[Airsoft] How to fix curving problems

[@magicundead5838]

I am using Maxx hop up, their metal numbs are the best. A side effect is I am forced to change my bucking more frequently. Like once a year. But no problem with sidespins etc.

[@Relizu]

Metal nubs are a bit tougher on the buckings yes! They can also experience curving problems, but fortunately it's not very common :)

[@redblue9577]

So if I have curving on a maxx hopup?

[@magicundead5838]

@@redblue9577 Check if your nub is actually has even surface, maybe you need to file it a bit to even it out or check the pressure arm if it applies pressure on the nub evenly or nub doesn't get stuck anywhere while moving up and down.

[@Kokkeman66]

Thanks. Good explanation of probable causes. I think however you can add another cause, the position of the barrel. Some barrel & hop up chamber combinations have some slack -space to twist the barrel left or right- . If the barrel is twisted just a mm to the left or right, your nub will give more pressure to the side to where it's twisted. I noticed this with my mp5k. I could solve it by turning the barrel a bit to the opposite side.

[@Relizu]

Yes, this is the case when the bucking is fixed to the barrel instead of to the chamber, such as in AEGs. It's not ideal if that happens, and it can indeed cause curving as well :)

Hey man I read your sniper forums in the Well L96 and I have to say thank you for that man

[@NexissTV]

Can you link the forum? I have the same sniper

[@eiffon]

had this with my flat hopped M24. it needs to be perfectly level. might get a maple leaf bucking

[@bigrig9231]

Thank you Sean Connery

VERY well done vid! I like your style of explaining how/why things happen. I'm new to airsoft; grew up with firearms, and did quite a bit of regular shooting on evenings and weekends (Phoenix) before moving to where I now reside (overseas), and where firearms ownership (including pellet air-rifles and air-soft guns) is incredibly restricted. So a few years ago, needing a pest control implement, I got an M24 Snow Wolf and started getting into airsoft. Culled some invasive groups of pigeons (ongoing) and get the occasional rat, so my concerns are mostly the FPS (yep!) and accuracy, usually within 30 meters. I'm looking to upgrade (in order) the barrel and hop-up, and then the cylinder, then the trigger assembly (I just replaced the whole trigger-box...smh...), and finally the spring. So before I start, I'm reviewing/saving LOTS of airsoft repair- and upgrade-vids. Seeing experienced folks, like you and a few others I've viewed lately, manipulate parts as they explain the function or the problem that is the topic, or, as you did, use graphic illustration to not only explain the function of, but also how to fabricate, parts, and to explain the effects of friction/contact/spin on trajectory, etc., really helps me grasp the 'mechanics' not only of the weapon (and all the similarities/variations in the different models) but of how the design actually incorporates and allows for the adjustment of that spin to create the desired trajectory. It makes my heart sink a bit as I shoot at my home-made target rack at 25 meters, and can actually see the BB start to drop. I'd like to get the FPS up to about 620+ and see how it goes. Thanks so much for creating and sharing such a clear, and easy -to-comprehend vid!

[@Jasonblanny]

thanks! i was wondering why my gun is shooting left but the drawing you did with the nub being slightly at the wrong angle helped me tons. i now have a perfectly straight shooting gun :D

[@anomalyp8584]

How did you solve it?

[@Jasonblanny]

@@anomalyp8584 tbh it's different for every single gun bro, try checking what angle your hop rubber nub is at and if it doesn't look even there's your issue.

[@zydon8936]

Welcome back!

[@PandaTamer97]

The face at 6:50 is how I feel tryna solve this problem

[@pep729]

💯 😄

[@mememarshy5385]

Thank you , this explains perfect to me while I'm studying Physics! XD

[@benwills2240]

So useful and in-depth, thank you!

[@laurikovero]

i have cyma m24 with all airsoft pro upragades shootin 3joules 0.45bb but now i have air leak on piston and bucking im using mapleleaf macarov 80 degree and hop up unit is airsoft pro gen 2

[@Relizu]

I'm not too experienced on AEGs, but 80 degrees sounds like a hard bucking... that being said, AEGs will never seal 100% because the nozzle retracts so it's all a bit less important there. As long as your fps consistency doesn't suffer ;)

[@laurikovero]

@@Relizu thanks for tips!

[@HeavyToad]

It is curving up even with hop all the way down

[@-jolt31v39]

Shimming the inner barrel and metal sleeve with tape for better trajectory.

[@anomalyp8584]

Explain what you mean?

[@darkNovaskar]

I disassembled my g39c gas blowback rifle and now the bbs just roll out. What da problem izz please help man

[@sneez9461]

Its probably no hopup applied, so they have nothing to stop them in the barrel.

[@conn0r_gray537]

I’m having a very weird issue with my HPA set up, and even with this video it doesn’t seem to cover the problem I’m having. Would you be willing to help?

[@wyz2285]

What if you use a Prometheus bridge nub instead of the Maple leaf?

[@Relizu]

The same applies ;) However, that nub is not recommended with maple leaf buckings.

[@felizon]

Thanks man! I'm owner of an CA m24 LTR and by the time I bought it, I just replaced the bucking with an Action Army one and swapped the spring for an m150 and i was very happy with it, perfect seal, +- 2fps variation... But after two weeks I lost all the consistency and the perfect seal... So I'm gonna buy the AA chamber for this model(green one) and maple leaf bucking, but I'm in the doubt with the cylinder head. Will the stock one work for it? And do you think it's worth buying a Crazy Jet instead of an steel Action Army barrel? Thanks for everything :)

[@historyhunterjustindepace4837]

Great info thanks!!

[@anomalyp8584]

Ikzelf ben redelijk nieuw in het gebeuren en ik ben nog aan het zoeken welke BB mijn replica het liefste heeft. Iedereen roept...go heavy or go home, maar ik merk dat boven de 0.42 het gewoon geen zin meer heeft. en de 0.4 klasse vliegt mooi en stabiel genoeg. Een TDC erop gezet in combi met maple leaf aimbot bucking. Schiet rond de 500 fps met 0.2 ( 2,2 Joules). Cylinder/loop ratio = 3:1. Loop zelf is 6.01 mm. De velden laten enkel Bio's toe en het liefst zou ik voor wit willen gaan. Any ideas? (novritsch, geoff's,...) Side note: de hele hype rond lopen (vnl crazy jets van maple leaf) en de hele bro-science errond. Het is moeilijk om te weten wie en wat te geloven. Heb je hier ervaring mee?

[@rickert9237]

He anomalie p, zelf heb ik een aac t10 die 2,3j schiet op 0.3g en gebruik 0.40g longshot bbs en schiet na mijn part even goed en ver (0.4g is de max toegestane bbs in nederland.). Kwa loop heb ik de maple leaf crazy yet 6.03 van 430 mm, met een aa hop up, maple leaf autobot 60 en een tridos 2.0 tdc er in. Zelf vind ik dat de 6.03 mm lopen beter zijn op afstand dan de 6.01. Zelf schiet ik ook een mooie 95m met mijn replica.

[@anomalyp8584]

En met beter bedoel je consistenter of verder? Of beide ...

[@colbcolb_alien]

What if it is curving straight up?

[@giacomoalaimo9151]

Maybe is just about adjusting the hop up is it s a vertical issue

[@rabinboedhoe3533]

Je bent de enige tot nu toe hier,die er uitleg over geeft👍🏽.hoe los je deze probleem op in een gbb replica pistool ondat de nub anders is?

[@Area-lr1mz]

Curving is not a problem its a feature imbrace it 😂 But i get it by this way you can curve when you want to
