El Bridos 5.95 emphasize that joints hop-ups are crucial for maximizing the range and accuracy of an airsoft replica by imparting backspin on BBs, and while performance relies on the entire hop-up setup, including the nub and barrel, most aftermarket options offer improvements over stock ones. These aftermarket joints generally fall into three categories: standard/bucking joints, fancy patch joints, and Airops type patch joints.
