M16 Hopup Problem

Dec 20, 2005 8:24pm
Hey guys, I have a TM M16A2 thats about a year old and ive noticed some problems with it. The hopup DOES NOT WORK. Let me go into detail...THERE IS NONE! It seems like when I fire the gun it goes about 20 yards, on a M120 spring and bushings, and drops like a brick. With the hopup turned all the way up, I can push it to 22 yards. I am talking ALL the way up. I have replaced the sleeve with a Systema V2 bucking, but that did not seem to do ANYTHING. So I am asking you, you great sacairsofters :) to help me with this. Should I just buy a new hopup?? Or go for an all metal one that usually comes with a HurricanE metal body?

did you make sure you barrel was in the correct way, because if its upsidown it wont do squat. otherwise, might as well upgrade to an all metal

can you clarify? which side is the "groove" for the hopup suposed to be on? top or bottom?

you should see a bump come down when you adjust your hop up (while looking through the barrel).

In close range combat, an unsuspecting melon will get the back of its melon blown off.

Glad you got it all worked out. Good luck with the metal body :)
