WE Hi Capa 5.1

attack-beaver · September 19th, 2005, 00:00

i was looking at this GBB. but i would like to now info about this pistol like mantance, upgrades and how reliable is it.

CrazyChoda · September 19th, 2005, 00:10

i hear that it is pretty cheap, and there are not alot of parts for it, i would suggest a TM hicapa and then upgrade it to full metal later, i was thinking about gettin the tm hicap or WE hicapa but i fianlly decided on a KJW FM P14.45, just for the value of it, and because i needed an indoor beater

So if you just wanted a cheap indoor gun then get the WE but if u want something that will last get the TM

Isn't it the EXACT same pistol?

Mantelope · September 19th, 2005, 00:58

The TM and WE hicapas are almost the exact same, most parts are cross compatible.

attack-beaver · September 19th, 2005, 01:14

so i can use tm parts to keep is going what is it like on propane.

Duster is not an option, it's not strong enough to cycle the slide.

the WE blowback is a lot weaker than the TM's
full metal feels quite nice though

the blowback seems hard to me on mine its hard enough to screw with my aim. over multiple shots.

you can cut 1/2" off the recoil spring if you want a more complete slide cycle. don't try to use the co2 mag though if you cut the spring. that spring stock is ok for the power delivery of co2 but i don't think the slide will stay on for long with a weakened spring. it has one hell of a kick with co2 (more than any of the other 50 gbb's we own)

not my fault you limp-wrist your pistol

well, on that WE 5.1 i fired over the weekend, it felt quite a bit weaker than the TM 5.1

ABRAXAAS · September 19th, 2005, 13:02

maybee they were using propane ? im using the higher stuff

attack-beaver · September 21st, 2005, 02:13

so what is the FPS on all types of preplent.

hummermaniac88 · September 21st, 2005, 11:16

Just one question, while theres an thread on the WE hi-capa. Theres two versions, one that uses top gas, green gas and whatever gas you want, and theres on that uses the co2 mags. Could I buy the "normal" version and then go out and buy the CO2 mags to use it in the gun?

If this post made no sense, sorry.

mcguyver · September 21st, 2005, 21:03

yes.

Syn · September 21st, 2005, 21:25

umm i thought co2 mags are at a much higher pressure than propane mag. I thought that would damage the internals quickly on a propane gun???
