AWP Monster DIAMOND Bucking by Maple Leaf
The hop-up bucking is, alongside a precision inner barrel, hop-up chamber system, and high-quality BBs, one of the most critical elements affecting the accuracy and range of your weapon. If you want to shoot further and more accurately, there’s no 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 preferred formula.The bump is shaped as a Delta arrow with a diamond transition, making this bucking designed for achieving greater range. It’s an improved version of the original MONSTER bucking. The AWP / L96 version does not include a collar or side grooves like standard GBB and VSR buckings.

Warnings
The recommended muzzle velocity is provided for the specified BB weight, so if using 0.36g BBs, the recommended muzzle velocity is measured with those.
The suggested BB weight and muzzle velocity are purely indicative and should be tested individually for each setup to achieve the best possible performance.
Recommendations
Place the bucking onto the barrel precisely over the hop-up window, ensuring even installation using the guiding groove at the bottom of the barrel.
Before inserting into the chamber, lightly lubricate the outer surface of the bucking with silicone oil suitable for rubber materials. Never lubricate the inner surface of the bucking.
Do not force the barrel and bucking into the chamber.
Before installing into the weapon, ensure that the BB passes through the inner barrel smoothly.
Check the centering of the hop-up bump in the chamber to ensure proper functionality (accuracy). Misalignment can cause BBs to curve during flight.
The bucking needs a “break-in” period. It is re..
