Common Questions about Inokatsu M4 Series

Q: What is the body made of?
A: Forged aluminum (not steel as originally rumored)

Q: What parts are steel?
A: Front site, barrel, flash hider, stock sling loop, trigger, bolt catch, bolt carrier, dust cover, body pins, selector, hammer, barrel lock nut and plate. Bolt is made of aluminum but the carrier is cnc steel. Stock tube and KAC MK18 RAS, trigger guard and buffer are made of aluminum.

Q: Does it take WE mags?
A: No it does not. It only takes WA Regular or S-Type 50 Round magazines at this time. CO2 Short magazines are currently in production by Inokatsu with an unknown production/delivery date.

Q: What powers the gun?
A: Green Gas (Propane – 100 PSI @ 21C), Red Gas (HFC 22 – 121 PSI @ 21C), and ready for CO2 (Up to 837 PSI @ 21C). Duster gas is unable to cycle the gun in it’s stock state due to the heavy upgrades.

Q: Can you use AEG barrels?
A: Uknown compatibility at this time but Prime has released a WA compatible hop up assembly that allows for AEG barrels.

Q: Real Steel Parts?
A: Rumored to take real delta ring and ras/handguards, real steel stock (unknown if real buffer tube will work). Real steel grip possible, trigger guard may need slight modification to use real steel. Magazine catch also rumored to be replaceable with real version.

Q: Performance?
A: Magazines are extremely rare and hard to come by now due to G&P releasing their WOC series M4 based of WA. No independent performance results available from me at this time until I can get my hands on a magazine. Alleged performance of 400 FPS+, backed up by user accounts and videos on youtube. Results will be posted when available.

Q: Where to buy and How Much?
A: If in Canada, contact your local retailer for details. Expect approx $1800.00 price range. Outside Canada there are several major local or overseas retailers such as RedWolf that may stock the gun.

Pros:

- Cybergun licensed Colt trademarks, stamped into receiver
- Forged receiver and stamped trademark process like real M4
- Strips and disassembles like real M4
- High quality components and finishing.
- Highly upgraded out of box with many steel components capable of taking CO2

Cons:

- Top rail slightly oversized and may require you to modify your optics or a BUIS properly.
- Top of receiver has slight wobble
- Does not include rear site or magazine
- Appears to use real steel muzzle thread which prevents attachment of your own attachments
- Shoots way to hard out of box alleged 400+ FPS and may achieve up to 475+ or higher pressure gases (CO2)

Nice review man.

I read through your post and I just wonder right now how many magazines do you have ? Thanks.

Cheers !

[Mr Jon]

I have none at this time because Inokatsu must have run into some patent troubles or something. They wont ship with their own mags until they get off their ass and release their CO2 mags. For now I have to track down WA mags... its sad because it's like Christmas denied. I can't use this wonderful gun, its quite sad lol.

Oh ! It's really shock me. So keep us update when you got the magazines. I think, my buddy is getting one too and it's on the way and since he has WA so I will ask him test it with WA magazines and see how this bad ass can do.

i hate you so much....

not really im just jealous. that is the sexiest gun i will never be able to afford

[hattrick]

Stock....400 fps.....For some reason i find that hard to believe.

Not really. I got the chance to play around with a heavily upgraded WA last fall, and the owner also had the Inokatsu (one of the first out there). I believe it clocked about 420fps.

[dragwindsor]

When my Inokatsu comes in next week, I'll chrony her to confirm.

[tunabreath]

There better be a way to lower the FPS. Y'know, for those that want to use a CQB-R for... CQB

Really though, a GBB is ideal for CQB - crisper/faster trigger response than an AEG and intimidatingly loud, plus you don't have to worry about consistency/accuracy at short range.

[swatt13]

holy smokes 1800$. hefty price tag, but it seems worth it, i like the intriguing technology/ design. now theres something for haters to rag about other than a ptw lol.

[stokes]

Is it worth the price tag Mr.jon? If you had a chance would you buy it again?

[Mr Jon]

Hard to say, though I would imagine once i've played with this to experience the full joy of a GBB rifle I probably would buy another if I could. But $1800.00 is an amount I don't want to necessarily be spending often on an airsoft item. My last large purchase was 2 years ago for my AW338 at $1300.00

[Nabisco_Lobstrosity]

I am corrupted by my WA M4. I don't think I could buy another AEG.

What's the deal with that? I know my G&P body is just like a WA factory body, and it's a known fact that they're not the same as a real-steel, but I thought Ino's were supposed to be 1:1 with a real-steel body. I guess not

Thousand-dollar Prime body kit, anyone? *sigh*

I really think it's still a skirmishable, but personally I find the rate of fire in the Ino/WA system to be a tad low for CQB. It's definitely a lower ROF than a real-steel, anyway. Plus when you have a cool-down effect to contend with on green gas, it drops even more. I guess I care about consistency at any range.

You're right about the *crack* sound, though - that's a lot crazier in a confined space. I had some concerns when I was first working on putting my gun together, since I live in an apartment building.

[KEVORKIAN]

I KNOW I've been corrupted by my Ino M4...I think it's time I got rid of some more toys to pay for this new addiction!

Mr.Jon - I've got mags on the way if you want ME to test yours out! LOL

[Mr Jon]

You suck Kev, donate a mag to my cause lol. I can't get mags anywhere, damnit.
