Raven Hi Capa 5.1 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol with BDS Sight in Black

Raven Hi Capa 5.1 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol with BDS Sight – Black

If you’re after a dependable, well-made airsoft pistol that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, the Raven Hi Capa 5.1 GBB with BDS Sight hits a sweet spot that few others do. It’s got the ruggedness you need for hard skirmishing days, paired with thoughtful features like a fibre-optic sight setup and a red dot BDS mounted right out of the box. Whether you're a CQB regular or just want a backup with bite, this Hi-Capa delivers without fuss or flare.

This gas blowback airsoft pistol is built around the Hi-Capa platform, known for its large gas capacity and upgrade potential. Raven has done well to keep things user-friendly and budget-conscious, without making you compromise on performance. The 6.03mm tightbore barrel tucked under a clean-cut aluminium alloy slide helps with accurate groupings straight out of the box. And that slide? It’s light enough for fast cycling but tough enough to shrug off regular use. No rattles, no sloppy fit—just a smooth action with a satisfying recoil snap.

The grip is where your hands will thank you. A fine-stippled, rubberised texture provides excellent traction even with gloves or in wet weather. It's comfortable, solid, and lends itself well to long game days where reliability matters. Inside, you’ve got a gas mag holding 25 rounds and packing a hefty gas reservoir. Reload less, shoot more—ideal for anyone who’s tired of swapping mags every few minutes.

Controls are laid out exactly where you’d expect for a Hi-Capa. The slide release is extended for easier reach, and the ambi safety plus beavertail safety keep things skirmish-safe while still quick on the draw. The blowback is punchy—more than you’d expect from something in this price range—and it resets crisply, ready for the next shot. Combined with the BDS red dot sight, which is adjustable for both windage and elevation, you’ve got a setup that’s fast to aim, fast to shoot, and consistent enough to win your pistol duels.

The outer barrel comes with 12mm CCW internal threading, which means you can mount a suppressor or tracer unit—though most will need a thread adapter. Down below, a full-length 20mm accessory rail opens the door to all sorts of attachments: lights, lasers, even a mini grenade launcher if you’re feeling cheeky. It's a very modular platform, so there’s loads of room to make it your own.

Performance-wise, you’re looking at around 328 FPS on green gas with 0.20g BBs. It’s right in the goldilocks zone for most UK airsoft sites—hot enough to reach out, cool enough for close-quarters. And because it’s compatible with other Hi-Capa series mags from big names like WE, TM, AW, and Vorsk, you’ve got plenty of options when it comes to spares and upgrades.

What's more, this tactical black version includes a CO2 nozzle and spare O-rings in the box, just in case you want to switch things up later. It also comes with Raven’s signature PVC patch, so you can show a bit of brand pride on your kit. Just don’t forget—being a black airsoft handgun, it’s restricted under UKARA rules, so make sure you’re registered if you’re buying.

All in all, the Raven Hi Capa 5.1 GBB pistol with BDS is a no-nonsense, performance-packed sidearm that’s ready to go from the box. Solid recoil, good gas efficiency, easy upgrades, and great handling—this one punches way above its weight.
