I've wanted to build up a pistol for a while now. I went through a lot of different pistols in my head and what I'd do to them, and I finally settled on the Tokyo Marui 5.1 Hi-Capa. It's maybe 1/4 to 1/2 done now. I have a lot of other things I want to add to it, internally and externally. Here it is in its current form. I need to take better pictures too.

I decided early on that I wanted to try my best to stick to one or two manufacturers. I've chosen Airsoft Surgeon for the big parts. Currently the slide, magwell, piston head, recoil and hammer spring are Airsoft Surgeon parts. I plan on adding a frame and maybe a lightweight blowback chamber.

The barrel and chamber are Shooters Design. I was originally unsure of using the V12 barrel, but now that I see it on there, I wouldn't change it...unless I decide to add a compensator. I also added a Freedom Art green fibre optic
front sight(I still need to glue that Fibre bit in) and a Shooters Design rear sight (type c).

A glamour shot with what I affectionetly call "The Twins", a pair of Western Arms Bladmaster III's.

One more, this is with my Western Arms Wilson Combat SDS.

A special thanks goes out M102404, for selling me this gun in the first place, and to Brian (aka. Illusion) for lending his wealth of knowledge on Hi-Capas, as well as providing a means to aquire all the parts you see on this gun.
