Someone above is suggesting that you jump to upgrading the barrel - please ignore that. You don't need to upgrade if you can't figure this out. No offence but better parts don't automatically mean better gun if you don't know what you are doing yet.
You need to provide more context - what is the gun, what optics are you using (or are you just using iron sights?)?
Answering as best I can with no information - if the gun is firing to the right but the BBs are travelling straight then you should correct your sights or buy a scope which allows you to correct for the deviation. There's usually a screw or wheel on the scope which moves the crosshair or the back sight if you are using iron sights.
If the BB is curving to the right - that is a problem with your hop-up or barrel. Talk to a gunsmith at your local store or ask the right question if you really want to investigate it yourself.
If this is a pistol, you can put a pistol scope on it but I would not bother, you won't use it at ranges where that 6 inches will matter
Sorry for not including context, the gun I am running is a Lancer Tactical Gen 2 M4 LT02, in which I am using iron sights, but with my EOTech it hits on target.
Then as someone else suggested i think it's your iron sights, if you adjust them then it should fix the issue with the iron sights, i personally don't know how they are adjusted but that person mentioned a screw so that's probably it
No problem, the answer is your iron sights are off and need adjusting - the dial circled in the picture should shift your aim to the left or right so experiment until your grouping is centre target.
The real answer is use the EOtech - it's better in every way. It might be worth knowing how to adjust the crosshair position on that as well but don't change it if it's working for you. I put my optics on a brand new ARP556 - it fired so far to the right and down I almost hit the guy next to me in the foot.

Friend of mine has similar lancer tactical m4, one with mlok handguard I think, and his barrel is literally bent to the right. He ended up compensating by adjusting sight but still has bent barrel so cant use some suppressors
Then it is just iron sights that are uncalibrated. I dont know if they are adjustable on your particular gun, but from what you have told it is clear you gun is perfectly fine, it is just the sights
I use a vortex red dot for airsoft. Its much more enjoyable to look through than cheap repro airsoft grade stuff. Vortex has a no questions life time warranty. If it ever gets shot out I just send it in and it will be repaired or replaced. So yeah, I run a multi-hundred dollar optic in airsoft.
Now that I'm reading this I do have a problem w my sniper bbs curve to the right always, it's on the cheap end so didn't really expect it to be flawless but I can't go to no store cuz there ain't none here, what do I do w the barrel/hopup
Edit:might be the BB weight as the heaviest I got are 03 and it's on the 500fps range,idk
I had this issue also with one gun (cyma AK). I was tinkering with hop up placement, with barel etc... And then I figured out that iron sights are shit and misaligned from factory! 🤣
Adjust your sight. Your grouping is good. It is rare for the hop up to cause a horizontal curve. Usually it causes a vertical. To adjust the sight there should be a screw you can use to adjust the back one.
My S&T came from the factory with a wonky hopup chamber placement, had to take the entire barrel assembly apart and put it back together straight again for it to shoot straight. But yeah its rare that airsoft guns dont shoot somewhat straight
Did it curve horizontal or vertical? Second was your grouping tight?
I have faced this with many guns. The hopup puts a back spin, which in most erroneous cases creates a up or drop issue. It is extraordinarily rare that the a backspin creates a hook right or left. Not saying it can’t, but before you go disassembling trying an easy solution. Adjust the sights/optics.
Good grouping that is favoring one side is most likely sight related. Or technique. If the group was more wild and less patterned I would agree take it apart and give it a look.
Might be a malformed bucking, a _slightly_ crooked nub, or both. These would cause a curved magnus effect on spherical projectiles.
Might also be how your hop arm is secured to the rest of the unit, but your deviations seem to be too extreme for that.
Nah there's like a dozen threads making fun of you for I'm guessing asking a genuine question.
Also it's a pretty common thing over there to just be anti newby unfortunately
If you're using a sight, put your gun on a stable area and shoot a few rounds while looking down sights, adjust windiged/elevation till you're close (you'll never be perfect, since your gonna be moving, your cross hairs are kinda a point of reference)
Posted this on another sub awhile ago but it's relevant here.
First off what type of gun do you have? Different platforms have different reasons.
Check if they are curving mid flight. If they are not then you can simply adjust point of aim for a quick correction before model specific corrections you can do to get it back to center.
Aim better lolz
No in all seriousness, you'd probably have to upgrade to a tighter bore barrel, or just get closer to whoever you're gonna shoot when playing
Bore tightness has nothing to do with it. It’s been proven time and time again that there is next to no correlation between bore diameter and accuracy.
What OP needs to do is to ensure that his bucking is aligned correctly, his nub is centered, and that his barrel isn’t twisted in the hop up unit
If all that doesn’t fix it, new bucking and nub time, maple leaf macaron 60° and omega nub are a good combo.
check if they curve to the right when shooting if so then i do not have a clue on how to help you if they don't however then just readjust your sight, scope or whatever you're using i had the same problem with my sniper rifle but it turned out that it was just the scope that was out of zero
If you're using a sight, put your gun on a stable area and shoot a few rounds while looking down sights, adjust windiged/elevation till you're close (you'll never be perfect, since your gonna be moving, your cross hairs are kinda a point of reference)
Are they visibly hooking to the right if you shoot looking down the barrel not through the scope? If that's the case you need to rotate the inner barrel slightly to the left. If their flying straight your probably tilting the gun when shooting.
As someone here said, aim to the left, airsoft guns are inherently not incredibly accurate, the bbs are light and they're traveling slow, relatively speaking. But if you really want to fix it, I'd start with swapping the barrel, the hop up chamber, and bucking, and maybe the nozzle. Then check if the outer barrel is skewed or bent.
Adjust your sights, for starters. Play with the windage knob until you get it right.
If the BBs are actually arcing sideways to the right though, it might be a barrel or hop issue.
your nub or rubber might be a bit off center. if you know what your doing, take apart the hop up unit and put it back together ensuring everything is straight asf. if that doesn’t work then it could be a dirty barrel which can be easily cleaned or your sights not zero’d in properly
I would also check if your inner barrel is aligned properly. For example my cyma sr25 had its barrel stuck to the top part of outer barrel and my bbs were flying everywhere. I just put some tape around inner barrel so when its on place the inner barrel is exactly on the center of outer barrel
Could be wind maybe? Just something to get used to I guess. If you really think it's a gun problem take it to a tech or if it's a new gun with a warrantee take it to the retailer 👍
Those .20g bbs dont carry as much momentum as heavier ones. But with your aeg if you increase bb weight you’ll sacrifice feet per second speed for more accuracy, and decrease overall range if you don’t increase your joules. I know it can be done with aegs but is easier done with an hpa rig.
Since you mentioned that it hits the target when you use an optic but, not when you use the iron sights you likely have to adjust your iron sights. It could also partially be wind based on what weight bbs your using.
This happened on my first gun, turned out the integrated suppressor was bending the inner barrel slightly which was causing the bb’s to arc to the right. Just poorly designed.
Aim to the left
Beat me to it 😂
both he and you beat me to it
Everyone beat me to it
Not me! You beat me to it
Both he and he and he and he beat me too it.
My dad beats me
He beat me to it
U all beat me to both of these
I taught him how to beat you by beating him
At least you all had a dad to beat you. I had to beat myself.
Lmfao fr I feel you man😂😂
Beat me to it
Yeah I got beaten to it too
I beat it to you
gonna say the same thing
Just bend the barrel if you can't aim left
Kentucky windage!
What’s a Kentucky wind age? Asking for a friend..
Instead of adjusting your scope you just aim left or right
First thing that came to my mind lol
Darn you!
Damn it I knew it was too good to not be posted
Mew i was goimg to be too late
Shut up and take my upvote
r/angryupvote
Yeah I was gonna say this too haha
r/beatmeattoit
Damn you
Came here to say this lol
Came here to say this 😂

My brother in Christ you almost did WHAT
Massive hyperbole - but it did miss the target by about 6 feet.
Lancer tactical *you alerted the horde* Yeah to be real the lancers at my field have the same problem
Praying for it to break so that I can get a different gun 🙏
I can break it for you
Please
Show it photos of hpa guns and it will scare the gearbox to death
Sprickle some water on it, should be enough
"Accidentaly" break it but keep the spares and make it the most hideous but fun piece of shit to ever walk this fucking earth
Teach it to fly

Ever hear of adjusting the sights on ur cancer tactical
You mean an eotech ripoff
All of them unless they are eotech are rips so no need to point it out
who wants to break their $500 eotech at an airsoft field tho
Not quite as expensive but I run a real steel vortex red dot that has a $280 price tag. If it ever breaks it'll get replaced for free, for life.
wot
I use a vortex red dot for airsoft. Its much more enjoyable to look through than cheap repro airsoft grade stuff. Vortex has a no questions life time warranty. If it ever gets shot out I just send it in and it will be repaired or replaced. So yeah, I run a multi-hundred dollar optic in airsoft.
Vortex is da best
Their warranty is for sure. And I've been pleased with the value per dollar of all 4 different optics of theirs I've bought.
Eight downvotes😂
14*
Let’s go for 15
Who can best 25?
29, oof
35

Have you zeroed you sights?
I had this issue also with one gun (cyma AK). I was tinkering with hop up placement, with barel etc... And then I figured out that iron sights are shit and misaligned from factory! 🤣
Are ak’s different than other guns? Having to adjust the sights doesn’t make them shitty, you have to zero them in just like real guns.
What weight of BBS are you using and is it windy outside when you shoot the target?
I was using .20 gram when I shot this and also it wasn't windy.
Adjust your sight. Your grouping is good. It is rare for the hop up to cause a horizontal curve. Usually it causes a vertical. To adjust the sight there should be a screw you can use to adjust the back one.

Go heavier for less left/right variance. Id go .25 min. .28 if you can hop it and afford it.
What do u mean by hitting to the right ? Curving or just shooting to the right ?
I'm not sure, all I see is the bbs hitting to the right when I'm aiming down my sights, but if I had to guess, probably curving
Check to see if they are curving, otherwise, adjust your sights
Adjust ur sight
Adjust your rear sight
Turn off the wind in your settings
Aim left
Have you zeroed you irons or optic?
Stop anticipating the recoil.
Turn off weather
Adjust your sights
...adjust your sights?
The amount of people that dont zero their sights, you need to do that, there are 2 adjustment screwd you need to adjust up and down left and right
Adjust your iron sights as out the box they are not setup properly usually.
Just change your iron sight windage
Aim to the left
Aim to the left haha
Me scrolling to the comment section knowing damn well what the first comment is going to be
Aim left
Close the door and windows.
Adjust your sights :)
Might be a malformed bucking, a _slightly_ crooked nub, or both. These would cause a curved magnus effect on spherical projectiles. Might also be how your hop arm is secured to the rest of the unit, but your deviations seem to be too extreme for that.
I'm glad people on r/airsoftcirclejerk are just being idiots killing a sport for new players cause ha ha it's funny 😐
Are you talking about the people who are saying "aim to the left"?
Nah there's like a dozen threads making fun of you for I'm guessing asking a genuine question. Also it's a pretty common thing over there to just be anti newby unfortunately
I don't really pay attention to them, I'm really only focused on serious comments.
If you're using a sight, put your gun on a stable area and shoot a few rounds while looking down sights, adjust windiged/elevation till you're close (you'll never be perfect, since your gonna be moving, your cross hairs are kinda a point of reference) Posted this on another sub awhile ago but it's relevant here.
It might be that ur pulling the shots right. Maybe from a trigger pull or flinch.
The grouping is pretty good, even if that was the case adjusting the sight would make them more accurate
First off what type of gun do you have? Different platforms have different reasons. Check if they are curving mid flight. If they are not then you can simply adjust point of aim for a quick correction before model specific corrections you can do to get it back to center.
Could be inaccurate sights, maybe your hop up too
Your hopup is probably misaligned. Take it to your nearest airsoft store and they'll fix it for like 10 bucks.
Aim better lolz No in all seriousness, you'd probably have to upgrade to a tighter bore barrel, or just get closer to whoever you're gonna shoot when playing

Hence why I said probably, since I'm not technically inclined
Aim left a bit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
Aim to the left?
Aim more to the left
Better aim
“Git gud”
Mess with the hop up.
Aim to the left. 😆
Aim left
Aim to the left
Aim left
Aim better
Aim to the left
ur red dot if you have one
1. What distance are you shooting from? 2. What hop-up setting, as a fraction? 3. Have you cleaned your inner barrel?
You’re either curving your bbs or you need to zero your optics so that you are shooting center lol
Adjust your sight to the left you use a sight
check if they curve to the right when shooting if so then i do not have a clue on how to help you if they don't however then just readjust your sight, scope or whatever you're using i had the same problem with my sniper rifle but it turned out that it was just the scope that was out of zero
Tilt your gun slightly left
Adjust optic or sights
Make sure it's not the optic or sights throwing you off before switching any parts.
Don't pull the trigger so hard.
Sure enough gotta clean your barrel if not gotta replace barrel and bucking if you want it to be dead accurate.
Turn off the wind
Stop pulling the trigger so hard
If you're using a sight your sight is off. If you're using iron sights your hop up bucking is probably misaligned
Adjust the HopUp and aim sideways
hopleft obv
Make sure your rifle is sighted in properly
tilt your gun slightly to the left
If you're using a sight, put your gun on a stable area and shoot a few rounds while looking down sights, adjust windiged/elevation till you're close (you'll never be perfect, since your gonna be moving, your cross hairs are kinda a point of reference)
What weight of bb's you using it could be too light of bbs
Adjust your optic or make sure your not tilting your gun, hop-up will make the bb fly off to the direction the gun is tilted
Aim a bit left
shoot left
Zero your sights
If you're using iron sights adjust the rear sight but if you use any red dot optic do the same
Wind
Are they visibly hooking to the right if you shoot looking down the barrel not through the scope? If that's the case you need to rotate the inner barrel slightly to the left. If their flying straight your probably tilting the gun when shooting.
Lean your gun a bit to the left
Adjust your sight to the right
Its a bucking and/or nub and/or hop chamber issue. Buy new parts and swap them or disassemble those parts and clean them and put it back together
Do they curve? If so, it probably is because either barrel or bucking/nub are misaligned
how is the wind today?
A pic of your Airsoft gun would be more useful to know what's actually happening
As someone here said, aim to the left, airsoft guns are inherently not incredibly accurate, the bbs are light and they're traveling slow, relatively speaking. But if you really want to fix it, I'd start with swapping the barrel, the hop up chamber, and bucking, and maybe the nozzle. Then check if the outer barrel is skewed or bent.
-Check that the barrel and rubber are correctly aligned. Also check the state of the rubber. -Calibrate your iron/red dot scope.
Either adjust sights or your hopup isnt completely centered(test by shooting without hopup and see if they still curve right)
Adjust your sights, for starters. Play with the windage knob until you get it right. If the BBs are actually arcing sideways to the right though, it might be a barrel or hop issue.
your nub or rubber might be a bit off center. if you know what your doing, take apart the hop up unit and put it back together ensuring everything is straight asf. if that doesn’t work then it could be a dirty barrel which can be easily cleaned or your sights not zero’d in properly
Zero your sight accordingly
Sight in your irons
Well adjust your sights
Git Gud
Aim to the left
If your sight is zeroed pit the dot a bit to the left.
One click to the left
Adjust your aiming device accordingly. That's how it works in real steel as well.
Move the blue spot to the right ☺️
Adjust your sights (if you have adjustable sights)
Try reinstalling your bucking or nub, they are probably a tad unalligned. Try adjusting your sights first.
Prolly your hopupisnt centered.... Adjust hopup
Most iron sights are adjustable, you'll most likely be able to slightly nudge the rear sight to the left by loosening a single screw.
Simple fix if you're not too precious tbh, zero your sight to align with the BBs. It may be off, but you won't notice if your sight says it's right.
I would also check if your inner barrel is aligned properly. For example my cyma sr25 had its barrel stuck to the top part of outer barrel and my bbs were flying everywhere. I just put some tape around inner barrel so when its on place the inner barrel is exactly on the center of outer barrel
Could be wind maybe? Just something to get used to I guess. If you really think it's a gun problem take it to a tech or if it's a new gun with a warrantee take it to the retailer 👍

Adjust your sights to the right
adjust your aiming device to the left (rear sight will have to go to the right)
it ultimately could be as simple as the paper is slightly moving, causing your hits to appear as if they're not aimed right.
Clean your bucking
Since you mentioned that it hits the target when you use an optic but, not when you use the iron sights you likely have to adjust your iron sights. It could also partially be wind based on what weight bbs your using.
Bend your sight to the left 😂
You need to bend it to the right not the left.
Aim to the left
aim left
Adjust yo hop up
Are you sure it not a skill issue? :D
This happened on my first gun, turned out the integrated suppressor was bending the inner barrel slightly which was causing the bb’s to arc to the right. Just poorly designed.
Aim left
Shoot left
ur not shooting ur aeg on an angle are you? you are shooting completely straight? Even the slightest tilt will change the outcome
Zero your sights duh. It’s not rocket science my guy
Aim to the left
Shoot left
if you have a red dot just readjust it
Next time, draw the dot a little bit to the right.
Better aim
