Do you still remember our previous posting about unconfirmed information that Craft Apple Works (CAW) of Japan making airsoft guns for Echo 1 USA? Well, it is confirmed as Echo 1 USA had made an announcement that a new shotgun made in Japan will soon be coming out. From the pictures they have provided, the shotgun is the CAW US Marine M1014 Combat Shotgun, which is based on the Bene­lli Super 90­ M4. ­While the CAW branded M1014 has been available at retailers for some time now, the Echo 1 USA version will be bearing the company trademarks.

The Benelli Super 90 M4 also known as the M1014 Combat Shotgun is an Italian-made shotgun manufactured by Benelli Armi S.P.A. It is currently used by the United States Armed Forces as their "Joint Service Combat Shotgun". Touted in its make is the modular assembly basis of the weapon. It allows an operator to exchange the various assembly groups (barrel, buttstock, forearm, etc...) without tools. Especially useful in the field, the process is quick and allows the weapon to adapt to a changing tactical environment.
