KATANA WEM-4 carbine replica

Description

KATANA WEM-4 carbine replica

Another replica designed by WE that introduces a number of innovative technical solutions and sets a new standard among AEG type airsoft replicas.

As with the previous models from this company, the replica is made from a homogeneous alloy of zinc and aluminium, steel and high-quality nylon plastic. It is characterised by the perfect fit of the parts and the high aesthetic level of the finish. There are no loose parts in the construction of the replica - the whole looks like a solid, homogeneous piece.

The structurally reinforced nylon which was used in the manufacture of the front grip, which also holds the battery, the pistol grip and the stock, presents itself perfectly among the products of other manufacturers and similar price levels - both in terms of the visual aspect and the durability against mechanical damage.

The colouring of the metal elements - the housing, the barrel, the stock tube and also the other smaller metal elements - leaves nothing to be desired.

The internal design itself is a compromise between innovation and functionality. The interesting and characteristic modifications include the Main release leverwhich is connected to the selector lever for the firing mode. Whenever the firing mode is set to SAFE, the spring is released, avoiding unnecessary friction inside the gearbox. This makes it possible to significantly extend the service life of the mechanical elements and maintain the force of the main spring.

The most important feature of the replica is the two-part drive unit, which is called KATANA and consists of a gearbox and an integrated pneumatic unit. Although this idea has been known in the airsoft environment for a number of years - usually under the name bipartite gearbox - the WE company has succeeded in developing some Functional and significant changes while maintaining a high level of compatibility with the TM standard. This allows easy access to the tuning and replacement elements, which is a significant and undoubted advantage of WE over other well-known replicas equipped with a two-part gearbox available on the market.

The elements of the pneumatic unit itself are also manufactured with the utmost attention to detail. The homogeneous Polycarbonate hop-up chamber fulfils its task perfectly: the hop-up adjustment is carried out as with any standard replica of this type - the adjustment system is accessed by pulling the tensioning handle.

The Reinforced two-piece gearboxwhich is based on 8mm bearings is constructedconceals metal threaded wheels and a lightweight Polycarbonate flask. The whole thing is driven by a motor with increased torque.

The two-piece KATANA gearbox allows the muzzle velocity to be changed quickly by changing a homogeneous and integrated pneumatic unit. There are three variants that enable different muzzle velocities. Three units are available:

• Red – the standard pneumatic unit, which is mounted in the replica and equipped with a M110 is equipped with a main spring. It is perfect for firing at medium distances.
• Blue – An optional lowered pneumatic unit, which is equipped with a M90 mainspring is equipped. It is perfect for delivering fire in CQB/CQC type skirmishes.
• Grey – an optional pneumatic unit with increased power, which is equipped with a M130 main spring. The perfect alternative for storm applications on medium and long distances.

Replacing the pneumatic unit is extremely easy and literally only takes seconds. To do this, the replica is "broken open" after loosening the rear mounting pin, the used pneumatic unit is pushed out and the new one inserted (no assembly is required, just inserting the unit into the upper receiver) and the housing is closed. This procedure can be carried out under all conditions and is absolutely intuitive.

Thanks to the basic estuary speed of around 370 FPS, which is guaranteed by the red pneumatic unitthe replica is perfect for use at medium distances.

The replica is designed for operation with LiPo- and LiFe-batteries.

The replica is equipped with an upper 22mm RIS rail, a set of front RIS rails and an adjustable stock. A carrying handle is mounted on the upper RIS rail, which is equipped with an integrated iron sight. If you remove the carrying handle, you can attach any optical and electronic aiming devices. Thanks to the adjustable stock, which ends with a non-slip buttstock, it is possible to adapt the replica to the shooter's build and preferences. The standard flash hider is mounted on a 14mm thread anti-clockwise which makes it possible to attach a silencer in its place.

The set with the replica includes a replacement steel hi-cap magazine with 300 BB pellets.

We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the film material supplied by the manufacturer of the replica - the company WE. Important: The external appearance of the replica presented in the material may differ slightly from the appearance of the commercially available product - both in terms of colour and markings. The external appearance of the product offered in the shop can be seen in the picture.

We strongly recommend the use of suitable WE magazines.
