Electronic hop-up systems, on the other hand, use an electric motor to control the amount of backspin applied to the BB. These systems are found in higher-end airsoft guns and offer more precise control over the amount of backspin. They also often include a battery and display, making it easier to adjust the hop-up in real-time. [2]

With tangent sights, the rear sight is often used to adjust the elevation, and the front the windage. The M16A2 later M16 series rifles have a dial adjustable range calibrated rear sight, and use an elevation adjustable front sight to "zero" the rifle at a given range. The rear sight is used for windage adjustment and to change the zero range.
BB pistol with CO 2 cartridges and BBs. A BB gun is a type of air gun designed to shoot metallic spherical projectiles called BBs (not to be confused with similar-looking bearing balls), which are approximately the same size as BB-size lead birdshot used in shotguns (0.180 in or 4.6 mm in diameter).
Target shooting diopter of a 10 metre air rifle with a mounted semi-transparent occluder for the non-aiming eye. A diopter sight is an aperture sight component used to assist the aiming of ranged weapons, mainly firearms, airguns, and crossbows. Diopters function to precisely align the shooter's eye with the front sight and the target, while ...

In ranged weapons such as firearms and artillery pieces, the act of sighting in or sight-in is a preparatory or corrective calibration of the sights with the goal of having the projectile (e.g. bullet or shell) placed on a predictable impact position in relation to the sight picture.
Similarly, an adjustment click on a scope with 0.2 mrad adjustment will move the point of bullet impact 2 cm at 100 m and 4 cm at 200 m, etc. When using a scope with both mrad adjustment and a reticle with mrad markings (called a mrad/mrad scope), the shooter can spot his own bullet impact and easily correct the sight if needed.
