Standard round nubs in airsoft guns do not work optimally with Maple Leaf’s new hop-up buckings featuring an extended contact patch, as the point-shaped nub bends the contact area of the bucking into a curve. This prevents full benefit from the long contact surface of the autobot hop and may cause the bucking to deform into an unintended position. We recommend using this bucking with a Maple Leaf curved nub or curved adjustment arm for best performance. With GBB pistols, it is advisable 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 serve as a guideline when selecting a suitable bucking for your 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 across different power levels.
| 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) |
