Because it's the hop rubber that actually prevents the BB from rolling out the barrel after the air nozzle pushes it into the barrel.

Also, nineball is laylax/prometheus, so I'm not surprised if they're slightly better than PDI. PDI and laylax are back and forth at being the best.
I totally forgot nineball made hop rubbers -_-

Turned off, its supposed to roll out. Sometimes the pressure or force from he loading nozzle is just enough to slightly push the bb out of the rubber and down the barrel. If you are having issues with the hop-up on and still having bb's roll out that is an issue with the adjustment arm.

Laylax FTW.

Thank you all for advise. I'm not looking to build an airsoft IPSC gun, the goal is to have a training tool that approximates my RS production pistol and allows me to have a meaningful practice.

I sourced whatever was available locally, and am perfectly happy with the upgrade I got for under $60, just need to sort out a few small things.

Thanks again.
