Army Hi-Capa 5.1 Gas Blowback Pistol (R611 – Black)
The Army Armament R611 is a black gas blowback pistol built on the Hi-Capa 5.1 platform, the double-stack competition pistol design that has become one of the most popular in airsoft. Retailers describe the R611 as an XL-style 2011-type pistol with a ported slide and a stippled grip, giving it a modern competition look.
Army Armament produces a wide range of Hi-Capa and 2011-pattern pistols, and the R611 is one of its competition-styled models. It suits players who want a fast-handling, good-looking sidearm for skirmishing or practical shooting games, and owners who like a pistol that can be personalised with the wide range of Hi-Capa parts available.
Compatibility
The R611 uses Hi-Capa pattern gas magazines. Army Armament magazines are the safest choice for spares; many other Hi-Capa magazines will fit, but test a spare before relying on it in a game. The lower rail accepts compact pistol lights and lasers, and holsters must suit a 5.1-length slide and any accessory fitted. Check the manual for the recommended gas.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine’s fill valve and seals every few fills, and store magazines with a little gas in them so the seals stay seated. Do not overfill, and in cold weather let magazines warm up naturally rather than heating them.
Wipe the slide rails and outer barrel with a thin film of silicone oil now and then, clean the inner barrel with a rod and soft patch, and use good quality seamless BBs. Never use petroleum-based oils on the seals, and keep the pistol and magazines away from heat and direct sunlight.
Who is it for?
Players who want a competition-styled Hi-Capa with a modern ported slide and a generous magazine capacity, whether for skirmishing, practical shooting games or as the basis of a custom build.
Please note: Gas and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas, and check your site’s rules and power limits before play.
