ML GBB / VSR Silicone Hop-up Bucking DECEPTICONS Gen1, 50 Shore – Green

Premium Hop-up Buckings by Maple Leaf
Hop-up bucking, along with a precision inner barrel, a chamber pressure system, and high-quality BBs, is one of the most crucial components affecting your weapon’s accuracy and range. If you want to shoot farther and more accurately, you don’t need to excessively increase muzzle velocity. It’s like adding gas to a car without a steering wheel. Finding the right setup is an art, and everyone has their own formula that works best for them.Hop-up buckings are available in various models, each designed for a specific type of inner barrel (AEG/HPA, GBB/VSR, Hybrid), muzzle velocity (shore hardness), outdoor temperature (classic and silicone buckings), and most importantly, their purpose (range or accuracy).The longer and wider the contact surface with the bucking, the greater the range you can achieve, though this might come at the expense of accuracy compared to using buckings with an arrow/diamond-shaped patch. These buckings offer better initial contact across the BB width, transitioning to an arrow point to guide the BB, improving accuracy and grouping. However, they might not impart as much spin for greater distances as wider patches.To help you choose, below is a breakdown of different bucking types, making your selection easier. Ultimately, finding the right one is a personal journey.

Classification of GBB/VSR Hop-up Buckings by Maple Leaf

DECEPTICONS (DELTA)The patch has a diamond shape, making this bucking ideal for achieving higher accuracy. The first model, called MONSTER DELTA, was available only in durable black. The DECEPTICONS models are now color-coded by hardness for easier identification. In 2023, this model was upgraded for better sealing. It is also available in a silicone version, suitable for cold weather.
AUTOBOT (DIAMOND)The patch has a delta-arrow shape, making this bucking ideal for achieving greater range. This is an improved version of the original MONSTER DIAMOND, which was available only in durable black. Like DECEPTICONS (accuracy), the A..
