KWA M4 firing but not hitting

It's been established that it's not an issue with the gun, it's a problem with your expectations.

I won't enter into a ballistics debate...there's plenty of info on the web about Line of Sight, bullet trajectories and zeroing a rifle on the Internet...and it's explained much more thoroughly than it is here.

But...I will put forward my own observations that airsoft bb trajectories are only vaguely similar to traditional firearms trajectories.

Get out to a field (at a game, not your backyard or anywhere where there's the slightest chance that you'll alarm the public) and pick out something a good long ways away (100feet is a good starting point). Take a couple of shots and keep both eyes (protected by goggles) open to see your shots. Some people have the visual capability to see the bbs and others don't...if you're having trouble, get someone else to spot for you. Shoot at a top of a tree, or the end of a branch or a specific object. (shooting with the sun behind you is easier than shooting into the sun... ). Look at the flight path of the bb...not just the absolute impact point.

The flight path should be as level as possible (i.e. very much like a straight level line) until the bb drops off sharply to the ground. This is where airsoft and firearm trajectories differ the most in my opinion. If your shots are falling short/nose diving "quickly"....then turn up your hopup. If they are heading out straight/level and then rising (also a difference between airsoft and firearms trajectories) at the end...then turn down your hopup.

***edit***
Ooops forgot to add this. Once you have your hopup dialed in, then you can turn your attention to zeroing your sights. There's no point in zeroing them if your bbs flight path aren't predictable.
*********

If you're getting wild flyers and some are shooting well and others are going all over the place...or if you're not getting the range that you thought you would...or if you find yourself wanting "just 10 more yards...)...well, welcome to airsoft.

If it's totally botched and just not working, take it someone to get it checked out...it'll save you a bunch of headaches, pain and aggravation.

Did you not read ANYTHING in this thread? In which case, why did you make this thread? If you're not going to listen to people who know what they're talking about....then...just.....ugh.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

this is just so fucking hopeless... *Cries in the corner*

euhm .. for the record, the main thread says 'problem solved', but we don't know if it is solved until he puts the bucking into the hop-up and tried it.

Bucking fall off easily once you remove the sleeve, so it could have fallen when he to the hopup apart and he hasnt seen it rolling to the corner of his room. I'd like to get a feedback on this thread to check if it was really a bucking missing.

I'm not saying your lying, but you should wait writing 'problem solved'.

People above my post know that bucking can't disappear, and so i. you said that everythings worked fine for about 3'000 rounds which we all assumed you had play with the hop up a bit once you got your armalite. Btw, that really surprise me to hear that KWA forgot a thing in one of their aeg, they put sector clip in their aeg!

Forgot the nub....oh boy...

Nothing fell out I disassembled the gun on the floor over a white towel. Everything that fall out would have fallen on that towel.

mind you that bucking is EXTREMELY small, it could get caught up in your pants, other parts lying around and its almost impossible to notice.

[ownzyouall]

Probably. W/e hopefully the replacement parts would fix it. Kinda weird how an AEG would act like this.

[F34N0R]

Its really weird that a hopup can work flawlessly without bucking.

No bucking = no hopup action (spinning). The hammer is not long enough to reach the sleeve.

So you have never setup your hopup even after 3000 rounds... ?

The effect that a hopup would have wouldn't be noticeable at 10 feet anyway.

i was over at ownzyouall a.k.a Ricky's house when he got the replacement. Seems to be working better now.

WTF?

[ownzyouall]

My AEG is fixed. Works just like when it was brand new. I couldn't be happier.
