Maple Leaf Silicone Autobot Hop-Up Bucking for GBB Pistols and VSR-10 Series, 85

The plastic surgery business has long known that silicone is the bee’s knees. The same miracle material works wonders in hop-up buckings as well! Silicone as a material has great stability across an extreme temperature range and the ability to quickly return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. It’s a popular material in the R-hop community and in our tests we’ve found that the Silicone Autobot is just as good or even better than an R-hop! The Maple Leaf Autobot – the long range hop-up bucking The Autobot buckings have been designed for long range shooting, due to which the nub of the bucking is shaped like a W (or a diamond, see picture). The nub centers the BB and gives it an even backspin, so that the range is as long as possible. In addition, the Autobot bucking comes with a metal C-ring, which is an upgrade compared to the Gen. 1 buckings. The C-ring keeps the bucking’s nozzle end in the right shape, which improves the tightness between the nozzle and the bucking! The degrees of the buckings The degrees of the hop-up buckings mark their compatibility with guns of different muzzle energies or power levels. In general, you could say: the more powerful the gun, the higher the degree. The manufacturer recommends choosing the degree of your bucking according to the table below. They also recommend choosing a higher degree silicone bucking than a normal bucking in the same power range. So if you’ve been using a 60 degree Autobot in your setup, you should choose the 70 degree Silicone Autobot. However, the old but familiar wisdom still stands: tougher degrees usually last longer and return faster to their shape after shooting. Softer degrees provide more back spin and work better (or longer at least) in cold.
