Your hopup bucking is a seal of sorts.

A Seal is created between the air nozzle and the tapered down part of the hop up rubber.  :roll:

And other places such as the seal between the piston head and cylinder, and the seal between the cylinder head and cylinder.   The reason we use pure silicon oil is because anything containing petroleum distaltes (Read: WD40 and off brands there of) will destroy anything rubber, this includes the hop up bucking and nub, piston head O-ring and the cylinder head O-ring.
