What does adjusting hop up do?
Its main function is to increase and decrease the pressure applied on one side (top) of your BB when chambered that creates a backspin when fired thus creating a perpendicular force pulling the BB upwards and increasing effective range.
What is a good FPS for an airsoft sniper?
Anything not considered a DMR (designated marksman rifle) or a sniper rifle, so long as the replica clocks in between 366 and 420 fps, you’re in the clear. DMRs must clock in between 420 and 450 fps. And the ever so ‘rare’ sniper user, anything over 480, but under 550 fps, is considered ideal.

What is a Hopup bucking?
Hop up is an essential part in every airsoft replica. In order to improve range of your replica, hop up bucking nudges the top of BB to create backspin which makes it behave like a glider. In the essence it “hops” the pellet. It’s all about aerodynamics! Too much backspin and the BB will fly up.
How does hop up work on airsoft?
Hop-up is the backspin put on airsoft pellets and BBs to increase their range via the Magnus effect. This causes the plastic pellet to fall less over a given distance than it would without the spin applied, extending the effective range of the weapon without increasing velocity.
What is the max FPS allowed in airsoft?
Most indoor North American fields allow a maximum of 350 FPS, although some fields allow more whereas others allow even less. Outdoor limits typically range from around 450 to 550 FPS but most of these also implement a minimum engagement distance (MED), which are mainly in place for player safety.
