Yeah. This.
I had a stock marui P90, put in a guarder clear and that was it, shot around 170ft, grouping wasn't too good, but it got them out there lol

Anyway this is really the bottom line of this test.
1) starting with already GOOD guns, that shoot far and accurate, and comparing THOSE against R-hop
2) having MULTIPLE people do the same test, to average out any differences in personal skill, personal bias, and extreme examples.

That second bit is really the most critical part. It's difficult to take any one person seriously, no matter how accurate they say their results are. Are they a good gunsmith to begin with? Did they match FPS to BB weight? Is the mechbox achieving maximum seal? Are they using a JG M4 or a marui M14 as a test bed? Did they install the R-hop properly?

So multiple makes and models of guns, already shooting what's considered to be "good", compared directly against itself with an R-hop.
Hopefully we get a broad enough range to make observations like R-hops work better in ___ style hop chamber, or on average most guns perform better, or maybe it doesn't make a big difference in an M14.

And as an added bonus, we'll also get some solid data on how AEG's are shooting! I really want to know the exact, exact numbers on my guns, especially my PTW lol
ahhhh I wanna go do some shooting now O_O
