NightFlare — Hi-Capa 5.1 Custom Pistol

Bold. Loud. Unmistakable. The NightFlare is a purpose-built Hi-Capa 5.1 that turns a field pistol into a full-on showpiece and workhorse. Black primary finish with aggressive orange highlights, a stout HPA conversion option, beefed-up internals for crisp recoil, and a compact foldable stock make this pistol equally at home blazing tracers at night or dominating CQB.

What it is

Built around a Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 5.1 GBB (Black) and finished with bright orange accents, NightFlare blends form and function:

• Dr Black Type 505 aluminum slide (orange) and matching Dr Black Dinging outer barrel (orange) for a lightweight, CNC aesthetic and a distinctive “ding” with every shot.

• AEX RMR Red-dot (orange) on a Weaver mount for lightning-fast target acquisition.

• PTS EPM1-S 170-round enhanced polymer midcap (black) for reliable capacity without the bulge of a hi-cap.

• CTM Reaper stock adapter + CTM TAC TwinFold Fixed Picatinny Stock (4.2") for shoulder stability when you need it.

• AIP 140% enhanced recoil/hammer spring to tighten the trigger cycle and sharpen follow-ups.

Key features & benefits

Striking visual identity

• Matte black body contrasted with anodized orange slide and outer barrel — NightFlare grabs attention without shouting. Orange RMR and slide accents create a signature look that’s instantly recognizable on the field.

Performance-minded slide & barrel

• The Dr Black Type 505 slide is CNC aluminum and lightened for quicker cycling and a crisp, premium feel. The Dr Black “Dinging” outer barrel adds style and a satisfying tonal snap on each shot while providing 11mm CW threading for muzzle accessories.

Fast aiming, fast hits

• AEX RMR sight mounted on a Weaver adapter gives a compact, low-profile red dot with high contrast dot in orange trim — fast target acquisition for CQB and skirmish work.

Stable when you need it

• The CTM Reaper adapter converts your Hi-Capa frame to accept the CTM TAC TwinFold Fixed Picatinny Stock (4.2") — foldable for transport, rigid and comfortable when deployed. Great for players who jump between pistol and HPA/PDW style setups.

Reliable feed

• PTS EPM1-S 170-round enhanced polymer midcap — realistic profile, dependable feeding, and easy loading for extended play without the snags of hi-caps.

Tuned internals for snappy response

• AIP 140% enhanced recoil/hammer spring sharpens hammer strike and helps ensure consistent cycling with heavier slides and HPA conversions.

Maximus Kit — the Heart of the HPA conversion

NightFlare can be a classic GBB showpiece or a true HPA performer thanks to the CTM Hi-Capa Maximus HPA kit (Black). This build includes a dedicated section for the Maximus kit because it fundamentally changes the pistol’s character.

What the Maximus kit adds:

• Full HPA conversion that replaces gas operation with regulated high-pressure air for rock-steady FPS and cyclic consistency shot-to-shot.

• Tunable dwell/air settings for field-legal FPS across different sites and extremely consistent groups at range.

• Reduced slide and hammer stress (and faster lock times) when paired with the lightweight Dr Black slide and AIP springs.

• Cleaner operation in cold or variable temperatures compared with green gas — ideal for long events and tracer use.

• When combined with the CTM Reaper adapter and TwinFold stock, the Maximus kit turns NightFlare into a compact PDW-style HPA platform that points like a pistol but shoots like a precision carbine.

Suggested setup with Maximus: tune regulator to your site's limit, keep the AIP 140% springs for reliable hammer engagement, and pair with the PTS midcap to preserve a realistic reload flow.
