We should get a mag capability sheet going. So far I know the Elite Force Mid caps do not work.

Some people on this forum have actually purchased this gun. Since it's a decent amount into the season, I was wondering if anyone has anymore impressions on how it functions?

I replaced my cut off lever and anti-reversal latch and now my spring release doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

I got a question before I get this for my birthday. Are the cylinders proprietary? Can you change the piston yourself or if your piston strips you gotta buy a new one.

You can always change a piston yourself, and when a piston strips you usually have to buy a new one...
cylinder is probably proprietary since the piston is undersize, but apparently they use ptw springs

What I meant by buying new one was buying a whole new cylinder as I watched videos on the cylinder and apparently the nozzle is attached to the piston head so I was just curious as to how you would take everything apart.

I have never seen or heard of a breaking. However, the teeth on the piston is another matter. A couple of the WE Katana's that I have seen people run are great especially when they are kept stock.

Some people are "upgrading" the gears and winding up with stripped piston racks. etc.

The cylinders heads/nozzles are the same features found in the PTW and the systema revolution gearbox, they are not taken apart like a AEG.


In a nutshell, a WE Katana is a ICS split gearbox lower with a PTW cylinder instead of the clunky ICS upper gearbox and a AEG hopup.

Wrath told me they come short stroked, so if you upgrade the gears, you need to shave some teeth off the sector gear

I understand that.. I am just not sure what I should be looking for as the gun is working but not the spring release.

from my understanding the release is connected to the selector switch somehow, I'm guess a tab that the selector hits on the outside of the mechbox shell that's hooked up to the anti reversal latch?
So without having looked inside, I'd say either a piece that works between the selector and anti reversal is missing, or the original anti reversal is proprietary and has a release mechanism on it?

I've wrote a small description about main difference between PTW and Katana air cylinder.

There is also a compatibility list of each component.

I got my informations regarding Katana in your forum ad i hope my review could help somebody in the same way.

If interested i can translate everything for you. Let me know.
