It travels forward, picks a BB off the magazine lips and delivers it into the hop unit, and it does that under gas pressure a few thousand times a season. When it wears, cracks or loses its seal, the gun starts feeding unreliably and venting gas past the BB, and the symptoms get blamed on the hop for weeks before anyone opens the bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Action Army’s own replacement, listed by them as part number 71 and shown under that number on their exploded diagram of the pistol. Having the right part number matters here, because nozzles are gun-specific and a near-match will not seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a spare rather than an upgrade. You buy it because the original has done its time, or because you are building a second upper and need one, not because it will make the gun shoot harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #1b3a6b; margin: 18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px; margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #1B3A6B; color: #fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 7px 12px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 7px 12px; text-align: left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAction Army AAP-01 and AAP-01C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e71\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eCollects the BB from the magazine and feeds it into the hop unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSupplied as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSingle loading nozzle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePart type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 7px 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFirst-party Action Army component\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #1b3a6b; margin: 18px 0 8px;\"\u003eGood to know before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth noting: this part is sometimes listed elsewhere under the description for a completely different product, the Black Mamba upper receiver kit. The part number, the price and the fitment are right; their copy is not. We have written this from Action Army’s parts list and diagram instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeding faults are usually one of three things on this platform: the nozzle, the magazine lips or the hop rubber. Check all three before buying any of them, because replacing the wrong one teaches you nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is behind the bolt, so fitting means opening the upper. Not difficult, but not a safe-zone job either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo material or weight is published for the nozzle by Action Army, so we are not quoting either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #1b3a6b; margin: 18px 0 8px;\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the loading nozzle actually do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt picks a BB off the magazine lips on each cycle and feeds it forward into the hop unit, sealing against the gas behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know mine has gone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInconsistent feeding, double feeds, or gas escaping past the BB so the shot sounds right but goes nowhere.
