Modify X-Range Hop Up Bucking for VSR-10/GBB 70°

X-Ranges, and how they affect your accuracy and shooting range

The X-Range design was inspired by the R-hop, with the goal of maximising contact with BBs when the bucking is depressed. This increases friction to produce topspin as well as air seal inside the barrel to achieve maximum range.

Key Features:

• The X-Range is bell or cup-shaped with the wider end facing the loading nozzle.
• With a 2-stage channel, the X-Range’s bell configuration is shallow to deep. BBs are loaded into the shallow, narrow end to move to the mid-section where it is deeper and wider. Such channel configuration assures perfect BB positioning to also produce topspin to result in an accurate trajectory. The shallow channel end of the loading nozzle widens when the bucking is depressed, increasing contact, and friction with BBs. The bell opening has “wings” on either side to form a bridge to the inner barrel window, being a solid, wide structure at the inner barrel entry to hold BBs that also prevents the rear section of the depressor from deforming. Friction against BBs drops dramatically when moved by air from the shallow to the deeper channel section, with BBs pushed straight along the channel by air to the bottom of the bell to enter the inner barrel with continuing topspin.
• The X-Range is made of silicone material to be especially tough, and resistant to wear, and extreme temperatures, which reduces deterioration of the bucking. Even when using GBB, the X-Range keeps the hop-up working at low temperatures.
• ***The X-Range works best with the inner barrel opening at the dimensions below***

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
