bult action hopup

Postby Marpat » Sat Jan 26, 2013 2:45 pm

I have a JG bar 10 that i have upgraded in every possible way except for the hopup. i never upgraded the hopup because it shoots accurately on its own but i want to pull a few more feet out of it before i am done. i have it shooting consistently at around 520 fps. my question is where can i find a good upgrade hopup and what is a good bucking to go with it because the last bucking i got (JG red bucking) was shit and i ended up going back to the original. also what do you think would be the best size BB's to use in this gun?

As for the bb size, you want to be as close to 6mm as possible. More important than the size is the consistency and weight.
At 520fps you'll want at least .30's. most events won't require a sniper to use bios, so there are high quality options like bastard bbs and nonbio Airsoft Elites.

try an Rhop upgrade, Some people say they can add anywhere from 25-100 extra feet of effective range. It works best for giving heavier bb's less drop. so on a sniper platform it would probably have the best performance increase

Its a tricky process, but its arguably the best thing you can really do as far as a hop up upgrade. Its relatively cheap to do, but it takes alot of fine tuning

you can get the patches at airsoftgi

IR hop kit (probably cheaper on a different site)
