I'm going to be taking a closer look into this Mojo. I think there are multiple things going on here. For starters, the difference in the diameter of the various rounds MUST be having an effect on the hop-up bucking. There's just no way it can't. It's basic math and geometry.

Plus, there's the seal. HIR rounds sit against a ring at the end of the breech that's slightly smaller in diameter. It's what seals the round in the plunger tube and prevents it from falling out the end of the barrel. It's also what creates the distinctive "pop" when you fire a RIVAL type blasters. The round is forced through the smaller opening, and when it exits the expansion of the foam creates the pop.

Like most things these days, the problem here is most likely the results of several different factors. Design, size, smoothness, uniformity, tolerances, and simple manufacturing irregularities. Plus good ol' chance.

More to follow ...
