Hop-up (airsoft)

Hop-up is like a special trick that helps airsoft bullets fly straighter and farther. It's like when you throw a frisbee and you want it to fly straight and far, you give it a little spin to make it go better.

In airsoft, the hop-up is a part of the gun that puts a little spin on the bullet as it's shot out. This spin makes the bullet go up a little bit, which might sound weird, but it actually helps it fly straighter because it helps it resist gravity.

To adjust the hop-up, there's a little knob or lever on the gun that you can turn or slide. You can make the hop-up stronger or weaker, depending on how far you want the bullet to go and how straight you want it to fly.

It's important to have a good hop-up if you want to be a good airsoft player, because it helps your bullets go where you want them to go. So if you're playing airsoft, make sure to pay attention to your hop-up and adjust it as needed!
