Description

    KATANA WEM-4 carbine replica

Another replica
which is designed by the WE company and which introduces a number of innovatory
technical solutions and which sets a new standard among the AEG type airsoft
replicas.

Just like it takes places in the case of the previous models of this
company, the replica is made of a homogenous
alloy of zinc and aluminum, steel and high quality nylon plastic material. It
characterizes itself with the perfect fitting of parts and the high aesthetic
level of make. You will not find any lose parts in the replica’s construction –
the whole seems to be a solid homogenous piece.

The
structurally reinforced nylon which was used
in the creation of the front grip, which also holds the battery, the pistol
grip and the stock presents itself perfectly among the products of the other
manufacturers and similar price level – both ,if it comes to the visual aspect
and the durability against mechanical damage.

The coloristic of the metal elements – of the body, the barrel, the stock’s
pipe and also the other minor metal elements – leaves nothing more to be
desired.

The inner construction itself is a compromise between innovation and functionality.
The main spring release lever which is
connected with the firing mode selector lever is on of the interesting and
characteristic modifications. Whenever one puts the firing mode to SAFE, the
spring is released thanks to which there are no unnecessary frictions inside of
the gearbox. This allows to significantly extend
the lifespan of the mechanical elements and also to preserve the main
spring’s power.

The most important feature of the replica is the bipartite powering unit
which is named KATANA and which consists of a gearbox and an integrated
pneumatic unit. Despite the fact that such idea has been known in the airsoft
environment for a few years now – usually known under the name of the bipartite
gearbox – the WE company managed to introduce a number of functional and essential changes and preserve a high level of
compatibility with the TM standard at the same time. This allows for an easy
access to the tune up and spare elements what is the WE company’s significant
and doubtless advantage over other known replicas equipped with a bipartite
gearbox and which are available on the market.

The elements of the pneumatic unit itself are also made with the highest
attention to details. The homogenous polycarbonate
Hop-Up chamber  fulfills its role
perfectly: the hop-up adjustment is done just like in any standard replica of
this kind – we gain access to the adjustment system after pulling the cocking
handle. It is worth mentioning that the bolt carrier’s dummy which covers the adjustment
system goes back to its original position after pushing the bolt catch lever.

The reinforced bipartite gearbox
which is built on 8mm bearings hides in itself metal thread-wheels
and a light polycarbonate piston.  The whole is powered by a motor which has got
an increased torque.

The
bipartite KATANA type gearbox allows a quick change of the
muzzle velocity by changing a homogenous and integrated pneumatic unit. There are
three variants which provide different muzzle velocities. There are three units
available:

• Red – the default pneumatic unit which is mounted in the replica and which is equipped
  with a M110 main spring. It is
  perfect to provide fire on middle distances.
• Blue – an optional lowered power pneumatic unit  and which is equipped with a M90 main spring. It is perfect to
  provide fire  in the CQB/CQC type
  skirmishes.
• Gray – an optional increased power pneumatic unit  and which is equipped with a M130 main spring. The perfect
  alternative to provide assault operations on middle and long distances.

The change of
the pneumatic unit is extremely easy and lasts, literally, seconds. It is done
by “breaking” the replica upon detaching the rear mounting pin, sliding out the
actually used pneumatic unit and putting in the new one (no mount is necessary
– only placing the unit in the upper receiver is) and closing the body. This
operation may be done in any conditions and is absolutely intuitive.

Thanks to the basic muzzle velocity of about
370 FPS which is guaranteed by the red pneumatic unit makes the replica
perfect to operate on middle distances.

The replica is fully prepared to operate with the LiPo and LiFe batteries.

The replica is equipped with a top 22mm RIS rail, a set of front RIS rails
and an adjustable stock. There is a carrying handle mounted on the top RIS rail
which is equipped with integrated iron aiming sights. It is possible attach any
optical and electronic aiming devices when you take the carrying handle of. Thanks
to the adjustable stock which is ended with an anti-skid surfaced stock’s foot
it is possible to adapt the replica to the built and preferences of the
shooter. The default flash-hider is placed on a 14mm counter-clockwise thread  what allows to attach a sound suppressor in
its place.

There is a spare steel hi-cap type magazine holding 300 BB pellets included
in the set with replica.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the movie material delivered by
the manufacturer of the replica – the WE company. Important: the outer
appearance of the replica presented in the material may be slightly different
that the appearance of the product available in the short – both, if it comes
to the color and the markings. The outer appearance of the product offered by
the shop is shown in the picture.

We highly recommend using dedicated WE magazines.
