Utty Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 The hopup is not strong enough for them, in other words they dont fly nearly as far as the .20 do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you try adjusting the hop-up? Link to post Share on other sites
Siciro Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Im thinking of using ONLY .23's for all my guns. Has anyone else used .23's before? I also find .25's too heavy for my taste. Ill make my final decision on a pistol when the finnaly release the TM M93R AEP. Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 But it's individual from gun to gun which weight of BB is optimal. My Tanaka M629 worked best with .43g (even in semi-cold weather), and my stock Hi-Capa does a great job at long range with .20g. Link to post Share on other sites
CountDoom Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 But anything that shoots is better than the USP imo So what is wrong with the KWA USP? Does yours have a metal slide? Also, hissing sid, how safe is it to order one from red wolf, and how much does it cost to ship to Britian? (I have never ordered abroad before) Link to post Share on other sites
Hissing_Sid Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Also, hissing sid, how safe is it to order one from red wolf, and how much does it cost to ship to Britian?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well... I'm not the right person to talk to about Redwolf. Most people seem to think they are a good reliable company. WGC is now selling the Armotech HiCapa for $105US. That's the one I bought. It'll probably cost about $30 to ship over here and there's then the chance you'll pay £15 tax on top of that. TBH, I wouldn't bother ordering one from HK alone. I just ordered it as part of a bigger order. I'm ordering some more stuff in July so, if you want, I suppose I could order you one. Link to post Share on other sites
*~KaWaNa~* Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 i bought the all meayle hicapa for only 100$ + tax i like it alot Link to post Share on other sites
Historyteller Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 But the WE doesn't have the Armotech trades on the grip. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wei Tech makes molds for other manufacturers. This is the first of a series of pistols they'll be doing themselves. I have a production sample with Armotech trades, I assume that a deal fell through. Link to post Share on other sites
Historyteller Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Very nice Screwschom. You have my full attention First off, I'd love to know your impressions of firing this, but I have a couple of other questions you may be able to help me out with too. Firstly, who are WE? They haven't popped up on my radar yet and Redwolf aren't providing details. What is their full name and do they have a reputation yet? Secondly, is this model compatible with the Marui Hi-Capa spare magazines? If not, I don't suppose you know if they are easily available do you? Sorry for all the questions, but this is one VERY nice looking GBB Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The WE can take TM mags. I've tried it, they work. Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Cheers Historyteller. Luckily, I had my WE Hi-Capa delivered yesterday. It does indeed take Hi-Capa mags (they are totally interchangable, althought the firing valves look different). My thoughts on this gun are in Snowman's mini-review thread here... http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...20entry311124 (Full thread link) Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed the sluggishness with green as well ... red makes it a little better, but I'm waiting for Shadow Spec to get some upgrade parts in, we'll see what works. However, the reason it's not crisp with green gas is ....... it's designed to also handle C02. With the C02 mag in, it shoots around 360fps and moves very well. Personally, I have no interest in C02 pistols (even here in the US). Link to post Share on other sites

snowman Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Odd, eh. I read R22's review and dug out them again. The TM is FASTER (amongst the fastest I've seen, which is only to be expected with such a light slide), but I wouldn't call the metal gun sluggish. R22's comment confused me slightly, though (I've posted on that thread to keep it tidy) That's the problem with subjective comparisons... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Blitzkrieg Boddhisattva Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 My WE had the Armotech trades on the grip as well. It would be a shame to characterize them as being aesthetically pleasing. They're so toyish it hurts... They peel off easily, though. It's a real downer that the integrated rails won't accommodate neither my real "steel" Glock tac-light or my G&P M3-clone! Maybe WE plan to launch a tac-light of their own that will only fit their Hi-Capa clone... Link to post Share on other sites
Holmes Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hey, is the PHX Hi-Capa the same as the WE? Link to post Share on other sites
Tef Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 i just came back from wolf, they have them in stock and selling at £125. they are WE, and they have that laser logo thing at the bottom of the grip said WE-airsoft or somethign like that, and the slide is completely plain, no transfer, no laser burnt wording, nothing at all, just a plain smooth slide.

Gene Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Another suggestion that the Hi-Capa is a HFC? http://www.allproducts.com/manufacture9/ho...2gun-hg197.html Cheers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Great link snowman! Link to post Share on other sites

I found that ironic. Chrono'd in at 200fps with green, going to try red tomorrow if I remember my gas. Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Presumably, like the CO2 Berettas, they have a different hammer spring or some other mod, as the one I tested was a match fps wise for the TM Hi-Capa (280ish fps on green gas/Propane) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Blitzkrieg Boddhisattva Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Has anyone successfully fitted a tac-light to one of these, or is it just my gun that's something wrong with? It seems like it doesen't take well to any of the tac-lights that normally fit 20-mm rails. If this is a general problem, I'd like to know about it... Link to post Share on other sites
clmwrx Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 its because it doesnt have a slot for the screws to go through Link to post Share on other sites
Hissing_Sid Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 its because it doesnt have a slot for the screws to go through <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Might just be because it's a bit too wide. Most stuff like lasers and lights fits onto a pistol rail but I've found that a vertical foregrip which fits onto an aluminium RIS won't fit onto the plastic rails of any of my glocks OR onto the rail of my M190.

Blitzkrieg Boddhisattva Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 its because it doesnt have a slot for the screws to go through <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "screws"? Sorry, But I'm totally lost. Are you thinking of the TM Hi-Capa and the way you fit the rail to it? The problem with my WE seems to be that the machined (or cast - I dunno how they're made) grooves are not deep enough, making the rail too wide. (Bingo, Sid) Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Now that I've handled, fixed, and shot a WE Capa, here are my notes: - very heavy. Slide is overly heavy IMO. - finish and general quality is good, but still Taiwan-grade (of course). - the accessory rail is indeed of the wrong dimensions (too wide) and lacks a crossbar notch. - specimen failed to work properly with standard mag, nor did it work with a standard TM mag. Installing a Guarder high output valve in the WE mag solved the problem entirely. Also installed Guarder hammer spring and PDI piston head with favorable results. - specimen failed to lockback slide on empty mag, caused by faulty slide release lever. With a TM lever there was no problem. WE lever was fixed with a layer of super glue on the inner surface that catches the tab on the BB follower in the magazine (specificly, the problem was that the slide release lever did not have enough reach to catch the BB follower tab). - personal preference, WE or TM? Take a wild guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I did a little recon with some manufacturers I have contacts with and found out that the WE HiCappa is the ONLY pistol that WE makes at the moment. The guy who owns them used to make some rather nice silencers he sold threw KM until the ATF found out they where functional. He's also the owner of Airsoft Elite. They do plan on making some more styles of ultra heavy weight GBB's soon. A warning to those that are using the WE version, run it with RED GAS or CO2 only! Green doesn't always have the power to throw the slide all the way back once the mag starts to cool down. Not to mention it's only shooting <250fps on green. Also, the plastic bits on the mag are rather fragile, don't drop it! (store model was dropped the day after we got it shattering the base and snaping the feed lips.) Link to post Share on other sites
Sig552 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'm glad I got the TM version . I just ordered mine a few hours ago. I expect it here soon with in the next few days (2-4). I would of been mad if I got the WE version w/ green gas and the slide was cycling slow . Link to post Share on other sites
