That is totally up to you, if anything, if you enjoy building and learning, you don't even need me, you can always just watch and learn from the many videos online or join communities! :)
I've built 400fps 4.3s but its expensive, almost counter productive, but if its what you want, there are a lot of things you'll have to do to get it high
Thanks bud! Glad to to know you heard that reset :P As for trigger job video, I won't go near it due to the fact that many people somewhat destroy their hicapas when messing around with trigger tuning, I'm sorry. If anything I'm sure maybe someone has a video on it or even a thread on it.
The TM hi-capa can handle it no problem, especially if you understand the platform and know what to do with it. Taking care of it, getting some upgrades when it does eventually break (plastic slide/loading nozzle/etc). No need to buy that green gas stuff/134a for the TM Hi-Capa, propane works just fine, take care of the gun and it will do the same for you.
think of those action aluminium valves that you put into the loading nozzle or rcc power bulbs, well mine, i modifed to make it small openings to restrict the gas flow so i could put upgrades into the upper. what I usually tell people if they want to get as close as 400 without any other upgrades, just buy the pdi 7inch, usually does the job, with that being said its why I put a flow restrictor in
The TM Hi-Capa, especially with all the upgrades you have, easily will outshine any other pistol on the market, if there is anything I'll stand by its that. Its even better when the user is skilled
I used propane ever since I got into GBB, if you take care of it, it will last longer than usual but eventually it will break, just normal thing of the gas world but it is what makes it fun (if you like maintenance, upkeep, that kind of stuff)
Minor fps difference, color difference, and wear pattern. The question is it worth it, to this day I still haven't figured it out if I like it or not hahah, but after all it is PDI and they've done wonders for me.
Won't be doing a video on that, I don't like covering things where great/potential damage can be done and I be blamed for it. Check youtube or forums for a tutorial on it, I'm sure if you search you can find something.
If you use the Nineball SAS Kit woth the 14mm pos Silencer Adapter it will cover a 6 inch barrel without a surpressor or a compensator. The barrel ends inside the 14mm adapter
propane is much cheaper and works better for me, if i want to add oil I can do so which allows me a choice whereas green gas is a ripoff here in California and comes with oil when I don't need it (I just maintain the inside of my guns)
Hey David, could be a number of different issues since you have so many different parts, won't be able to help much because I dont know if you installed all of those right either. Best theory would be a couple of things, bad magazine flow valves, worn out magazine catch, bad trigger mech and maybe worn out bucking/nozzle issue.
+KnucklesGSM sorry for bugging you with such a stupid request, but can you please link down the 6inch and the 7inch (tight bore) barrel you were talking about in the first setup? I was trying to dig out some of these without the success. Sorry again, and thank you.
Hi, I know this question is not related to the video. But can you please make a tutorial on how to tap / drill the hi capa frame for red dot mount / scope..??
I have a problem: I have a TM glock 17, SD and 5ku slide (I alternate), AIP nozzle, kjw hammer spring, and upgraded recoil rod. But my gun constantly double feeds. Sometimes it shoots fine, but after it shoots, 1bb just rolls out of the barrel. Sometimes it also double feeds. Every time I rack the slide for the first round, it's fine. But if I rack again, it seems the nozzle knocks a bb out of the feed lips and chambers another round leading to a double feed. No clue, please help
The screw size for that is a 6-32, check your local hardware store, if thats the wrong size let me know, I can't find my extra screw bags and its hard to remember everything lol -_-
Hey man love your vids! Learned a lot over the years. Question, airsoft masterpiece slides are a nice fit but are there fixed comps nice too? I was thinking of using the AM comp barrel with prog4 comp. Unless there is a place that sells both in gunsmith Bros? Thanks man. Great IG feed too!
Oh and that was AM comp from alpha airsoft and comp from prog4 on a plastic slide (I like plastic slides plus easier to hold in nineball plastic bbu) Thanks man!
Hello KnuckleGSM, im lookin to upgrade my gold match 5.1 with a uac outer barrel with a light compensator in front to sneak in a longer inner barrel. what lengt inner barrel would you recommend? longer = better? field limit here in the netherlands is 350 fps. the 5.1 has no other upgrades.
5inch pdi on a good setup can reach 350 no problem, if you dont want to upgrade anything else, then just grab a 6inch pdi , 7inch will be too much unless its extremely cold where you guys are
If I get the nine ball was front kit with out the thread adapter wil my outer barrel be able to pass through that hole. I’m running a 7 inch outer barrel
also if you ever use singe stack 1911s I am working on some custom cnc recoil control grips that I was wondering if you would review them? I wanna try to make and sell them.
Yea still do bud, and thats pretty hard as your customs are pretty nuts. I would check out a store called vainnovation.ca as they build hicapas and are based in Canada
Can u help me the screw to the rear sight fell out do u know where I can buy one and will it mess with the blowback housing or is it ok to use. With out the screw but it is kinda wobbly
Hey:D I Upgraded 9Ball Bucking And Pdi 6.01 6 Inch Inner Barrel But It Only Shoot At 328 Fps By Using 0.2G BBs With Top Gas:( What Upgrade Can Go Over 360 Fps??? Thx Bro!
Umm... Another Question Is Do Maple Leaf Aluminum Hop-Up Unit Do Their Job Well?:D I Really Wanna Upgrade That!:D YOU HELP ME A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
you may hate it, but I prefer that, not everyone follows rules or behaves, its better for the safety of the kids that it is done that way. they are the future of airsoft anyways and we need to support them or airsoft can just be another "fad".
so if the gun you have is modified some already then what sort of fps could we expect with a stock marui using these same methods, on the other hand what other sort of upgrades can you do to increase fps aside from the three ways listed here. I imagine it would have something to do with the internals but im not really all too sure.
what I have seen is that the heavier the bbs you have the more joules (of coarse) but heavier bbs seem to be effected less fps wise. I chronoed my 3.8 single stack at 290 with .2s and 280 with .25s. so far everytime I have had to pull out my pistol and shoot someone with it they call there hits so I am relatively satisfied. but jw. right now I am running basicly stock we parts (except for hammer spring, custom spring guild and springplug, ect) what is the best nozzle. valve, and piston head?
I been playing airsoft for 6 years and I used to get frustrated when they don't call the hits.... BUT NOW... I just enjoy shooting at them until they start yelling on top of their lungs... "HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT.".... then after that they call the hit at the first time.... 😁😁😁😁
hey at tac south (my field) refs always check players and sit them out when they honestly never felt it or they missed. This has happened to me way too much, any advice?
Hey Knuckles, my field limit is 360 and im trying to not go over that, but i dont have a chrono :/ what could i do to get it about there? So far i just have a nine ball 112mm power barrel. I was thinking nine ball gaskets and a maple leaf bucking.
Hey man, I'd like to know how you got that one to shoot 380 in the first place.. :/ mine doesn't even reach 280 and I'd like to fix that.. where do I start to look?
Hi, I'm from Ireland and all our Airsoft guns by law are only allowed to be 328 fps with a .20g bb. I don't play the game I just like target shooting out my back garden. How powerful can I make my TM Hi Capa 5.1 without having to worry about restrictions as I won't be using it for Airsoft games or competitions, just want a powerful gun to shoot in my garden. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks...
They shoot 290-300 stock. To increase the FPS, go for a nineball hop up rubber or pdi barrel From IReland as well and have experience that the above keep it just under the joule
just want to let you know that even after 7 years your videos on hi capas are still the best and most informative. Thanks!
That is totally up to you, if anything, if you enjoy building and learning, you don't even need me, you can always just watch and learn from the many videos online or join communities! :)
thats totally up to you, in the end, use what makes you happy, if you like your pistol and it does work for you, keep it!
The correct term is, the tighter the barrel, the higher fps you get, paired with longer barrel. PDI does a great job at both for offering options
The infinity slide is BEAUTIFULLLLL
I've built 400fps 4.3s but its expensive, almost counter productive, but if its what you want, there are a lot of things you'll have to do to get it high
The infinity set up for sure, god I want that.
Thanks bud! Glad to to know you heard that reset :P As for trigger job video, I won't go near it due to the fact that many people somewhat destroy their hicapas when messing around with trigger tuning, I'm sorry. If anything I'm sure maybe someone has a video on it or even a thread on it.
Dat Infinity...Damn... Making me almost rethink building a Springfield Operator from a TM Night Warrior.
I will sir. Glock is almost done. Need to buy an Allen key so I can install a gunsmodify SAI trigger. Your videos help a lot.
The TM hi-capa can handle it no problem, especially if you understand the platform and know what to do with it. Taking care of it, getting some upgrades when it does eventually break (plastic slide/loading nozzle/etc). No need to buy that green gas stuff/134a for the TM Hi-Capa, propane works just fine, take care of the gun and it will do the same for you.

The TM Hi-Capa, especially with all the upgrades you have, easily will outshine any other pistol on the market, if there is anything I'll stand by its that. Its even better when the user is skilled
the trigger reset sounds amazing! You need to do a trigger job video.
Build whatever makes you happy! :)
Thanks for all the help
Thanks, I will look into replacing some of the original parts.
I used propane ever since I got into GBB, if you take care of it, it will last longer than usual but eventually it will break, just normal thing of the gas world but it is what makes it fun (if you like maintenance, upkeep, that kind of stuff)
Hi nice guide! Direct and on the point.
Minor fps difference, color difference, and wear pattern. The question is it worth it, to this day I still haven't figured it out if I like it or not hahah, but after all it is PDI and they've done wonders for me.
No problem bud, and congrats! Its a nice feeling when you complete projects :)
So for all airsoft guns the longer the inner barrel the higher the FPS will get right?
Well said bud! Hope all is well :)
Won't be doing a video on that, I don't like covering things where great/potential damage can be done and I be blamed for it. Check youtube or forums for a tutorial on it, I'm sure if you search you can find something.
Showed it so you can see how the mount looks like
If you use the Nineball SAS Kit woth the 14mm pos Silencer Adapter it will cover a 6 inch barrel without a surpressor or a compensator. The barrel ends inside the 14mm adapter
I absolutely love your videos. So thankful for all the information and great attitude for the craft/sport!
How come you use propane vs Green gas?
propane is much cheaper and works better for me, if i want to add oil I can do so which allows me a choice whereas green gas is a ripoff here in California and comes with oil when I don't need it (I just maintain the inside of my guns)
Iv'e looked everywhere I cant find anything on TM trigger jobs.
Hey David, could be a number of different issues since you have so many different parts, won't be able to help much because I dont know if you installed all of those right either. Best theory would be a couple of things, bad magazine flow valves, worn out magazine catch, bad trigger mech and maybe worn out bucking/nozzle issue.
+KnucklesGSM sorry for bugging you with such a stupid request, but can you please link down the 6inch and the 7inch (tight bore) barrel you were talking about in the first setup? I was trying to dig out some of these without the success. Sorry again, and thank you.
for the GSB one, 6inch, for the SD one, it can house up to a 7inch
What do you call the piece that you take off at 2:48. I have the rail part, but idk where ti find the front piece.
nineball SAS kit
What did you do to make it be shooting at 340 ish FPS?
Hi, I know this question is not related to the video. But can you please make a tutorial on how to tap / drill the hi capa frame for red dot mount / scope..??
How long are the barrels?
What's the diffrence between a PDI palasonite barrel and a stainless steel? Does it not wear as quick on the hop up unit, fps diffrence?
I have a problem: I have a TM glock 17, SD and 5ku slide (I alternate), AIP nozzle, kjw hammer spring, and upgraded recoil rod. But my gun constantly double feeds. Sometimes it shoots fine, but after it shoots, 1bb just rolls out of the barrel. Sometimes it also double feeds. Every time I rack the slide for the first round, it's fine.

What is the correct inner barrel length when using comp barrel kits?
on evike a 1911 by WE its black and brown costs 60 bucks
non blow back co2 shooting at 400~500 fps.
In the beginning of the video when you first chrono it, the gun is already shooting hot. What mods does it have?
Long barrel or the suppressor made really the fps increased bro?
Where can I get that last upper receiver? I want it!
Why is your red dot mounted like that
Hi. This methods only increase the velocity or also improve the accuracy. Regards.
FPS mostly, accuracy is too hard to prove.
Hey man love your vids! Learned a lot over the years. Question, airsoft masterpiece slides are a nice fit but are there fixed comps nice too? I was thinking of using the AM comp barrel with prog4 comp. Unless there is a place that sells both in gunsmith Bros? Thanks man. Great IG feed too!

Is it ok to use propane with a stock tm hi capa
Hello KnuckleGSM, im lookin to upgrade my gold match 5.1 with a uac outer barrel with a light compensator in front to sneak in a longer inner barrel. what lengt inner barrel would you recommend? longer = better? field limit here in the netherlands is 350 fps. the 5.1 has no other upgrades.
5inch pdi on a good setup can reach 350 no problem, if you dont want to upgrade anything else, then just grab a 6inch pdi , 7inch will be too much unless its extremely cold where you guys are
I don't suppose you know of any good setups to get to or close to 400 in a 4.3 extreme do you?
I have a m9 kwa and that's what I mainly run besides a tri shot. Do you think selling that and buying one of these handguns would change anything?
My back sight screw broke on my TM 5.1 do you what screw size it is Rey need to know!
If I get the nine ball was front kit with out the thread adapter wil my outer barrel be able to pass through that hole. I’m running a 7 inch outer barrel
just curious, whats a "flow restrictor" where does it go? and how hard does the 7" upper shoot without it?
do u have a link to buy all of the first method pls ? (the expensive one) thx and good vid'
most of the reading I've done says yes
also if you ever use singe stack 1911s I am working on some custom cnc recoil control grips that I was wondering if you would review them? I wanna try to make and sell them.
whats a better inner barrel nine ball or pdi
what inner barrel is it on the second option
KnucklesGSM my field allows 400fps with .2's im getting a we hicapa 5.1 what would you recommend doing first I dont want to run suppressors
First thing is to get a TM Hi Capa 5.1
Where can we find outerbarrels that include compensators? Alpha Airsoft are out of stock.
same, looking for that and can't find anywhere.
Same. Have you found it?
Jorge Martins nope
Since this is from 2013, is there any new methods?
Honestly I'd say this video is still solid, of course there are new companies, new products but the concept is still valid
KnucklesGSM Thanks for the reply. Do you still do custom work? Also I live in Canada, is it possible for me to get work done by you?
Yea still do bud, and thats pretty hard as your customs are pretty nuts. I would check out a store called vainnovation.ca as they build hicapas and are based in Canada
Hi how do i make my armorer works hi capa full auto
Goyan Disable the disconnector
Can u help me the screw to the rear sight fell out do u know where I can buy one and will it mess with the blowback housing or is it ok to use. With out the screw but it is kinda wobbly
wat do u think about the 500 fps WE 1911 ?
So , where are the fps increase setups??
? did you watch the video?
hey knuckles heard anything bad about the WE33?? like the loading nozzle and return spring on the 18
Hey:D
I Upgraded 9Ball Bucking And Pdi 6.01 6 Inch Inner Barrel
But It Only Shoot At 328 Fps By Using 0.2G BBs With Top Gas:(
What Upgrade Can Go Over 360 Fps???
Thx Bro!
either your chrono is messed up, gas, temperature or gun is messed up lol
Umm...
Another Question Is
Do Maple Leaf Aluminum Hop-Up Unit Do Their Job Well?:D
I Really Wanna Upgrade That!:D
YOU HELP ME A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
yea they work nice, i like em for glocks, havent tested the hicapa
Max z hi I want to buy one like that can you help me i don't know you facebook i don't know you email i have no idea how to contact you
what you wanna buy
bucking and inner barrel can be found at red wolf airsoft:D
What is the last rail? Its beautiful! It isnt built in with the compensator right?
Nineball 5.1 SAS kit
Thats the compensator kit?
Hi. In the first option, should you have to change the inner barrel too or only add the compensator? Thanks and regards.
inner barrel increases the fps, comp - protect/swag
With the SAS mount, would I need a short dust cover or can I also use a long dust cover?
works only on tm 5.1 frame
for the stock tm 5.1 , never found out, sorry bud
Its a nice slide :)
Hey knuckles I was wondering if I can help me out I was wondering how I would get a little over 400 fps what parts would I need thanks
Okay thanks for your replies :)
So if I were to put a 9.4in angel custom tight bore in my 5.1 it would be well over 400fps with .20's?
Would vaseline work as a lubricant?
WHAT IS THAT BLUE GRIP IN THE BACK RIGHT??!! I want it sooo badly. How much for it
its just a sand paper grip, check out www.gasblowbackcentral.com/ they have the blue grip tape for hicapa grips
you may hate it, but I prefer that, not everyone follows rules or behaves, its better for the safety of the kids that it is done that way. they are the future of airsoft anyways and we need to support them or airsoft can just be another "fad".
Where can you find that outer barrel with the compensator? I can't find it anywhere

hey at tac south (my field) refs always check players and sit them out when they honestly never felt it or they missed. This has happened to me way too much, any advice?
Bentertainment aim for skin thats about it, since you can't go to 400fps
I mean like they check me, then they either miss or I don't feel it and they sit me out for chewing when I never do
*cheating
Bentertainment wear less shit
+im watching you, be very afraid. or he could just stop cheating.......
I hate how the standard FPS for indoor is 350, years ago before airsoft got filled with kids CQB was 400FPS with no engagement.
I was wondering if that guster pro thing would work for a TM glock 18c?
Im having a really hard time finding a Compensator Kit (outer barrel + compensator) for the 4.3, any ideas?
sorry for asking a lot, is just that my Hi-Capa is finally here and I'm feeling like I need the FPS bump.
just keep looking, other then that you run a threaded barrel
How much fps do you get with 0.3 with the fixed comp?
Do you play with propane?
What fps do you think a 303mm vsr barrel will produce in a 5.1 hi-capa?
Do you know the length of the barrel that after it, the fps wont be boosted?
dimitris agg not sure on that bud sorry!
KnucklesGSM Thanks anyway
do you customize pistols or Complete uppers?
Hey Knuckles, my field limit is 360 and im trying to not go over that, but i dont have a chrono :/ what could i do to get it about there? So far i just have a nine ball 112mm power barrel. I was thinking nine ball gaskets and a maple leaf bucking.
jakeblue88 you need a chrono bud to even start to see where you are at
KnucklesGSM ok thx :)
What mags to you prefer? When I use tm mags they spray when i fill them (not all the gas goes into the mag, suggest any fix?
plumber tape your fill valve and use it in the tm mag, that will help with the spray. my favorite are currently prowins
Thank you!
did you sell the gun?
Hey man, I'd like to know how you got that one to shoot 380 in the first place.. :/ mine doesn't even reach 280 and I'd like to fix that.. where do I start to look?
Okay, thank you =)
I'm interested in buying a KP08 i found for $50. Would this modification be applicable to it?
Do you have a video how to upgrade TM Socom 23? I want it to shoot upwards of 400 fps.
No sorry, check forums maybe
thats subjective answer, i use different types of nozzles, i don't have a "best" just more of a top 3 ish for me.
It sure is man! :)
Hi, I'm from Ireland and all our Airsoft guns by law are only allowed to be 328 fps with a .20g bb. I don't play the game I just like target shooting out my back garden. How powerful can I make my TM Hi Capa 5.1 without having to worry about restrictions as I won't be using it for Airsoft games or competitions, just want a powerful gun to shoot in my garden. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks...
They shoot 290-300 stock.
To increase the FPS, go for a nineball hop up rubber or pdi barrel
From IReland as well and have experience that the above keep it just under the joule
My slide has already cracked and i have only used it 3 time
