Thank you, im starting to get into gbbp's and im looking to buy my first pistol and this video helped me with some of the confusion of choosing my first gun.
Great Video! I bought a 4.3 due to availability and eventually got the 5.1 due to the upgradability that it presented. I get that you say the whole upper part of the guns are interchangeable but I think the most important part to mention is that just the slides themselves are not interchangeable. I've looked for an all metal slide (that wasn't a Guarder) and have had minimal luck. My only option for that gun (the 4.3) was to change out the whole upper part to make it a 5.1. With the price of upgrades, it was cheaper to get a 5.1 and upgrade it with an aluminum slide than it was to upgrade the 4.3. As it stands, I am just waiting until my 4.3 breaks which is super unfortunate. I really wish there was more love for the 4.3.
I have been wanting a tm hi-capa but I had to do research for upgrades when it breaks and what gas to us. I then found your channel and I love it. When I finally get my hi-capa 5.1 gold match this miny I will definitely look at you videos when I finally upgrade and repair. So thank you for these videos.
The thing I like about the 4.3, aesthetically at least, is that the slide and frame are flush at the front opposed to the 5.1 where the frame is shorter. Wish I could find more 5.1 with a flush frame and slide.
Hi, I have a question. Which gun will show the best result? We need to take HiCapa 5.1 & 4.3 basic equipment, and measure the speed of the ball. After that, we change the barrel to 6.01 and once again measure the speed of departure of the ball.
I’m a late gbb pistol but u really helped me and saved me because nowadays some of 4.3 set are out of stock or discontinued for some reason idk but again after watching your video I decided to get the 5.1 since 4.3 is out of stock I know the outer barrel will flash out with the slide but yea it works thanks a lot if I have a question can I email you or any info that I can send u they pm ?
I am on the line because i like the look of the 4.3, but the 5.1 has more upgrade parts. What is your favorite 4.3 slide? and should i go with the 5.1 because i can upgrade it more? thanks!
1st off always great videos. Question, why do TM mags not have fill valve o-rings? Are there o-rings that fit? I cannot find any that fit. Every time I try to fill with green gas I waste as much as a fill.
I’m thinking of buying a (WE Hi Capa 5.1 K type Full Metal GBB Pistol - Black) because the shop I go to doesn’t sell the TM version anymore which Is annoying but they do sell (Tokyo Marui Desert Warrior 4.3 1911 Series Gas Blowback Pistol - Tan) which one should I get?
I want to get a 4.3 for its guts to build a 5.1. In this video you said the hammer, safety, and trigger are "different". Does that mean you can't interchange them? Getting 5.1 slide, frame, and grip and putting the 4.3 dual stainless internals in it. Does this work?
Should I get a tm hi capa or marui m&p? I hear good things about both but, seems like the m&p is more durable. How is the aftermarket support for the m&p? It seems decent, let me know what I should get,
Shiiiiiet. I bought a 4.3 as it was all that was available, and I don't like the extended look of the 5.1 mags. Do you know if I can stick a ambi safety on the 4.3?
FRom what I've read up on it, that's basically what most say. I can NOT say that is true, but the generall consesus is just that; the longer barrel of 5.1 makes for a better APSC/precision pistol and the shorter 4.3 is "better" for actual combat instead. Personally.. honestly, it's what, about ONE inch difference? How much can it differ?
Hey knuckles I kind of need to know asap because my slide from alpha airsoft is coming but my slide broke and I need one for this Monday and wanted to know if u have a stock slide I can buy from u I just need it for one day because I bought one but its not going to come on time I need one for a TM 5.1
great video man... :) have a question as well if you don't mind. for you out of those 2, which one would you pick and why? i was thinking the 4.3 is closer to me but now i'm confused... i think i'm staring to like more and more the 5.1. unfortunately none of those were in my hand (size 8 gloves)... thanks in advance, tc :)
4.3 finally has some more options, all though a long way from the 5.1 slide options. In the end its more about where you play and what your style is. When I was actively playing, my local field allows 400fps, so I can run either but getting a 7inch inner barrel in was good for me. My other place I played at was very CQB so I loved 4.3s for that. Just find out what you love and base it on that
KnucklesGSM I finally bought 5.1. Should be with me in few days. I think I will end up with .45 extreme as well but that need's to wait... thx a lot for the answer. Tc. Best of luck :)
this might sound dumb, but where can I get gurader upgrade parts for glock 18? I need some parts for my glocks and a friend said gurader was a good choice, but he forgot to tell me where to buy it
Can someone help me out I am going to get a 5.1 slide for my 4.3. But I want to first make sure there are holsters out there that would work. Like could I just use a 5.1 holster?
Hi, I saw that you talk more of TM but, can you tell me if all WE HI-Capa 5.1 series are 100% compatible with the TM Hi-Capa 5.1? Y can't buy TM in my country, here are only WE. Is there some model that I should stay away from? (WE HI-Capa 5.1 series). Thanks and regards.
That is impossible to guarantee that now with the newer WE models being changed. It will be hard to figure out what gen you have as most websites will never tell you what gen they are.
Hi I know from your videos that 5.1 is a safe but regarding upgrades, but i' d like to know if a TM detonics 45 based gun the strike warrior is compatible with hi capa upgrades such as inner barrel, litghtweight blow back unit and upgraded pistons. Let me know if you know something about it. Thank's it's a joy watching your videos
AM needs to re-release the oem ops tactical 4.3 slides again as i think the oem slide looks like best for gold match and 4.3 if you wanna keep it all black and stock looking.
Heyy ummm i have a Echo 1 Timber Wolf and i was wondering what slides i can get for it becuase i dont know if u can use the airsoft masterpiece ones cause its a different brand
I noticed that a lot of your guns don't have thumb safeties on both sides, is that something that's just personal preference or is there a benefit? And does it require any specialist parts? I'm not a fan of thumb safeties, would they be able to be removed? Loving the videos, learning a lot :)
I was wondering if there's an easy way to remove the Orange tip from a stock tm 5.1 cuz I just got mine from evike and I wanted to remove it. Would just pliers work or what? Thanks
I think I saw you use a 6" or 7" extended inner barrel in a different Video for a TM mod, but I think I also heard you reference the 4.3 slide, was this because you had to use the 4.3 slide?
Hey man! Love your videos. Would you be willing to sell and ship me a cool aftermarket slide for my WE G17? I'm starting to upgrade my Glock and I always go to your videos for reference and ideas! Let me know! Thanks
Hi, Knuckles! I Have a question about the new GunsModify SAI slides (Specificly the costa version with the RMR and all that jazz) Im having troubles installing the trigger unit. The video you already have up on it is different, its a older version than the one I have here.. Do you have any ideas on it? I cant seem to get to install the safety on it :/
what's difference between standard Black TM 5.1 vs. TM Silver 5.1 Stainless with internal parts is it only difference with paint that pills off on silver or?
hey knuckles. I love your work and have recently bought a tm 5.1 hi capa and i fell in love with it. It is way more accurate than my M4 SMG that i use and I'm thinking about making it my primary. I am thinking about buying a metal slide for it when the plastic one breaks so i am thinking about an Airsoft Masterpiece triangle slide. Would you recommend it? I'm also probably going to get a different grip for it so I want to know what are some good grips >$50 that are drop in fits. Love your work helped me a lot before.
Thank you, im starting to get into gbbp's and im looking to buy my first pistol and this video helped me with some of the confusion of choosing my first gun.
FANTASTIC VIDEO KNUCKLES HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE KEEP IT UP WATCHED THIS VIDEO MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I NEEDED AN ANSWER
thank you for the video, you really helped me

nggomez60 Alpha airsoft just got some new hi cap 4.3 metal slides by airsoft masterpiece

This month'
And sorry for the bad grammar, I'm using my iPhone
I always thought of buying the 4.3 or the 5.1
The thing I like about the 4.3, aesthetically at least, is that the slide and frame are flush at the front opposed to the 5.1 where the frame is shorter. Wish I could find more 5.1 with a flush frame and slide.
so i have a desert warrior 4.3 and i plan to swap out the slide since it's all worn out
can i just get one of those slide for hicapa 4.3/5.1 too?
Hi, I have a question. Which gun will show the best result? We need to take HiCapa 5.1 & 4.3 basic equipment, and measure the speed of the ball. After that, we change the barrel to 6.01 and once again measure the speed of departure of the ball.

how are airsoft masterpiece slides? are they direct drop ins or are they more like guarder slides? Love the channel awesome videos
Awesome Video, thx for that...but, can i put a 5.1 thumb safety to a 4.3?
1st off always great videos. Question, why do TM mags not have fill valve o-rings? Are there o-rings that fit? I cannot find any that fit. Every time I try to fill with green gas I waste as much as a fill.
Cool about interchangable slide
I’m thinking of buying a (WE Hi Capa 5.1 K type Full Metal GBB Pistol - Black) because the shop I go to doesn’t sell the TM version anymore which Is annoying but they do sell (Tokyo Marui Desert Warrior 4.3 1911 Series Gas Blowback Pistol - Tan) which one should I get?

My bbu doesnt want to come out. What's the best way to take it out without forcing it?
Don't eat to much chocolate :)
My gaurder g17 barrel is increasing my slide cycle time. Could this be due to late unlocking?
Hi KnucklesGSM, I don't really like the ambi thumb safety on my 5.1, I'm just wondering if the 4.3 singles will fit the 5.1? Thanks!
Prety good video, thanks men ;)
Where you been?
Shiiiiiet. I bought a 4.3 as it was all that was available, and I don't like the extended look of the 5.1 mags. Do you know if I can stick a ambi safety on the 4.3?
The 4.3 sight looks like my shadow sight
I'm 4 years late, but this came into my recommended and if I buy an aw custom 4.3 grip, can I put the uppers of a 5.1 on it????
I plan to get a 4.3 and the AM Infinity 2014 IMM open hybrid slide on Alpha Airsoft, will they work together?
thanks for the video man. makes the length difference in precision?

I need one for a TM 5.1
What are the differences between an open slide, a standard slide, and a sight tracker slide?
great video man... :)
have a question as well if you don't mind. for you out of those 2, which one would you pick and why? i was thinking the 4.3 is closer to me but now i'm confused... i think i'm staring to like more and more the 5.1. unfortunately none of those were in my hand (size 8 gloves)...

Thank's
it's a joy watching your videos
negative, it has a unique blow back unit and loading nozzle as well, its not 1:1 with the 1911 series making harder to find upgrades
OK I'll look for specific d45 parts even though the list it'll be very short as I'm figuring out.Thank you you saved me lot of bucks:)
AM needs to re-release the oem ops tactical 4.3 slides again as i think the oem slide looks like best for gold match and 4.3 if you wanna keep it all black and stock looking.
is it possible to make a custom WE hi capa that works well.
Can u make a video on how u tap ur frames cuz I don't want to mess up and I would like to know how u do it
thanks a ton. if you have a scale, could you weigh them real quick? all sites say the 5.1 is 950g but i seriously doubt that given the plastic body.
Thats around the average weight, remember its not 100% plastic, the frame is metal along with bbu etc
Heyy ummm i have a Echo 1 Timber Wolf and i was wondering what slides i can get for it becuase i dont know if u can use the airsoft masterpiece ones cause its a different brand
I think the only one you can get is echo one extreme Timberwolves
is that glock pad for airsoft ? if so where can i get one
How is the 4.3 going to compare in accuracy to the 5.1? Is it going to be that big of a difference?
how do u tell the difference from the two
hello i got the kjw hicapa and was wondering if it will fit in a we 5.1 hicapa kydex holster i am new to airsoft so sorry if it a dumb question
It'll fir
+The Stereotypical stereotype fit
ok thanks
I noticed that a lot of your guns don't have thumb safeties on both sides, is that something that's just personal preference or is there a benefit? And does it require any specialist parts? I'm not a fan of thumb safeties, would they be able to be removed? Loving the videos, learning a lot :)
I was wondering if there's an easy way to remove the Orange tip from a stock tm 5.1 cuz I just got mine from evike and I wanted to remove it. Would just pliers work or what? Thanks
Heat it up with a heat gun. (Take inner barrel out first) and take pliers an take it out!
AidanAirsoft It can be screwed off with a hex key, mine came off fairly easily.
Tbh u just pop it out no heat required at all I used a screwdriver or a flat head to take it out
Thank u.
Can I fit an aftermarket 5.1 slide (AM open slides) on my hi capa xtreme? Since is full auto i dont know if its a good idea
yea you can
Hey man. Big fan of your work and I have a business question. Just got a 5.1 and looking to trick it out. Can we email?
So if I have a 4.3 I can go to a 5.1
When will you do videos again?
I think I saw you use a 6" or 7" extended inner barrel in a different Video for a TM mod, but I think I also heard you reference the 4.3 slide, was this because you had to use the 4.3 slide?
im not sure i follow the question here sorry bud
Besides the part that make a tm extreme 45, full auto, does it have the same internals as a tm 5.1.
im pretty sure it is a 4.3 but idk if its the same
Hey man! Love your videos. Would you be willing to sell and ship me a cool aftermarket slide for my WE G17? I'm starting to upgrade my Glock and I always go to your videos for reference and ideas! Let me know! Thanks
What is your opinion on co2? Specifically for glocks
I know you probably don't care... But in my experience co2 is just way to hard to put in to the mag and it didn't last very long.
Hi, Knuckles!
I Have a question about the new GunsModify SAI slides (Specificly the costa version with the RMR and all that jazz)
Im having troubles installing the trigger unit. The video you already have up on it is different, its a older version than the one I have here.. Do you have any ideas on it? I cant seem to get to install the safety on it :/
what's difference between standard Black TM 5.1 vs. TM Silver 5.1 Stainless with internal parts
is it only difference with paint that pills off on silver or?
can u link me the green dot sights that you have in there? are they glow-in-the-dark? what about that outer barrel for 4.3 that is silver?
Those are UAC sights for Hi-Capa along with the 4.3 Outer Barrel, check Evike for them
thank you for the quick reply!
Do you mind if I ask a few more questions? I'm about to get a TM 4.3 since 5.1 are way too hard to find where I live.
I would probably buy a tm 5.1, 4.3 has less parts
I don't have access to the 5.1 :(
Can I just buy the slide and slide components for the 5.1 when I need to replace stock?
Barba Airsoft yes. but it will look funny. he explained your question on here.
Where do you buy gunsmithbros 4.3 slides?
Nachohtt a-airsoft, agunmate, prog4
hey knuckles. I love your work and have recently bought a tm 5.1 hi capa and i fell in love with it. It is way more accurate than my M4 SMG that i use and I'm thinking about making it my primary.

Anyone have an opinion on the the 5ku slides?
Is the 5.1 mag compateble to 4.3?
yes
@@KnucklesGSM Thanks you
The sky
How did you get your tm glocks?
Alpha Airsoft
Wdym the 4.3 silver has nicer furniture? The fact it's silver is better?
the dual stainless one is a nice finish just better looking/feels better which is subjective
a 4.3 slide on a 5.1 wouldnt that be like shortsroking it and would prevent the slide from locking?
Bierce88 no
👍👍👍
hey knuckles in order to install
a new slide do you need to buy a new frame
+Austin Ausmus No
k thanks SlinginBBs
What bbs should I use for these gun
if you upgrade the barrel and bucking, i really like using .28s and above, otherwise .25s is a good for non upgrades
Thanks man I was confused cause people were talking me to get .25 bbs but it said it only take .20 bbs lol
Hey could you do a video on how to fix a leak mag, a ref at tac dropped my WE mag and i can hear a see leak. Thanks :)
