It's a company that makes awesome replicas for the money. (In my opinion) I have two combat machines and I love them. Very consistent, shoot around 347 every shot. That's usable indoor and outdoor.

ALSO! Wht I engagement distance? I have sorta understanding of it... Is that the max distance you can fire at them from? MED is minimum engagement distance, which marks the closest distance you are allowed to shoot at someone. This is determined by the FPS that your gun shoots. Maximum effective range is the maximum distance that your particular gun can repeatedly shoot a man sized target. This is an arguable distance, since effectively shooting someone is defined differently depending on who you talk to. Some may say every BB has to hit the target, some may be happy with just a few. I tend to lean towards 60-70% or better, when I'm determining my range. The biggest factors in this consistency is efficient compression that is repeatable from shot to shot, a good quality barrel with little internal variance, and a decent hop up that applies a consistent hop from shot to shot.

Alright thanks for clearing that up, but what Hop up?

Alright thanks for clearing that up, but what Hop up? OK, so I'm going to be lazy here and just paste in the first you tube video I found that explains this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XfF9itDss0&feature=youtube_gdata_playerUsually the standard answer here would be to tell you do do a simple google search and/or read our stickies here before asking some of the simplest of airsoft questions, but I'm feeling generous tonight...but only slightly.

Oh, So it changes the levelness of the BB by putting spin on it? Also with that it changes the distance? is that correct?

Oh, So it changes the levelness of the BB by putting spin on it? Also with that it changes the distance? is that correct? It puts backspin on the BB. Via a theory in fluid dynamics called the boundary layer that drags air downward behind the bb causing the bb to move up (you know, equal and opposite forces?). This effect sacrifices forward velocity for lift. The end result is the bb going farther. Problem is that you have to be carful not to apply too much backspin otherwise you get a trajectory which is too parabolic aka your bb doesn't fly straight. It instead rockets into outer space. What happens then is if you aim at a guy at medium range, your shots will fly over him. The ideal hop up setting is to create a very slight lift that matches the downward acceleration of gravity so that your shot goes straight. Some people, such as myself, will go a little extra and compensate for the arc. Hop up will always increase the range of your BB, but there is a downside. Since hop up physically touches the BB any variation in that interaction will cause big changes in where the BB lands. If the backspin is even slightly off center the BB will pull to one side or the other. If the hop up is of low quality it may move with the BB causing each shot to have slightly different spin. Again the slightest change at the beginning of a shot magnifies the further you are shooting. The key to accuracy is consistency. That being said pretty much every AEG has Hop Up and in almost all cases it's worth using. Sent from my XT1080 using proboards

I'm going to simplify what X said. Think of putting your finger into a stream of water coming from a faucet. If you slowly put your finger into the stream, the water will bend around your finger back towards you. The hop-up in an airsoft gun works with the same concept. The rubber price that sticks down into the barrel is like your finger. The bb is like the water. The farther the rubber piece is extended into the barrel, the bigger the "bend" produced on the bb. Hope this cleared some questions up.

I did manage to look at the video someone posted, that made me have a better understanding of it, it adds backspin as far as I could tell.
