WE-Tech Hi-CAPA Airsoft Gas Blowback Pistol (Model: 5.1 Striker / Black / Green Gas)

"ok so i finally got my gun today. cant complain cus it was a holiday plus i had to wait for the weekend but as soon as i busted it outta the box i almost pooped in my pants it was beautiful. honestly its my first gas gun and im so proud i chose this one. its amazing. accurate great power and strong kick. its all metal too which makes it great! buy this gun!!!



pros
everything!
cons
wish it came with another mag

"ok too start off im gonna say i never liked the hi capa's they had part of the mag sticking out........ And when i found out Evike "accidently" shipped this gun i was furious

However when i picked up this gun i fell in love with it and couldn't take it out of my hands, the pictures on the website don't really show you how awesome this gun is.

This gun is really great it will out match any of those standard 1911 which is why im glad i got it

Pros:
Decent weight i wanna estimate it at about 3-4 pounds

Made out of mostly metal i think the only non-metal parts are the grips, the rear sight, the magazine feed lip, and the beaver tail that is all i am aware of so far

Hi-capacity mag

Realistic disassembly except the recoil spring plug is not like the one on real 1911s

skeleton hammer

dual safety might be a con

white dot on front sight

pre-installed threaded barrel

half cock safety, along with grip safety

three whole trigger

cons:
non-metal magazine feed lip but not a serious problem just don't let it slam to the top of the magazine

rear sight has no white dots could also be metal instead of plastic

trigger pull is really strong at first, but i think i might have finally broken it in and is responding like a pistol should, also the trigger isn't a gi style triggr

no guide rail

mag sticks out i rather have a gun that is all flush

no front serrations

If you over fill the mag, the gas will shoot into your face and if you are using propane well prepare to taste something really nasty

as you can see the con's are not that big and this pistol is definitely worth it especially if i like it seeing as how i hated this gun at first

"First off, this pistol is worth every penny. It feels and looks great, and it does not scratch.
Pros:
No wobble
shoots great
internals look better than my kwa
solid and crisp blowback thanks to the aluminum construction

cons:
REALLY hard to get orange tip off as it is glued and threaded in
the laser inscription in mine came a little off, there were small permeament smudges around a few letters

other: note when you get this, the dark part of the slide in line with the sites in the picture looks like a odd angle or something that made it look dark, its acutaly the same color as the lower frame
looks ****** - thats good by the way

"Great pistol, great build quality and great price.

Something to keep in mind if you plan to purchase a "silencer" (barrel extension) - when the slide is cycled, the guide rod extends past the end of the dust cover, and the outer barrel retracts slightly, which means the "silencer" you chose must be slim enough not to bang into the guide rod and lock up the action.

I found out the hard way.

"i love this gun i just got it for my birthday.i use green gas.it haas good fps.if your looking for gas pistol get this one it is cheap for a pistol like this. shipping is about 20 bucks.it is full metal. its also heavy.

"This pistol looks amazing, for 100 bucks its a steal, no potpetal on it, just good quality parts everywhere, i found it is impossible to find anything wrong with it.
Pros:
Accurate
Mag is fair
good build
good price
will become your personell best friend
NO CONS

"I am officially converted from Marui to WE.
My first WE 1911 was from 5 years ago and they are definitely way different now.
The slide is not pot metal, but aluminum, so the blowback is much more smooth and stylish. The initial look and feel is simply perfect as nothing on this pistol is ABS but the grip which it should.

It kicks hard and shoots amazing, you will love it. The item is as pictured and more.

"Definitely a good gun, and for the price, amazing. For $100 you get a sturdy, hard shooting handgun with great balance and a good feel to it. Now, the only issue with these guns is that they definitely need upgrades before they are worthy. You'll need to pick up a better hammer/recoil spring set, reinforced blowback housing/nozzle, 6.01-03 inner barrel, and a high-flow magazine valve. Once you've got all of that installed, this gun REALLY shines. I get somewhere around 1 foot grouping at 50-75 feet, which isn't too bad at all. Not to mention, the gun shoots WAY harder, and has a much more powerful blowback. All in all, great gun.

Pros:

Heavy, sturdy construction
Shoots well out of the box but can still benefit greatly from modification
Good beginning gas gun, to teach you how to clean and care for a gas gun in general
Comes with a handsome carrying case
You can get the Co2 mag version off Evike
Removable orange (threaded) nozzle on the tip

Cons:

Shines the most when upgraded (another 100-200 bucks)
Some parts will rattle (I plan on using velcro pads to soften some of the rattling)
The cycling isn't as fast as a TM/KWA (can be fixed with an upgraded slide)


As you can see, all of the cons can be remedied in their own way. The gun needs a good owner with a little cash on the side, that's all.

"ok so this is my 5th review on this gun i hope this one goes through i got this gun for xmas first impressions very heavy full metal ive had it for about a month now and have only had one problem but that was my fault this gun has a nice recoil and fps for a pistol it is pretty accurate once you adjust the hop up which is inside the gun i bought a propane adaptor because it is a lot cheaper than green gas and the gun handles propane fine.

pros
nice fps
full metal
accurate
great price

cons
hop up is inside the gun

"This gun is amazing it has a great kick it makes me feal like im holding a real 45acp.It is not to expensive the magazine leaks somtimes but no big deal. Overall great gun to have.

"well i got this gun had very fast shipping i opened the box and i pull out my first gas blowback pistol my first impressions on this pistol are that it is very heavy for a pistol nice weight feels very realistic shoots very hard around +300 fps it kicks hard and i like it very much.

Pros=
nice weight
good fps
hard kick

Cons
none i can think of

"This pistol feels great in yur hands and the weight is great. This has great recoil.

"Is this really full metal and does it work well in about 40 degree wether because i live in colorado

"When I got this pistol in the mail, I couldn't wait to get out on the field and try it out ... boy was I glad I bought it. My first game out I took out 3 enemies and surrendered a 4th. The accuracy of this pistol was amazing with .28g bbs and the distance was also great. It was shooting at around 298fps w/ .28g bbs to boot! By the end of the day, this was my weapon of choice and I wasn't even using my rifle. My final "kill" of the day was from about 50-60 feet away and after 4-5 rounds the enemy combatant was hit. He even noted he was "embarrassed to be shot from that far with a pistol".

BUY IT.

"THIS is my first pistol and I freakin love it! IT very heavy and has a great blowback. when i shot this gun so close to me it was so freakin loud it hurt my ears . HECKA REALISTIC GUN! My gun turn out to become black . so if your getting this gun there a chance itll be black. but it still sexy! But the one thing i wanted for this gun . was that i wanted it to included to mags. but overall this gun is a bad ass beast!
