Prometheus 50° Air Seal Hop-Up Bucking for AEGs – Enhanced Accuracy & Air Seal Performance
Take your AEG’s performance to the next level with the Prometheus Air Seal Chamber Hop-Up Bucking (50 Degrees)—one of the most trusted internal upgrades in the airsoft world. Manufactured by Prometheus, a division of the legendary Laylax brand in Japan, this high-quality hop-up bucking delivers precision, consistency, and enhanced range for serious airsoft players.
Whether you’re a competitive player, milsim enthusiast, or weekend warrior, upgrading your bucking is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your rifle’s performance. The 50° Prometheus bucking strikes the perfect balance between grip and flexibility, providing consistent hop and improved accuracy with a wide range of BB weights.
Why Upgrade to Prometheus?
OEM hop-up buckings are often made from low-grade rubber, wearing out quickly and offering poor air seal. The Prometheus 50° hop-up bucking features a premium rubber compound with precisely engineered internal ridges that improve compression, feeding reliability, and hop consistency.
This results in:
- 
Improved accuracy and tighter groupings 
- 
Better range and BB flight stability 
- 
Increased gas efficiency due to tighter air seal 
- 
Reliable feeding with mid-cap and high-cap magazines 
Optimized for Tight Bore Barrels
This bucking is recommended for use with Prometheus precision inner barrels, but is also fully compatible with other AEG barrels that feature a standard hop-up window. Pairing this bucking with a tight bore barrel maximizes compression and minimizes air loss, ensuring consistent performance with every shot.
Whether you’re running a 6.03mm or 6.01mm barrel, this bucking will help you get the most out of your AEG’s potential.

Ideal Environments & BB Pairing
This 50-degree bucking is ideal for moderate climates and indoor/outdoor fields, offering excellent hop performance with mid-weight BBs. However, environmental conditions can affect rubber stiffness and BB flight. For best results:
- 
Use 0.25g–0.30g BBs depending on your FPS and engagement distance 
- 
Avoid heavy silicone oil on the inside of the bucking 
- 
Replace your bucking every 20,000 rounds or when performance begins to degrade 
🔧 Pro Tip: Lightly lubricate the outside of the bucking with pure silicone spray to make installation smoother, but avoid getting lubricant inside the hop chamber or barrel.
