hi guys , i was recently in kilkenny and i purchased a desert eagle apring airsoft pistol in kilkenny , it says on the box that there is adjustable hop up and when i fire the gun it goes for about 20 feet and then drops but when i fire it on the side it goes much further , the make it says on the box is jun ming and it came with a flashlight and an electric scope , can anyone tell me how to adjust the hop up?
thanks

It sounds like one of the cheapsoft chinese guns and its not uncommon for those to have "adjustable hopup" on the but they usually don.t have. You wont get much from it in terms of performance and they usually break very easily.

How much did ya pay for it and was it an actual airsoft shop you bought it from?

i bought it from a car boot sale for 20 euro

Take apart the slide and look down the barrel. On mine there is a little rubber ball that acts as hopup there should be a screw to adjust it. If its not there then you got a bad deal but for 20 euro its not bad, you can mess around the house doing CQB without breaking or damaging anything. Thats what i do anyway with cheap spring pistols i got for CQB training.

thanks i hav taken the slide off and i can see a few screws but i am going to wait until i get home to fully take it apart , thanks for that

No Prob the screw should be right over the barrel.
Hope you get it
