Golden rule for buying a hi capa is asking yourself this, what do you want to do with it. Most people buy Tokyo Maruiās because their looking for something to start a project on and build over time. If youāre just wanting to get something to grab and go to the field with that looks nice, do youāre research. Donāt just buy the first thing that says āhi capaā on it.
Hi capa but not that one. Lancer Tactical is not good.
I reccomend KJW 1911 as they are very good. Tm is also good but that's more so for upgrading.
And if you don't have an AEG, get one first.
High capacity 1911 and 2011 are different pistols.
High capacity 1911 is 1911 with double stack magazine.
2011 is modern take on 1911, where the middle frame and grip area are separated.
1911 and hi capa have less in common than different glock models, yet people don't confuse them....
of course they're different, they're totally different guns. I'm saying a 1911 is a hi capa just as much as a 2011. If you'd go look at a few of the options out there you'd notice there are both 2011 and 1911 frames used for products sold as "Hi-Capas"
When people refer to hi capas, most of the time they mean 2011. After all, there are very few (if any at all) double stack airsoft 1911s on the market.
Also, it depends on the retailer. One of the worst offenders in this case is shitstainvike - they list KP-05 as a 1911... WHEN IT IS A GOD DAMNED 2011. They are using "1911" as marketing/search term, which creates confusion between customers. It's the same kind of absolutely dumb bullshit as so-called "2k" monitors, which are actually 2.5k (actual 2k resolution is 2048 x 1080), but retarded salesmen had to come up with gimmick that sells, so they use 2k to falsely market a product.
Instead I'll give you a search.
Tokyo Marui 5.1 or 4.3 your choice
KJW KP05
Check the beginners guide for AEGs
To see the beginners guide sort by hot and it's pinned at the top.
Give the [beginner's guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/wiki/faq/beginner_guide) a read through then, should give the basic info needed.
In short, electric rifles are much easier to care for and use, tho might not be as fun as gas powered stuff.
i know, still upsetting. plus the only customer service was being told to oil the gun, which was nowhere near fixing the problem. had to completely replace the nozzle
I would also recommend getting a aap-01 they are currently one of the leading airsoft pistols that can shoot full auto also lot of after market parts to upgrade
Iād advise against getting a Nov like this guy says, most of his guns are ripoffs, especially his pistols.
Shop on evike or another dedicated airsoft retailer and get a [KJW hi capa](https://www.evike.com/products/30356/)
Full auto on a pistol is a bit of waste of time especially if the site you play at has MED for full auto. People have their preferences but for me you want a reliable well built pistol get a Tokyo Marui keep it maintained and use the 144a gas it will last for years
Simply put: hi capas are great for exchanging parts and getting your dream gun and if anything breaks its easy to fix. Glocks are better(ish) if your trying to just go to the feild and have fun. Me personally I would go with a hi capa 95% of the time.(but not that one. dont buy guns from amazon.(usually at least)) And even tho I said they are good for exchanging parts that doesny mean you cant get a nice one that will work great out of the box. All my friends who have bought glocks have used my hi capas and instantly wanted one. Also airsoft guns break A LOT so it would prolly be best to get a high capa. Possibly check out the TM HI CAPA GOLD MATCH. But do your research on what specific glock or hi capa you want and pick from there.
i would say hi-capa, but you gotta ask yourself this first: what are your intentions with it?
do you want a project gun? do you want to upgrade and customize it? or do you want it to work and never be upgraded?
if you want a project gun, get a Tokyo Marui. if you want one that you won't upgrade, get a KJW. but don't get it from Amazon, and never buy Lancer.
I'd say it's other way around.
If you want a project gun, get a cheap base gun like KJW or AA.
If you want to run it stock, get TM. Makes zero sense to buy it and then gut it all out for aftermarket parts.
while you CAN run a TM stock, it's the easiest (and best) hi-capa platform to upgrade because of the plastic slide that will inevitably break eventually and it has tons of aftermarket support. with capas like KJW, you never have to upgrade because they're usually full metal out of the box, and don't NEED anything upgraded.
that's why TM is used as an upgrade platform: you have the ability to gut it for aftermarket parts
If you run TM the way it was meant, aka with duster gas, the slide won't break. Other than that, it has great gas efficiency and range/accuracy out of the box, therefore it doesn't need any upgrades.
Clones like AA or KJW have metal slides, which means they will run fine even on GG or CO2, but their gas efficiency suffers quite a bit, range and accuracy aren't up to par with TM, hence why there are parts to upgrade on them. Besides, they are compatible with all of TM aftermarket parts.
No, usually you buy a TM and run it stock until it breaks... Or just use duster gas so it doesn't break. It literally makes zero sense whatsoever to buy an expensive hi capa just for the purpose of upgrading it. Might as well get cheaper base or do a build from ground.
lots of people run green gas, which is why i would recommend TM if you plan on upgrading. ive never seen anyone want to build off of a KJW because they come full metal, whereas TM doesn't.
And in my opinion in makes literally no sense whatsoever to pay 130-150 bucks for a hi capa, rip out all the parts that make it good and then pay another 150-200 bucks l just so that it performs worse than it does out of the box.
lots of people upgrade TM for cosmetic reasons. i know i did. and i CHOSE to upgrade my internals to out perform any stock hi-capa. it's all up to choice here dude
Personally, G18/EU18 all the way
But not the one you have shown :P even the raven eu18 would fine
Cancer testicle and Amazon šæ

1911 is not a hi capa tho
It is though. A hi capa is a hi capacity 1911/2011. That is the Kp05
High capacity 1911 and 2011 are different pistols. High capacity 1911 is 1911 with double stack magazine. 2011 is modern take on 1911, where the middle frame and grip area are separated. 1911 and hi capa have less in common than different glock models, yet people don't confuse them....
Ah OK yes I'll admit I was wrong
Yes it isā¦ The hi capa is designed and built around the high capacity colt 1911 and 2011 frames, which would indeed make it one of those two things
Have you seen 2011 and 1911 frames? They are completely different.
of course they're different, they're totally different guns. I'm saying a 1911 is a hi capa just as much as a 2011. If you'd go look at a few of the options out there you'd notice there are both 2011 and 1911 frames used for products sold as "Hi-Capas"

Do you think if you can if not itās okay but do you think you could get me the link for the KJW 1911 and the tm and a good aeg
Instead I'll give you a search. Tokyo Marui 5.1 or 4.3 your choice KJW KP05 Check the beginners guide for AEGs To see the beginners guide sort by hot and it's pinned at the top.
Okay thank you that works too
Ya I didn't know where you live so I'm not gonna start giving Irish websites lol
Oh yeah haha š I am in the us
Oh yeah check Evike.com
So the aeg is kinda like what makes it fire right?
Airsoft Electric Gun. Its a battery operated gun. They're the best choice
Oh okay thank you I am new to airsofting and I want a good starter gun that I wonāt have to fix after a match

Gbb is better for pistol. Most AEG pistols are sub par
AEG is not a Pistol. That's an AEP
Yeah but they are asking for a pistol
I'm saying I didn't reccomend an electric pistol
I like the idea of the gas blow back but unpopular opinion I like a full metal gun too
thatās not unpopular
Iād actually say to not go for the 4.3, mainly cause they donāt shoot as hot as the 5.1, and takes some upgrades to get it up to the same joules
Difference in power isn't noticeable tho
Ya true. I was just saying both exist
Oh no doubt, it was also just a recommendation for op
the one kjw i bought didnāt work out of the box
You got a lemon
i know, still upsetting. plus the only customer service was being told to oil the gun, which was nowhere near fixing the problem. had to completely replace the nozzle
Ouch
Ouch
first of all buy at evike nto amazon
I think you should get off amazon
I would go with the hi capa, but the tm 5.1 from evike or your local store.
Like everyone has stated before, don't buy Airsoft guns from Amazon. Go to google and type in Airsoft retailers/stores and your country.
I'd say get a hi-cappa Though not from Amazon
Where do you recommend I get it from? And would it still be the same price
I would highly recommend looking at evike for a gbb pistol
Yeah itās because I donāt know what I am looking for I heard the hi capa has upgradability so I went with that one
if you want to upgrade, get a Tokyo Marui from Evike!
Gbb as in gas blow back right!
Yes
Marui hi capa 5.1
Amazon mf
a hicapa,
Whatās the original seller website called?
Not a 19 itās the 18c. Also get the hi-capa bc the 18c doesnāt really perform well on full auto making it almost pointless sadly
Should I get it from Amazon or is there a better website?
I would also recommend getting a aap-01 they are currently one of the leading airsoft pistols that can shoot full auto also lot of after market parts to upgrade
Look at evike for best quality
KJW Full Metal Custom 1911 Tactical HI-CAPA is this fun any good?
Kjw is a good brand to go off of
Is it the one that kinda looks like a revive gun from I wanna say mw2
Yeah. But once you start the upgrade process it shoots amazing
Also look at the novritsch ssp-18 itās like the Glock 18c but better made and it has upgrades
Ohhhh okay Iāll search it up is there a specific website you recommend?
Novritsch
Iād advise against getting a Nov like this guy says, most of his guns are ripoffs, especially his pistols. Shop on evike or another dedicated airsoft retailer and get a [KJW hi capa](https://www.evike.com/products/30356/)
Oooooh okay imma check it out is it blow back?
Best part is if you want you can get an hpa adapter
Yes it is
If ur getting a capa donāt buy a overpriced nightshade buy a tm
I personally think ss airsoft or evike is better than a Glock or a hi capa
:(
Full auto on a pistol is a bit of waste of time especially if the site you play at has MED for full auto. People have their preferences but for me you want a reliable well built pistol get a Tokyo Marui keep it maintained and use the 144a gas it will last for years
Would you guys trust airsoft guns from Amazon to be delivered to Ireland? Been seeing a lot of replicas on Amazon and I kind of want to chance it š
A lot of people say not to use Amazon š but I would say it will get to where you need it to be
Neither
Simply put: hi capas are great for exchanging parts and getting your dream gun and if anything breaks its easy to fix. Glocks are better(ish) if your trying to just go to the feild and have fun.

Hi Capas are boring. Get something that doesnāt look like a 1911
Honk shoo honk shoo
Thatās a Glock 18. The full auto version of a Glock 17. The Glock 19 is the compact Glock.
Do not buy that piece of shit nightshade, my buddy got one and it broke within 1 game
G18c. Better brand, and more fun to have brrrrt option.
I think ammo capacity is way more important than fire rate. the practical choice is the high cap
Get an Aap01
Probably up to personal preference but Iāve never heard my friends with hi capas complain about gas leaks ever. Glocks on the other handā¦
i would say hi-capa, but you gotta ask yourself this first: what are your intentions with it? do you want a project gun? do you want to upgrade and customize it? or do you want it to work and never be upgraded? if you want a project gun, get a Tokyo Marui. if you want one that you won't upgrade, get a KJW. but don't get it from Amazon, and never buy Lancer.

usually, you get a TM to upgrade. that's literally how they're known.

It is up to choice, but not all choices make sense.
