ARCHWICK Buckings are an easy but effective performance upgrade for most airsoft guns. Our bucking split into 3 series: Javelin (AEG), Trident (GBB), and Arrow (VSR-10). These 3 series combine to cover the most common types of Airsoft guns; from AEGs to GBBs to Bolt Action Sniper rifles, we have a hop up bucking with the right combination of materials, design, and hardness for your application.
· Patented Directional Air Channel –
This small channel located on the top of the bucking allows air from behind the BB to bleed off, thus reducing the amount of turbulence behind the round. This ‘smooths out’ the air behind the BB, thus maximizing the Magnus effect, while reducing BB contact with the barrel inner wall. This greatly improves the BB’s flight path, thus improving both range and accuracy.
· Y shaped BB guiding channel –
By utilizing a Y-shaped design with a directional guiding channel, the BB maintains 3 points of contact with more consistent BB positioning.
· Custom Pressure Point Designs –
By utilizing different pressure point sizes, shapes, and designs, the duration of contact and the positioning of the pressure points are optimized.
· Extra protective packaging –
A clear and rigid container protects the bucking during transportation. This ensures that the bucking stays in its original shape as produced from the factory and prevents against deformation or material contamination.
ARCHWICK – TRIDENT Series GBB Hop Up Bucking
Materials:
NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) – NBR is a synthetic rubber compound with excellent durability, consistency, elasticity, and anti-abrasion properties. However, NBR is easily affected by temperature changes, and may require ‘warming’ up with a few shots before shot placement becomes more consistent.
Silicon – Silicon’s best attributes are its ability to withstand heat and temperature fluctuations. These properties make silicon buckings more suitable for use with higher velocities and heavier BBs as it’s able to maintain consistency regardless of the frictional forces acting against it. Its all-weather consistency also allows for better cold core shots as the material does not require a ‘warm up’, thus making it the preferred choice for Sniper Rifles. However, Silicon is not as durable as NBR and will wear out faster, thus requiring more frequent bucking changes.
Hardness:
Hop up bucking hardness is really dictated by individual set ups. Differences in velocities and BB weights will require different hardness. Generally speaking, the higher the velocity and the heavier the BB, the harder the bucking compound should be. However, with a harder compound, there’s a decrease in elasticity, thus making the bucking less responsive.
The most common hardness used is 60 degrees as it’s a happy medium between elasticity / durability/ and consistency, and is suitable for most mid to high power set ups.
Applications:
NBR – Full Auto guns
Silicon – Sniper Rifles, GBB Pistols, Semi Auto Only Guns
