When i shoot my airsoft pistol the bb goes in a straight line untill about 25 feet when it starst to curve up. My question is why does it curve up not down and how do i fix the updraft.

that's definately a hop-up problem. if your gun has an adjustable hop up then turn it all the way down. if it dosen't thne there's not much you can do to fix it. also if it's at the lowest setting there is you can't fix it, you just got a bit of a lemon.
what you can try doing tho is using heavier weight. look at your ammo, i'd bet you're probably using .12 gram bb's try going up to .20 or .24's . if that's not enough look for .25-.28's

ah, this phenominon is called Hop-up. Most guns have a switch, so that you can control the amount of hop up. This is caused by the ball spinning the moment it is shot, however the spinning doesnt have an effect until the momentum from the bolt hitting the bb wears off.

dont shoot farther then 25 ft cause they dont even hurt someone after that range anyways
