Hop-Up is crap. Squeezing a BB to create backspin sucks,. Causes huge inconsistancies bewteen shots. I take out the hop up in all my gas guns. My Super KSC G19 which has a 178mm tightbore, can hit a coke can at over 200 feet with a .2g bb every shot. It shoots about 450 FPS. Hop up is gay, if you have serious power and a long barrel you dont need it. manchovie, youre nuts if you think hop-up increases consistancy with range, all it does is increase range and totally screws up accuracy and precision ,which is why all Japanese target race guns dont use hop-up!!!!

PS, the more hop-up you have, the less power you have, Hop-ups just squeeze BBs to creat backspin, when you turn off or take out the hop up you are no longer forcing the BB thru the tight ass hop up unit, so more power goes to projecting the BB.
