Standard round nubs in airsoft guns do not work optimally with Maple Leaf’s new hop-up buckings featuring an elongated contact patch, as the point-shaped nub curves the bucking’s contact area. This prevents full benefit from the autobot hop’s long contact surface and may cause the bucking to bend into an unintended position. We recommend using Maple Leaf’s curved nub or curved adjustment arm for best performance. For GBB pistols, it is recommended to use the Maple Leaf I-Key nub.
Hop-up bucking degree rating (hardness)
The degree rating of hop-up buckings indicates their softness. The lower the degree, the softer the bucking. Different hardness levels perform differently across various power ranges. In other words, the degree rating can be used as a guideline when selecting a suitable bucking for an airsoft gun once its power is known. As a rule of thumb, the more powerful the gun, the harder the hop-up bucking should be. The table below shows the Taiwanese manufacturer’s own recommendations for bucking suitability in different power classes.
| Hardness and color |
Recommended power range |
| 50 – green |
Below 110 m/s (1.2 J) |
| 60 – yellow |
90-120 m/s (0.8-1.5 J) |
| 70 – blue |
110-140 m/s (1.2-2 J) |
| 80 – red |
140+ m/s (over 1.8 J) |
