Integrated rail, low profile sights and new blowback system are the main highlights.

Asian retailers are *supposed* to be getting these this month. :-D

I'll get the WE hi-capa first. Nice piece, but the WE still has it in bang-for-the-buck category.

you forgot intergated lanyard, lower profile magazine base, all black no chrome.

my precious....

also looks like different trigger design, changed mag-release, integrated bottom rail

the original marui 5.1 still is in all black, no chrome on the official marui site, so they might change things around

will hte hicap 5.1 mag fit this thing? Man I hate bieng broke....

Very nice. The hammer is a skeleton oval as well - I can't see the integrated lanyard in those pictures.

The slide design is also changed and somewhat similar to Springfield Armory style.

Damn thats nice...

I hope WE comes out with one too, propane ready, all metal and cheap.

I'm waiting on my two WE HiCapasm, Ver1 and Ver2 :razz:

Should come next week, can't wait.

it's nice but i still like my 5.1 more

Its soooo "Tactical" that it doesnt even have a smeggin threaded outer barrel!

Hardly Tactical in my eyes.

New rear site as well.

It has a lot of features I like, but I'm not overly fond of the look. Wide framed pistols should be long not compacts. It would look good with a meat masher, but I cant see that being easy with the new frame. The slide would also be the first thing to go on mine, damn thats ugly.. But with the right combination of after market parts, these are going to be amazing.

the only thing i didnt like about the origenal highcappa was the extended mag. it made the gun feel unbalenced in the holster, at least to me. now that TM has less extended mags, i might just have to pick one up.

Hrmm, can this extended mag plate be removed sorta like the glock bottom mag plates?

yep

That's fucking TIGHT.

Go Marui!

Now make a damned P228.
Oh, and that standard 1911A1.
Oh, and a USP GBB.

Marui makes such good skirmish guns.

Damn right. I'd never waste money on this piece of plastic when those WE's are around. Hopefully WE expands their line up.

is TM not making a full sized USP that is coming out at the same time as the Hicapa 4.3?

yea, but apparently it's an AEP :(

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that sucks mojer ass.

Heres a scan from ARMS Magazine November 2005 Issue

Double post but heres some scans from COMBAT November 2005

iWant
iDrool

I like the little beaver tail on the grip safety. Looks sharp. (literally et. )

It does look nice, my scans aren't great due to uploading limits.

LOLs second picture the dude looks like he's wearing an apron...

by "dude" you mean "dudette"

Did anyone else just have a party in their pants when they saw the pics of this gun? me either.. but either way you look at it... im totally getting one.

My TM Hi-capa 5.1 is the best GBB I have ever used, so the 4.3 is going on my wish list ASAP.

Someone said new blowback system? care to elaborate?

omg. the black screws on the handles. i SO need those.....

I don't know the specifics, but it's supposed to be even more crisp/fast than the 5.1 and the P226. :roll:

was just wondering, there are all black 1911 models, but western arms 1911s usually have silver barrels, hammers and triggers. Is it that most people prefer this instead of full black? even though i know that you can mod them to whatever colour u like ultimately?

i myself prefer the full black though, not sure if im the minority, thats why the 4.3 really appeals to me.. anybody knows the specific release date? cant be too far off, the official TM website already has it.

WE's are nice, coming with a metal slide and all, but the TM Hi Capa is insanely accurate, consistant and has amazing range. Even if everyone has AEG's, I feel more then confident enough to take my Hi Capa out and it never lets me down. Hell, it even out ranges even the longest TM guns ie: M16

You buy TM now

WGC just got stock on these babies today:

omgzorz..-_-

argh yet another few hundred spent on airsoft XD... time to get myself a christmas present =)

so what's the price gonna be like? 130CDN from WGC, so i'd assume about 200 from any Canadian retailer.

Probably a little bit more than $200.00 ;)

Would the flat based magazine fit in my WE 5.1? I HATE this mag base thing.

The 5.1 is $300 from Tru. WGC has it for $117 which is the same price as the 4.3

So my guess is that the 4.3 will also be $300.

I have a feeling the shorter mag works with the 5.1, but don't take my word on it. The reduced mag base would take out about the 3 BB capacity difference.

oooh
i hope the parts are interchangable
ive been wanting to switch up my thumb safties to a single

Boner!

Why wait? NINE BALL had a single thumb safety for the longest time.

well, price, really
i dont have a crazy longing for it and the ones available right now come out to be quite expensive, especially after shipping

Anyone still interested in putting a meat basher kit on the 4.3?

You'll have to do it on the 5.1... with parts from the 4.3:
http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthr...625#post244625

You'll basically need to toss the lower receiver and swap for the 5.1 receiver.

SO - this probably won't get noticed as an add-on to this thread, but I'd rather not get pissed on for starting a new one:

Anybody have the 4.3 yet?

Would anyone care to compare it to the 5.1?

I read "different blowback" setup, and fear that they've just used the old style one, rather than the one they built for the 5.1...

I hope the blowback is as snappy and the cooldown is as non-existant as the 5.1...

Any comments on it so far?

Dave's Surplus got them in

No freakin way!!!?!??!?!??!?!!:?!?!?!??!?!??!

And?

Mfish...
Mine wil be here in two days...I am thinking of trying propane in it...think this will be a problem?
Fdog

after a good while, maybe... I don't know what everyone else will say, but all the west-coasters I've met personally use propane in their TM guns, and without drastic or horrifying results.

I suppose it will shorten the lifespan of the GBB overall, but I guess the general consensus is: The performance boost is worth it.

Plus, TM parts are replaceable, metal slides will eventually come out, and upgraded valves, springs, hammers, etc... will all be available to help the gun withstand higher pressures.

Waiting for mine to come in the mail =) I'll try to answer some of your questions once i get it..

I've got mine already =)

awesome to shoot. ILLusion is right about the mag holding less BBs.
im no airsoft expert but this gun feels better than the longer 5.1 Hi-Capa.

I've been using propane on the 4.3 about 2 mags worth already. nothing bad happened yet.

- low profile mag release
- low profile mag base
- light/quick blow back (great stability for hi-groupings at close range)
- awesome rate of fire (as fast as your trigger finger can pull)
- balanced weight distribution (slightly heavier at the pistol grip)

Does anyone know if there is a metal slide out for this gun yet?

I have looked everywhere and still i can't find mags for hi capa 4.3
could somebody help me?

Not available yet for both.

Give a month or two.

I've heard that that Hi-Capa 5.1 Mags work with the new 4.3.. I have yet to test this so I don't know how true it is

i went to 6mm today which have the 4.3.....i asked if the 5.1 mags fit and he tried to put it on and it worked....but WE DID NOT TEST FIRE THO!!!!....but the 5.1 mag did fit...

whats the fps on this gun
