XT nub too short

[Speedy Sloth]

Fielded my l96 with a 70° MR hop and the XT 80° nub, on maximum hop it can just about get a .45 to 70 metres.(Rifle was also shooting a hair below 1.6j as the spring seems to have worn in dramatically)

 

The BB didn't have any "lift/jump" at the end of the flight path but did fly pretty level the whole way.

 

Can't complain about consistency it hit every shot on target at the 60m mark without fail. Just can't go beyond it much.

 

Has anyone else had issues with the nub not applying enough hop?

 

Wondering if a ML omega nub might be able to apply more as from the pics I've seen it looks taller?

 

Going to order a new spring but wondering if a new nub might be in order.

@ak2m4 do you know if the XT nub is a different size to the omega nub?

Wall, thar's yar problem.

 

Airsoft isn't actually magic, so you'll want to get at close to your site's energy unit as possible, and sort the hop. If a clean hop bucking can't lift 0.45g, then a sliver of rubber / tape / whatever thin thing you have to hand can add as much pressure as you need.

It's a smidge shorter, something like 0.2mm.  Very unlikely to be the issue but worth trying different combinations. Try an official ML nub, plus I also got some new nubs recently.

You have a L96 right?  What does the hop look like?

May have been a tad optimistic was hoping for about 70m of effective range, given the slow FPS due to the BB weight I would assume it would be also not be generating enough backspin to get that end flick and drop.

I'm using the airsoftpro gen 3. Which whilst being a pain to setup has worked reasonably well.

 

Interesting you have some new nubs and thanks for the size confirmation.

 

Got to order some new M4 parts in the near future from you so may order a spare nub to compare.

 

Edit: thanks for the help everyone
