Fixed Hop-Up

A device for giving the bullet backward rotation, which straighten ballistic curve and increases the range is called Hop-Up. Weapons with a fixed variant are factory set, with no possibility of control. The pressure is therefore permanently set and can not be changed by the user. When using a weapon with a fixed Hop-up it is necessary to respect the recommended weight of ammunition. With lower weight of BBs permits longer range weapon (hop-up allows the bullet due to the lower weight more rise), but on the contrary, lower accuracy. On the other side, heavier BBs are advantageous when the need for better accuracy, but the range will be shorter.

Adjustable Hop-Up

A device for giving the bullet backward rotation which straighten ballistic curve and increases the range is called Hop-Up. Weapons with adjustable Hop-Up allow continuous pressure adjusted by the user, so it is very easy and comfortable to achieve optimal Hop-Up effects and using different types of BBs (various weights and manufacturer). If you prefer a higher shooting accuracy for shorter distances, so we recommend using a higher weight BBs. If you require a higher initial muzzle velocity or want to shoot more cheaply, so choose lower weight. It should be understood that a higher initial velocity does not automatically mean a longer range. Weapons with high performance reach a longer range, using heavier of BBs.

Lowcap

Magazines with a basic capacitance, BBs are filled to the magazine from top and during firing are loaded by compression spring. The advantages lie in the realistic capacity and produces no noise.

Midcap

compression magazines with extended capacity (ie. double row) beads fills the top opening in the reservoir and during firing are served by compression spring. The advantages lie in a higher capacity and no noise. Greater capacity, compared to low-cap magazine redeemed on less reliability in the loading.

Hicap

cartridges with high capacity, BBs are filled through flip window on top of the mag and during firing are loaded by "mill", which is driven by a leaf spring. The benefits are high capacity, reliable feeding. Disadvantages typical BBs rattle.

Xhicap

magazines with extremely high capacity mostly intended for machine guns. Magazine may be manually or electrically loaded. The BBs are filled through the opening window and while shooting are loaded by "mill", which is driven by a leaf spring. The benefits are high capacity and good looks. Disadvantages are typical rattling balls and lower reliability in gun loading (mainly for models with bovden cable).

Green Gas

most common name for the gas to drive a gas airsoft guns of the most manufacturers. The composition of the propellant mixtures based on propane with oil. This gas is represented in our offer as Ultrair Power and Predator Ultra Gas.

HFC134/HFC144

name for the gas to drive a gas airsoft guns of Japanese manufacturers (Tokyo Marui, Western Arms, Tanaka, KSC and others). We offer this propellant under the name Predator 144a.

GAS

Gas - propellant force most commonly used for airsoft gas guns. Propellants are divided according to content in HFC 134/144a (designated to weapons of Japanese producers) and the most common type GreenGas, which is intended to arms of other manufacturers (metal slide).

NBB

Non Blow Back (without moving cocking handle). For these imitations of weapons is not the movement when shooting. The advantage over the system EBB is usually higher reliability and durability of the product, since the internal mechanism is not burdened with extra force needed to moving the cocking handle. Another advantage is the lower noise level.

EBB

Electric Blow Back (imitation weapon with moving cocking handle). These weapons have a built-in mechanism imitation motion cocking handle while the shooting. The advantage over the system NBB is greater realism and more faithful imitation of functions of real firearms. The disadvantage is generally lower reliability and durability of the product, since the internal mechanism is additionally burdened with a force necessary to moving the cocking handle. Another disadvantage is the higher noisiness.

MARPAT

MARPAT (short for MARine PATtern) is a digital camouflage pattern in use with the United States Marine Corps. The pattern is formed of small rectangular pixels of color. In theory, it is a far more effective camouflage than standard uniform patterns because it mimics the dappled textures and rough boundaries found in natural settings. It is also known as the "digital pattern" or "digi-cammies" because of its micropattern (pixels) rather than the old macropattern (big blobs).

MARPAT was also chosen because it distinctively identifies its wearers as Marines to their adversaries, while simultaneously helping its wearers remain concealed.

Rip-stop

Ripstop is woven fabrics, often made of nylon, using a special reinforcing technique that makes them resistant to tearing and ripping.

Advantages of ripstop are the favourable strength-to-weight ratio and that small tears can not easily spread. Fibers used to make ripstop include cotton, silk, polyester, and polypropylene, with nylon content limited to the crosshatched threads that make it tear-resistant.

MultiCam

MultiCam has background colors of a brown to light-tan gradient and lime green blending in between, the main part consists of green to yellowish green gradient and finally dark brown and light pinkish blotches spread throughout the pattern. This allows for the overall appearance to change from greenish to brownish in different areas of the fabric, while having smaller blotches to break up the bigger background areas.

A-TACS

A-TACS pattern use organic pixels in the micro patterns are grouped into larger, more defined “macro” shapes creating larger more defined patterns. The larger organic shapes and strategically placed shadow elements within the macro pattern help to create a unique three-dimensional effect when viewed from a distance.

A-TACS FG (Foliage/Green) Camo utilizes numerous shades of green sampled directly from a variety of forested and transitional terrain elements combined with various shades of earth, A-TACS FG Camo was developed to be effective in a wide range of temperate environments.

A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) Camo utilizes numerous shades of tan sampled directly from a variety of arid and urban environments combined with various shades of earth and small amounts of green, A-TACS AU Camo is designed to be effective in a wide range of arid environments. This pattern was the first to utilize a process where organic pixels in the micro patterns are grouped into larger, more defined “macro” shapes creating larger more defined patterns designed to be viewed from a distance.

Woodland

Woodland Pattern was the default camouflage pattern issued to United States soldiers, Marines, airmen, and sailors from 1981, with the issue of the Battle Dress Uniform, until its replacement around 2006. It is a four color, high contrast disruptive pattern with irregular markings in sand, brown, green and black.
