The production quality and the sheer amount of thought which has gone into this is bar none! I can't wait to see the next videos in the series. Nice work!
Hey Guys, welcome to our first video!!! The 4UAD Hop Up Grading System test. Not only this test would test out an airsoft gun's hop up performance, it also gives the gun a performance score! We would like to know how heavy of a BB can your stock AEG handle? Leave some comments, and let us know your thoughts! #Smartairsoft
So you said the hopup in the gun in video was turned all the way down?? You mean all the way up?? Or did it have the hopup at its minimal setting?? I would think you’d test at maximum setting?? Please clarify
Really refreshing to see a methodical, scientific approach to airsoft! Great production value too. I'm definitely interested in seeing more videos from you guys in the future.
Alright, alright, alright! You immediately earn my respect and a sub. As someone that had made videos for a long time, I have a massive admiration for the effort gone into this production. Like someone else here, I was a bit confused with the wording "hop down" as we refer to increasing the engagement as "hop up" over here but in terms of the video itself, I didn't want it to end. I would've gladly sat here watching an hour and a half of testing like this. Great job!
I was not disappointed with the search results I found after typing in: “Heavy BBs in an AEG.” I was wondering what would happen if I used heavy bb’s in an aeg made for CQB and this video really helped. 😆🤷🏻♂️
Finnally an Airsoft engineering/science channel! You got yourself a sub. Altough a little bit dimmed down, that is a good thing as it makes it more accesable to more viewers! I did myself also some research to see the influence of BB Weight, flow, and barrel ratio volume as a personal project for my academy (chemical engineering). Was thinking about making some video's myself but I would never be able to make quality content like you do! Edit: are you familiair with the 2k-design of design of experiments? A great way to get results, while minimizing the amount of tests. Great way to show internactions of different variables!
This man and this company deserves my Like. This is the first Airsoft channel i have ever seen something ive been looking for with Great tests and great footage.
This has to be one of the most informative videos regarding Hop Up there is, and the effort involved to bring it to use with such detail is massively appreciated, especially for me being a beginner! Thanks guys, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub Cossa! We are really happy that this video could do some help to beginners, and thanks for the Sub, we got a lot more we want to share with the community!
Saw your GHK Glock video then went back to watch every video, and here I am. You guys have improved a lot and you are also much more comfortable with your English a year on! Keep up the good work, this is the best content of this type in airsoft we've ever seen.
Thanks aaron and gotta say camera is one scary thing to look at. I got to say in the beginning looking at camera and speaking something I don't speak daily is hard as Fxxk. LOL still thanks for the support man, you are the man!
Best explanation. Alot of time to create those grade system , thats just a big WAOW ! Enjoy your new subscriber mate thank you for your time and a big thanks to you again ! :)
You are welcome!!! Thank you so much for the support! We sure spend a lot of time on the grading system, its something we hope to bring the market to another level! After the first season we will have one video that explains what grading system really is!
Love the video! You guys have done a great job of showing how a new airsofter should start to look at hopups and bb’s in airsoft. There are other variables you did eliminate which go into the stock performance of an airsoft gun but ultimately I think you guys nailed the basic concept impeccably. I’d love to see you guys go into more detail with this in the future.
Sub from me. As a long time airsofter, this is certainly the best explanation/ visualization and test of hop up I have seen. Well done. And I look forward to the rest of the series. Hopefully with more tests it would be awesome to show the inherent myth that raw fps does not equal range.
Great work! Love to see industry standard buckings and tensioners to be compared... maple leaf, tru sight, tnt, etc 😘 with different barrel lengths and diameters.... THATS the big quest folks 😎👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Love the video bro, I’m new to airsoft and I’m thinking about buying the “Umarex Tactical Force TF CQB 6mm BB Standard Action Rifle Airsoft Gun” and I was confused on what bbs to buy until I watched this video I appreciate that.
Glad to help buddy! Just keep in mind although heavier bbs can carry more momentum, the performance really depends on the hop up and the spring, little upgrade to your FPS and your hop up would give you a better performance when you use heavy bbs! Good luck!
4UAD, amazing! Best airsoft testing on RU-vid! With your scientific approach and experience, what do you think is best setup for max bolt action sniper range? Straight trajectory and then overhold (aim high) or slight over hop and then learn how much to ‘underhold’ at closer ranges? If so, how much over hop is optimal (if we define it as amount of vertical climb in metres to the highest point of trajectory from the barrel when the RIF is fired perfectly flat). Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thanks buddy, to be honest we found the max effective range on a legal heavy airsoft shooter is around 70-80meter. Any range beyond that becomes like 50:50 you either hit it our not. The adjustments also depends on which field you play. Personally I don’t like to over hop my gun for the range, instead I prefer a little drop on my trajectory. If the target is too far I will adjust the angle instead of adding the hop. I found this method gives me the most predictable shots. Good luck hope this helps!
@@4UADSmartAirsoft Please do some proper testing of spring snipers! Would love to see you guys do it properly! If you check out the airsoft trajectory project you’ll also see some models which would be amazing for you to compare against!
Really great content! Subscribed already. Will you guys be providing range tests for lots of stock guns? That would really fill a niche that no one else does and everyone wants for sure. Keep it up!
Ethan Smith ya bro that’s the whole point of this channel! Each gun will be getting a grade so we scientifically know how certain stock gun is performing! Stay tuned for the range test!
when you said "turn the hop up all teh way down" are you doing this test with the nub depressed entirely (down) or the nub initiating minimal contact when a bb comes through the bucking, as in turning it "down" the top spin...am just new to AS and trying to figure out which weight bb to get lol
Hi Nik! Still awake?! Man gotta say you have some young soul going inside you!!! Thanks for the comments it really means a lot to us! Stay tuned for more exciting grading system test!
4UAD SmartAirsoft to be frank, this is best video I’ve ever seen regarding how hop-up system works with scientific explanation. It’s simple, easy to understand through graphic presentation and real shooting demonstration. You have done really great work here.
@@4UADSmartAirsoft I figured as much! I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it will be the one I plan on buying as my first to get into the sport (Krytac mkii SPR)
?? bb weights usually range from 0.12-0.30? and even with the hop up turned all the way down the rifle is shooting those weights way high at what is pretty much average engagement distance? maybe he misspoke and meant to say "all the way up" but he said he turned the hop up down twice in the video so idk
Nice video very helpful keep it up. What is ths fabric used to absorb the bbs? Side note it would be helpful if you had some links to the equipment you used in this video as well. A lot of that stuff you used was useful.
Hi, I'm a beginner Airsoft user in Korea. Enjoyed your testing video. I've asked following questions to other users around me but none of them had the same test as you did nor ever used other BBs than 0.2 or 0.3g. Here my questions after watching your video. Can I apply your test result with AEG SIG to all the other cases? Do you think testing proper gas pressure with each AEG, GBB and ACG and their Pistol, Rifle and Sniper will have different results? If so, should I use different BBs in different weight maximizing hop-up and choosing BBs that land on the middle line? Won't it too hard for the guns? Please kindly let me know your thoughts. I look forward to your answer.
Hey Buddy! Thank you for asking and thank you for the support! and to answer your question, Can I apply your test result with AEG SIG to all the other cases? YES, certainly, and would it be to hard to other guns? I'm not sure....since the bucking is all different, but this is certainly a way you can determent how heavy your gun can lift. For the Test I would recommend you have the gun set at a fixed spot and spin the hop up to the tightest and fire different weights of the bbs, you can observe how the bbs fly and eventually choose the most ideal weight to your needs. We all have different needs, some wants the speed and some wants the stability, choose the one you like the most and let us know if you got other questions! Welcome to Airsoft buddy!
Thank you for your kind and sincere answer. It was a great help. As you said, I will test it properly and choose BBs that fit my gun. Thank you very much. I hope your channel will prosper.^_^
cool video but you got the details behind magnus effect explanation a little incorrectly. As you said, the backward spin creates two different surface velocities on the top and bottom of the BB. When air flow is speed up, the pressure drops. When the air flow speed is slowed down, the air pressure increases. So now you have two different pressures. The higher pressure at the bottom pushes on to the BB which is countered by the lower pressure from the top. As it is lower, there will be a resultant force upward causing the lift through spin known as the Magnus effect.
Hey thanks for your thought :) And Your interpretation is closer to the "Bernoulli's Pri" The Magnus effect is often considered a particular manifestation of the Bernoulli’s principle. According to Bernoulli’s principle in a non-viscous fluid, the pressure decreases when there is an increase in the speed of the fluid. However, considering the example of a spinning ball in the Magnus effect, the rotating ball creates a whirlpool of fluid (air) around it, and experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion. We consider the viscosity of the fluid in the Magnus effect whereas the Bernoulli’s principle is mainly applicable for fluid without viscosity. While there may be situations where aspects of Bernoulli's Principle play a role in the overall dynamics of a system experiencing the Magnus Effect, the Magnus Effect itself is more directly related to the rotation of the object and the resulting pressure differences. I'm glad you shared your thoughts, and I welcome further discussion
@@4UADSmartAirsoft Just keep doing these type of video as you have good controls set up and really help airsofters and techs to have something to compare to 👍🏼👍🏼
These videos are amazing 👏but I wish your range would be 30mtrs as in he uk its a 30mtrs minimum engagement for a sniper. So if my pistol cant hop that far I'm not interested
Thanks mate! That is some really great insight from different regions, since we are still improving the grading system, I think we can do some modifications here and there.
Thanks for the feedback buddy and so far after we test out all different distances from 10/20/30/40/50 and even 60 meters the best one that allows us to see the difference for all kinds of guns was 20 meters. We know we have to sacrifice a little on the long range rifles, but that’s the best solution we got so far.
@@4UADSmartAirsoft Ok. I understand why you did it this way. But what I mean is can I effectively play with x weight BB’s, the 20mtr test does not tell you that. Nice content here though! Have a nice day
@@MrGoogle87 sure buddy thanks for understanding, the point is if it can lift at 20meter it is obvious that the Bb will travel upwards after 20 meters. This way it becomes the easiest way to make sure a certain gun can lift at certain weight. Thanks again though for pointing out your concerns:D
Would love you guys to show us how much tilting an airsoft gun(on barrel axis) will affect the bullet trajectory, (due to hop up?) Thinking 20 meters and tilting it 30° and 45° (The default offset sights positions)
@@4UADSmartAirsoft you're welcome! Looking forward to see more videos from you guys! Really amazing job with the amount of graphics and information you put into these videos❤
Normally for beginners we would recommend 0.28g bbs for AEGs I usually use 0.28-0.36 depending on the build. 0.4 above could be good but also very very pricey
@@4UADSmartAirsoft so everyone and there mother dislikes the lancer tactical series. Probably going to go with the krytac trident mk2. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks for the response as well! Cheers!
@@problematic_canik Ya man any time, I would say with some fine tuning any gun can be a decent gun, but yes if you have enough budget Krytac won't let you down :D and thanks for the support!
If you fixed hop up at the level you can fire the bbs straight and left it there without change it at the first situation, the hop up maybe it will be damaged for some reason or it doesn't has any problem?
