Yes, that is indeed a WE Airsoft Katana M4, albeit updated and modified to the liking of Booligan.. "When I got the WE Katana, I was impressed with it in stock form. Figured an update the electronics in the form of the latest gen ASCU and hop-up unit, as well as a Neo motor from ASG would modernize things a bit!"

Part of the Doorbuster Deals for the Airsoftcon 2014, Matt talks about the WE Airsoft Full Metal M4 AEG with the Katana System... "The WE-Tech KATANA system is a revolutionary concept that utilizes a replaceable upper cylinder unit much like Systema's PTW rifle. The innovative cylinder design allows for simple, easy and fast swaps of the upper end of the gearbox making the rifle adaptable to all scenarios of Airsoft gaming.

Airsoftology has been busy in the past two months, picking up the pace when there was a big gap in their video releases early in the year and this is their last AEG review for 2013... "Could the modular Katana system from WE be the affordable alternate to the Systema PTW? We dig deep with a full 'Gear Guide' tech review to find out!"

For those who are not familiar with WE Airsoft's Katana Gearbox System, WE Airsoft Europe have come up with this poster explaining about the Adaptive Gearbox System, or Katana to give it a more awesome term as it represents the beautiful but deadly swords used by Samurais. Many would compare it to the System PTW series due the Cylinders and even the ICS AEGs for the split gearbox, but it's up to you to make up your mind if such system will help you in the airsoft battlefield.

WE Airsoft Europe sent in a poster containing WE Airsoft products that can be ordered by interested retailers in the region. Their much well-received Katana Series are in stock including the Katana Raptor in Black and Tan colours. For those who need the Katana Cylinders, those are also available, plus the magazines that can be used with the AEGs. Also in stock is the 999 series, which is basically their G36-like series.
