Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1

Brief History

Developed by STI International in 2011, this pistol is designed to offer the public a modern version of the classic 1911. Among the advantages of the new model are; an increased magazine capacity, the caliber of the pistol decreasing from 0.45 ACP (11.5mm) to 9mm, reduced recoil, and due to modern materials, a lighter weight. This model is successfully used by law enforcement as well as by the public for personal protection.

Exterior of the Replica

Tokyo Marui, a replica with minor modifications of the STI 2011 tactical 5.0 carefully copied elements include the active safety located on the grip and the hammer safety, typical of the classic 1911. Maintaining the STI International pattern, the manufacturer Tokyo Marui uses a high-quality metal central chassis that serves as a stable support for all internal and external components. The slide and grip of the airsoft replica are made from ABS plastic. An advantage of this type of assembly is that once a certain component is damaged, it can be individually replaced.

At the bottom, the airsoft replica, like a real weapon, is equipped with a 22 mm rail that can support a wide variety of accessories such as flashlights, lasers, and other tactical devices.

Interior of the Replica

The internal components are quite similar to those of the 1911 Tokyo Marui but unfortunately do not fit exactly. Therefore, it is recommended to use components specifically manufactured for the HiCapa model. The quality of the internal components is very good, utilizing the specific alloys of Tokyo Marui. The airsoft replica is equipped with an adjustable Hop-Up system accessible by disassembling the slide (the outer barrel). The adjustment is precise, and the final position remains fixed. The Hop-Up effect is consistent and effective. The accuracy typical of Tokyo Marui is a must. The BB velocity is approximately 85 meters per second using 0.20g weight BBs. It is recommended to use quality BBs weighing 0.20g for optimal performance.

Power Source

The airsoft replica operates optimally with gas 134/144 A. Using any stronger gas may damage the replica. Under optimal temperature and operating conditions, the replica is capable of functioning with the entire magazine filled with gas.

Maximum performance is achieved at ambient temperatures above 15°C. Periodically, the airsoft replica should be cleaned and lubricated according to the recommendations in the Service and Maintenance section.
