Small part, big accuracy gains

The Maple Leaf AEG Hop Tensioner, better known as the Omega Nub, is one of the most popular low-cost upgrades in airsoft tuning. It replaces the standard nub in your hop-up unit and works with your bucking to apply the pressure that puts backspin on the BB, the key to flat, long-range shots.

Even pressure, consistent hop

Where a basic flat nub presses on a single line, the Omega’s concave contact surface spreads pressure evenly across the bucking. The result is a more consistent hop, tighter groupings and better effective range, exactly what you want when you are reaching out across the field.

Firm rubber, easy fit

Made from firm rubber with a small external profile, the Solid Edition Omega drops into most AEG hop units without modification and pairs perfectly with the full Maple Leaf bucking range, including Autobot, Decepticon, Diamond and Macaron.

Frequently asked questions

What does an Omega nub actually do?

It sits above the hop-up bucking and presses it down onto the BB. The concave shape spreads that pressure evenly, producing more consistent backspin for better range and accuracy.

Will it fit my AEG hop-up unit?

The Omega has a small external profile that fits most standard AEG hop units, and it usually drops in without any modification.

Do I need Maple Leaf buckings to use it?

It is designed to work with the full Maple Leaf bucking range for best results, but it will improve pressure distribution in many standard setups too.

Why choose the concave nub over a flat one?

The concave contact surface applies pressure across the bucking rather than a single point, which gives a more even hop and tighter, more repeatable groupings.

Is this the solid or hollow version?

This is the Solid Edition Omega nub, a firm rubber tensioner favoured for its consistent, positive hop pressure.
