Hop-Up Adjustments
To adjust the hop-up, remove the
magazine and locate the hop-up
adjustment set-screw. Turning the
screw clockwise will reduce the effect of
hop-up, while turning the screw counter-
clockwise will increase the effect of hop-
up.
Hop-up is a special feature that extends
the effective range of the Professional
Training Weapon by putting a “back-
spin” on the BB bullet. The back-spin
will create additional aerodynamic lift,
effectively makes the BB “float” in the air
and increases its effective range.
For typical in-door, force-on-force training, the engagement distance will be so
short that the effect of hop-up will not be noticeable. As a result, for premises-
entry type of training, the adjustment of hop-up is typically unnecessary.
However, in larger area of operations such as urban warfare training/scenarios,
proper adjustments of hop-up is a critical component in maximizing the
effectiveness of the Professional Training Weapon.
After the adjustments has been made,
install the magazine and test-fire the
weapon in a shooting range. Notice
the trajectory and re-adjust if
necessary. Please also note that every
brand/type/weight of BBs will require a slightly different hop-up adjustments; for
example heavier BB typically requires more back-spin to “stay afloat”,and the
smoothness of the BB’s service also requires slightly different settings. As a
result, it is advisable to standardize on a particular type/model of BB so that you
do not need to re-calibrate the ho-up every time a new round is used.
