One of the first reviews of the newly released Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 Gold Match Gas Blowback Pistol was done by the reliable Yas of Hyperdouraku, with excellent photos to go with. He gives us a history of the pistol, mentioning that the Hi-Capa was first released in 2004 by Tokyo Marui, and has become a best seller and favourite amongst airsoft practical shooters.

2004 was also the year when Mach Sakai (Tatsuya Sakai) went on to become the first and only Japanese shooter to win the World Speed Shooting Championship held by the Steel Challenge Shooting Association. He also has the Gold Match pistol and here are two videos with him from Hyperdouraku.
