Flat hop is possible, but not ideal. Part of how the flat hop works is the front of the barrel supporting the bucking so that it doesn't just push the whole bucking in. Because the front lead of the hop up window isn't on gbb barrels, the whole hop system would collapse in a flat hop situation. Instead, an r-hop requires much less pressure to have the same effect, and works better for this application because of this.

AEPs have something similar to R-hop BTW.

Nope, WEs are TM clones, those Glock mags are all KWA and are therefore totally different.
