things in your favor? or do you really not know this?
Does a bad bucking cause the gun to double or triple feed cuz my scar h shoots but some times 2 or 3 bbs come out at once and advice or trouble shoot should I just buy a whole new hopup with a new bucking?
Sorry for asking if you already answered, but what shape of nub did you use with the pro win hop-up? and if you used another arm, is there another way to improve accuracy without arm replacing.
Doesn't have the hop up set correctly. Doesn't use the same bucking combo for each hop up. Doesn't use the correct nub for the ML buckings (both should use the matching omega nub). Really it should be the exact same barrel and bucking being used in each hop up chamber to account for tolerances from bucking to bucking and barrel to barrel.
this, they should also use the SAME barrel not just same make, ideally high end one like PDI... or if you are using MapleLeaf buckings choose the barrel with window made for these so MapleLeaf or ActionArmy ActionArmy or PDI 6.01 barrel MapleLeaf MR hop 60 or 70 shore bucking MapleLeaf Omega nub also if your goal is to test the hop up and not the barrel, 510 mm is WAY too long, the shorter the barrel the less it affects the BB also after much debate and tests and so on, it was found that the longest usable barrel length is 465mm, anything beyond that and all you are doing is making the bb bounce around in the barrel screwing the hop up spin instead of stabilization. i would use typical +-365mm barrel for test of M4 style hop up unit instead to test "real use scenario" instead of insane 510mm barrel length you will only find in full length M16 / DMR rifles
I'd say that 32 grams is to heavy at anything below 1.2 joule. With hpa and propper valve time .3 is the best with aeg .3 or even .28 might give better results.
LOL! So in other words, after all of the r-hop s-hop flat-hop fiddly widdly hocus pocus tweaking is said and done...the good old stock hop up with silicone bucking performs just as well if not better? 😆 Hate incoming!!!!
