Hardness or type is especially important for airsoft internals like hop-up buckings and nubs, as it affects performance characteristics such as grip, range, and consistency. Softer materials generally provide better air seal and are ideal for lower FPS setups, while harder types are preferred for higher FPS and heavier BBs. For example, the Maple Leaf AST Macaron Airsoft AEG Hop Up Rubber Bucking 60 Degree is a 60-degree bucking, ideal for AEGs under 330 FPS, offering a balance of durability and performance. The Firefly Namazu Red Flat Hop Nub w/ Roller Bar is a hard type, suitable for setups requiring more consistent hop with heavier BBs. With multiple hardness types available, you can select the one that best suits your gun’s power and your play style.
