The Tru-HopTM is a high quality, high performance, all weather hop-up bucking designed to significantly boost range and accuracy in your AEG or AEG-compatible replica. This hop-up bucking is easily installed and requires zero† modification.
Additionally, this bucking performs consistently in a broad temperature range (-50°C to 230°C/ -58°F to 446°F). You can expect the same range and accuracy regardless of playing in cold snow or in a hot desert.
Lastly, the material used in this hop-up bucking has high durability and allows the Tru-HopTM to withstand hundreds of thousands of rounds.
† Most inner barrels are compatible. Please refer to the “Compatibility” section below.
Tru-HopTM contact patches have two main advantages:
- Increased friction over the top of the BB, and
- Muzzle energy retention
This means you can over-hop virtually any weight BB without experiencing signification energy loss. The Tru-HopTM bucking does this by allowing the BB to pass more freely during firing since little hop-up pressure is required. The air loss at the nozzle-bucking interface is therefore reduced and more energy is retained during firing. This translates to farther range at your optimal flight path.
Both generations were designed to boost the accuracy of your airsoft gun. Hours of trial-and-error testing ensures compatibility of the bucking with numerous BB brands. Other bucking features were thoroughly studied as well.
Simply put, every aspect of Tru-HopTM was designed and tested to yield the maximum performance from your airsoft gun.
Tru-Hop Concave Spacer
TruSight Airsoft has also designed a companion hop-up spacer that replaces the stock rubber cylinder in a typical hop-up unit. Although this spacer is not required, the hop-up effect of the Tru-HopTM bucking will be maximized with full area contact. Like the bucking itself, this spacer was designed in-house and fine tuned through experimentation. The end result is a product that stands out as an individual contributor to performance.
Compatibility
Due to the shape of the internal contact patch, there are some barrel requirements that must be met. This bucking was designed to be compatible across a large spectrum of barrel brands. However not all barrels will be compatible. To check for compatibility, please ensure that the barrel window meets the minimum dimensions shown below. Ideally the corners of the barrel window should be squared, however the TruSight Airsoft team has tested some rounded corner barrels with success.
We recommend using a light film of silicone oil on the portion of the barrel shown above to aid in installation. Likewise, coating the Tru-HopTM bucking with a light film of silicone oil will make sliding the barrel and bucking assembly into the hop-up chamber easier. Tru-HopTM buckings have a 500 – 1000 round break-in period before maximum performance is achieved.
