CTM Tac details the lengthy development process behind their new Hi-Capa quick-swap trigger. Instead of rushing to fill out their catalog, the team spent over a year engineering a modular system that avoids the hassle of traditional screws and tools. The initial prototype relied solely on magnets, which sounded great until trade show attendees managed to pop the trigger faces off with a single finger, forcing the team back to the drawing board.
In this 4UAD Smart Airsoft review, Andrew introduces the colourful CTM Naviara Hi-Capa, an airsoft platform tailored for speedsoft that slightly resembles a tiny spaceship. He breaks down its modular design, highlighting a very lightweight slide, a hop-up unit featuring satisfyingly crisp click adjustments, and a selective fire control group that trades the right-side safety switch for a full-auto setting.
The CTM NAVIARA Hi-Capa 5.1 series takes design cues from maritime navigation and yacht aesthetics. The name combines "NAVI," representing direction and control, with "ARA," inspired by aerial fluidity. Moving away from standard Hi-Capa frameworks, the model features a split-slide design intended to balance a streamlined appearance with functional precision.
The CTM TAC feature their CNC extended rail blast shield is a dedicated accessory for Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa pistols, focusing on aesthetic style rather than mechanical performance. Carved from a single block of aluminum, it comes in short and long versions to match different builds.
CTM Tac introduces a new magazine adapter designed to allow the use of MP5 magazines with the M4ximus kit. Howard from CTM TAC explains that because many players enjoy the curved aesthetic of MP5 magazines, this component acts as a bridge for those who already own the M4-style Maximus setup. It essentially allows for a hybrid look, combining different platform styles into one functional airsoft kit.
The Hi-CAPA M4XIMUS kit is undergoing a slight makeover, moving away from its previous plastic magazine inclusion. Instead, the kit now provides a 3D-printed feed tube and an HPA gas valve adapter as shown in this CTM Tac video. This change allows you to use your original metal magazine, which is a bit like letting your favorite old pair of shoes join a fancy track team.
This ASMR video demonstrates the installation of the CTM Tac AAP-01 FUKU-2 Baby Shark upper, which is produced in long and short configurations. The CNC-machined unit includes integrated top and bottom Picatinny rails, an internal red dot slot, and a multi-brand optic adapter. Design specifications include a shark-shaped ghost ring, an open top port for TDC Hop-up compatibility, and an unthreaded compensator that does not accept tracer units.
Getting your M4XIMUS HPA kit up and running doesn't require a sledgehammer or a degree in rocket science. In this video from CTM Tac, the first step focuses on the trigger pin installation, where the main advice is to put down the heavy tools. Treating the pin like a stubborn nail with a punch tool can actually deform the feeding tunnel, leading to permanent feeding headaches. Instead, a soft mallet and a gentle touch will keep the components aligned without turning your expensive kit into a paperweight.

CTM has revealed the Hi-Capa version of the Reaper Kit, a pistol carbine conversion developed in response to requests from the shooting community. The Hi-Capa platform is frequently used by owners and is a common choice in airsoft activities, including SpeedQB and SpeedSoft. This platform is also favored by some shooters in IDPA and IPSC. Many players expressed a need for a functional way to mount a stock onto their Hi-Capa pistols to enhance stability.
