Shouldn't you change gears in a complete set anyway? Just makes more sense to me in the end! Either way, I've used different motors in my ICS and with no problems!

does anyone know the release date for this?

Apparently it's supposed to be released any time now. I still think I'm going to pick up the previous version as a starter M4, maybe sell it after a while and get the new gun.

anyone have any idea where to purchase this? or.... any information at all?

it hasnt been released yet.

i emailed them about the Release date they said sometime in mid December apparently

Yeah, I bet we won't see this gun 'til well into the year.

maybe they ran into an issue with the upper receiver cracking/splitting, since it doesnt have a rear tap, and is held down by the cylinder section of the gearbox.

From the pics and vids I've seen it looks like that gb will fit any body that slides together to lock the rear of the upper to lower. Just would need to slide upper off then pop out upper gb. I'd love to get my hands on one to tinker with....

Definitely saving my pennies for one of these or WE's other M4 AEG.

The way the gun is constructed, it looks almost as if you purchase the current iteration of the WE M4 AEG, you may be able to install the Katana system in it. Anyone have any thoughts on this? What would be really awesome is if the katana gearbox was somehow compatible with their GBB's, but that's asking for too much.

looks like the first round of Katana AEGs are ready. these are the ones without the Raptor Handguard
