Shredder with an Rhop?

[blackjack21]

I have an ares stoner LMG. I am thinking about getting an Rhop installed. But the hopup on the gun uses a shredder and I was told that you do not combine a shredder with an Rhop.

Is this true?

Technically it would work, but it's anything but ideal.
I've never found the SCS to make any sort of improvement over V style rubbers anyway. But the Rhop is designed for pressure over a greater length, and the SCS design for pressure over a single point. They kind of work against each other.
You'd still have hop up regardless, but the ideal nub for the SCS is the flat squishy one that was specifically designed for it, to put even pressure on the whole patch

Ideal nub for the Rhop is a flat nub like the "M nub". Do the eraser trick (Pentel or Staedtler erasers are supposedly the best), cut out a nub and try it.

To add to what TC said. The Shredder spacer puts pressure on a single point in the BB around a single axis but the idea is that it has a greater contact patch and "centres" the BB going down the barrel as opposed to the "bar" type nubs. The rhop on the other hand uses the idea of having a longer contact patch going fowards and backwards and the best nub would be flat to apply even pressure along the entire length of time the BB is going down the hop patch.

don't use a concave nub with an r-hop. r-hops were designed to be naturally concave, using a concave spacer is pointless, negatively affects performance and destroys concavity in the r-hop.
