The St0ner Review: Katana
Sup peeps, my samurai ponytail's up, because we're now taking a look at the newly-released Katana 
K... the format's going to be slightly different, so bear with me:
Power: the most powerful left or right click of any gun in the game
.
*Chest: 81 left, 100 right (on humans)
*Stomach: 96 left, 100 right
*Head: always 100
*Limbs: about 40 left, 90-100 right (depending on where the slash hits first)
Weight: weighs more than any current melee weapon, being slightly heavier than the Axe.
Looks: Japanese blades of death= sexy
. Plus, it just goes great with the Custom and Deagle Scope :cool:
Draw Speed: pretty slow, but is similar to that of the Shovel
Attack Speed: faster than the Shovel for left clicking, but the slowest melee weapon for right click tapping
Usefulness: great for camping next to doors and corners while holding the right mouse button and assassinating people, maps where melee weapons have a slight advantage at close range (like Prison, Sniper Matches, and Arena2), and knife only games. But in a normal situation, you usually won't get close enough to use before you're shot dead
Overall, the Katana's a potentially great melee weapon that takes time to master. But... seeing as how it's sold temporarily for ZP, you won't have much time
. Either way, get the Katana only if you have ZP to burn or just love swords
. The Axe and Shovel are better weapons, but the Katana does have an advantage over a knife user.
Score: 7/10

i bought one as well and i have to say.....YOUR ON CRACK!!! its 2-3 tops for "spam" clicking them and one shot with the shovel. u move like uer carring a sniper around while u have the power attack "charged up" in every mode unless uer a BL in GM and u move hella fast if that is the case! its getting the timing down and btw its LIGHTER than the axe but i think its heavyer than the shovel. also its got a wide slash arc for its slash and also it beats the shovel in range! shovel got shoved out of the way for range for a melee weapon with this last patch! not sure if AK-47 Knife has a longer reach or the same since it had a longer reach than the shovel last time i checked! =P
the only reason u would need 4 slashes is if it didnt register or uer fighting a BR in ether case GL and GG!
