The CO2 Hi-Capa to end all Hi-Capas: The Baba Yaga

New airsoft guns come out all the time. This fact is not news. However, when something comes to market that is truly remarkable, especially when it’s from function, that is news. The KLI Baba Yaga Hi-Capa is a fresh new CO2 powered take on the tried and true classic double stack 1911 design. It packs an elegant beauty with just enough flash to keep your attention. It’s unique exterior houses a design packed with performance on the inside. Most importantly, when loaded up with CO2, this immaculate airsoft pistol delivers some of the most mind blowing recoil of any airsoft gun you have ever felt.

Externals Like a Well Tailored Suit

A perfectly tailored suit does not need to rely on bright flashy colors or unnecessary frills to look good. It accentuates the body of the person wearing it, tailored to their exact dimensions for a perfect fit. A solid black suit, when tailored and fitted to the wearer is the textbook definition of class and elegance. The KLI Baba Yaga is no different.

The lines and curves on this pistol all serve a purpose. The slide serrations aid your grip when you rack the slide. The window cuts aren’t just there to flash a little color of the tastefully bronze colored outer barrel, but to lighten the slide for a faster cyclic rate. A dragon scale grip texture helps you maintain a firm grasp in adverse conditions on your airsoft pistol. The only other bit of color on this gun is a green fiber front sight for accurate shots. Every piece of this pistol has been put in place to serve purpose and accentuate the shooter. You won’t find flashy colors and extraneous accessories here because they are unnecessary. Everything coalesces into an elegant piece to make you shoot better, and it defines excellence.

 

Performance Parts Like an Italian Supercar

Inside of this elegant destroyer of airsoft opposition is a suite of internals designed to give you the edge. A light and crisp trigger gives way to a blowback unit capable of handling the raw primal power of CO2 gas. The Baba Yaga’s nozzle chambers the BB inside of a hop up purposely designed to send BBs out to distances expected of your rifle, The quality constructed barrel ensures you get consistent accurate fire every time you press the light but defined trigger. It comes together the way the highest end sports cars combine their lithe body styles with immensely powerful engines to give you peak performance. While the pistol shoots like an absolute dream, that doesn’t tell the whole story.

Recoil That Moves Mountains

The most astonishing part of shooting the KLI Baba Yaga 1911 Hicapa with CO2 is the force feedback from the recoil. It barks with thunderous presence. You can feel the whole pistol jolt with earth shaking force. This is quite possibly the closest the airsoft community has come to a replica pistol that feels like the real thing. Every pull of the trigger is an absolute delight to the shooter. With all the same ability that it aids the shooter through purposeful fitment and design, it challenges you to be the best marksman you can be to tame the titanic recoil this gun produces. Where other guns would wither and scream “Help me!” this gun commands a deafening presence and begs you to keep shooting. Every trigger pull releases a beastly shout and wrist-shaking snap before delivering your BB downrange.

A Must Have For Your Collection

Whether you are a steadfast soldier of the plastic battlefield or a collector; this gun deserves a place of pride and praise in your personal collection. It truly is a unique, awe-inspiring piece sure to develop a cult-like following once it makes its debut to the masses. Other gas blow back pistols have come before. More gas blowback pistols will follow this release. We’re convinced that the recoil and performance of this subdued-yet-striking sidearm will be a nigh-impossible mountain for most manufacturers to push past.

Let’s Chat About The Grandaddy of Gas Pistols: The Airsoft HiCapa

We’re back with another issue of top questions, this time about the Airsoft Hi-Capa. This pistol is the grand father of gas pistols. It’s been around for a long time and is one of the most customizable models you can purchase today. We’ve compiled all of the the most sought after questions about airsoft Hi-Capas for you below!

 

Which is better: Green Gas or CO2?

Whichever one works best for your gun is the best choice. Some pistols like the Tokyo Marui models run best on duster gas, due to their construction, while other models can handle green gas better. We recommend you check the specifications on Airsoft GI to make sure that you are using the correct gas for your sidearm. When in doubt, you can always reach out to us and ask as well!

 

If We had to pick though, get yourself a gun that does both, like the KLI Baba Yaga!

 

Is The Tokyo Marui 5.1 a worthy sidearm?

Absolutely.

Just be aware of what you are paying for. Most of TM’s price tag comes from how exclusive they are to the Japanese market. You can certainly buy a hi-capa that is just as high performance or upgradeable for significantly less money. The  TM model is more of a status symbol than it is the best possible option today, even though it was legendary when it released for a reason.

How Important is it to have a sidearm when you play airsoft?

This depends on where you play.

If you play indoors, your pistol is very often your primary and you definitely need one 100% of the time.

If you play outdoors, your pistol very often will be come a nice thing to have but not a requirement.

For me, I carry one every time I play, but it’s something that doesn’t get used very often on the outdoor field I play on, D14 Airsoft. It’s a “better to have and not need, than need and not have” type of item.

 

 

Whats the best Hi Capa you can buy for under $250?

There are a lot of great options for this, so we’re just going to list them below:

• TM Hi-Capa
• KLI Baba Yaga in Green Gas
• KLI Baba Yaga in CO2
• KJW Kp05
• JAG TTI Combat Master

Who Makes the best Hi-Capa?

There’s a quite a few ways to go about this.

On one hand, you’ll have the people who say “TM is the best, just get that” and they have a reasonable argument. TM makes great products, but is it the best bang for your buck?

We’d argue that KLI makes a better Hi-capa in terms of performance and build. They are rated for green gas and CO2 out of the box, which TM is not. Full metal construction definitely puts it ahead of the TM model as well. Ultimately, the “best” is subjective, and the one that fits your needs and budget is the best for you.

 

Hopefully that answers your questions.

If we missed one that you desperately need the answer to, reach out to us on social media and let us know! What topics would you like to see us cover next week?

We have the answer to your CO2 Airsoft Pistol Questions

In our last top questions blog, we covered general gas blowback pistol questions but for many of you that was not enough. We have been inundated with tons of requests for CO2 specific answers! Not being the type to leave our loyal fans hanging, we’ve got you covered this week with another Q&A about CO2 pistols!

 

What Does Blowback Mean In Relation To Airsoft?

This question was answered in our last blog, but to be more direct here’s the answer:

Blowback just means the slide functions and comes back the way you expect a real gun to work. Every time you pull the trigger, and gas is let into the system, the slide cycles to chamber the next round.

Are Blowback Weapons Worth It In Airsoft?

Short Answer: Yes.

Long Answer: Yes, because they can be some of the most realistic and high quality guns you can buy, especially for sidearms. With Co2 guns, the blowback models are typically the highest power and quality options by a landslide beating out cheaper non blowback models in performance and durability. They provide a realistic shooting experience, as well as a level of realism that other power sources have a hard time competing with.

 

 

What Do You Think Is The Best CO2 Pistol For Beginners?

While the easiest pistol for beginners to acquire is often the cheapest, we believe spending the extra money for reliability is worth it. Many players often choose a Hi-Capa style like the KLI Baba Yaga because it is a familiar and aesthetically pleasing option. Many other players choose the Elite Force 1911 for it’s legendary reliability.

Ultimately, what is best is a matter of preference, but you should focus on something with a reputable manufacturer and quality of performance. You want your first guns as a beginner to last you for a while so you can enjoy playing and not stress about repairs.

 

How Loud Is a CO2 Blowback Outside?

They are about as loud as a nail gun. Depending on the parts on the muzzle they can be a little louder or a little quieter, but typically have a similar volume to most pneumatic tools.

 

Does Airsoft Practice Improve Real Tactical Shooting Skills?

It definitely can. Dry fire practice is a powerful tool for improving shooting skills when done correctly, and airsoft is a great way to do that.  There are some differences to be mindful of such as the trigger pull and weight being different, as well as felt recoil when you shoot with gas.

Just remember to be safe when training!

How Many Rounds Can You Get Out of a CO2 Magazine?

This depends on the gun. Something like the KLI HI-capa can get over 50 rounds from one magazine. Alternatively, the Elite Force 1911 is usually a little less than that at closer to 30 rounds. Non-blowback pistols can exceed well over 100 rounds depending on the gun.

What is the Best Airsoft Glock?

We answered this question in our Glock blog, but since this is a CO2 Q&A, we’d be remiss not to include the CO2 Glock 17 by Elite Force. It is the only officially licensed line of Glock pistols and the CO2 model has fantastic recoil and realism. It’s a high quality model that is easily the best Glock replica on the market.
