Not so, on a gas gun.
The hop up may apply more pressure on the BB, but that also gives the gas more time to expand. By the time enough pressure is placed on the BB to dislodge it from the hold of the hop up bucking, the pressure will be higher than normal, resulting in HIGHER fps.
Not sure why, but all of the AEGs I've tried these barrels in do not require the hop up to be adjusted to maximum, and if you attempt it, the BB will fly upwards, like a normally operating hop up system would do.
