RAP4 have combined their pistol and rifle replicas into the “XTS” range aimed at law enforcement and military training:

Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the release of the NEW RAP4 XPower Training System (XTS) for Law Enforcement and Military. The new training system is a combination of pistol and rifle that are designed  for force on force training.

Pistol: The new RAP4 Combat Training Paintball Pistol is made in the likeness of one of the most popular duty sidearms. This Real Action Marker is authentic in weight, feel, and action, right down to the realistic kick of its blowback slide.  This new Combat Training Paintball Pistol is the most compact paintball pistol ever made, and is designed to be compatible with standard duty holsters. For law enforcement training, the Combat Pistol affords officers the ability to train as realistically as it gets. The Combat Pistol allows officers to use the duty gear they already have, and allows them to incorporate their training - weapon control, carry and hand positions, even point of aim - as if they are in a real situation.

Rifle: The RAP4 XPower is identical to the legendary M4 rifle used by SWAT Teams, Special Operation Groups, and the U.S. Military. The M4 carbine, the U.S. Military’s weapon of choice, is known for its solid construction, durability, and sustained reliability, and things are no different with the RAP4 XPower. This marker is designed to replicate the look, feel, and action of the real M4. With features that mimic the M4, such as shell ejection after every shot, paintballs force-fed by magazine, and the option of a collapsible or solid stock to disguise the CO2 cylinder, it’s the very image of the M4. The RAP4 XPower shoots .43 caliber paintballs, which are loaded into alloy or biodegradable plastic shells. RAP4 XPower design offers greater reliability and durability with rugged features like all-metal construction fabricated with weight, width, length, and ergonomics comparable to authentic M16/M4 style assault rifles.

RAP4 XTS gives operators a true-to-life feel, as if they are training with their duty gear. It provides negative reinforcement and shows what the trainee did wrong to help him/her learn to take proper cover. This training system is safe, effective, and costs less than 5 cents per shot. No other training system provides more trigger time that is as realistic or as effective.

Frank at RealSword has sent in promotional news of their SVD and Type 56-2 models. Click any image for a larger version:

Type 56-2:

RS SVD AEG on Market Now: Since the announcement of the production of SVD AEG by RS in IWA 2008 at March, 2008, RS has been working extremely hard on the R&D and trials of this SVD electric toy gun, which has been long expected by our players. The unique “interior to exterior” R&D principle of RS maintains the real sizes of the originals in the products. We insist copying all the arts and crafts details of the originals in order to bring the player a perfect SVD AEG.

During the R&D, suggestions were given by the players as well. Focusing on the feeling of shooting, some of the players wish the product can be finally made into pneumatic gun; while to ensure the practical use of this toy gun, more players wish it can be made into electric one.

Now,RS has launched the SVD AEG initially.For an AEG, RS maintains the utmost real size structures in where ever the AEG needs the real size to be. For the parts that should provide performance of an AEG, RS enables them with high quality entertaining function.

To cope with different weather of different countries, electric driven SVD has stronger environment adaptability, thus it is more practical. As a sniper style AEG, RS guarantees the toy gun’s shooting accuracy and shooting range with RS’s precise manufacturing and modern R&D. To deal with the narrow, small and rather long interior area of SVD, RS devoted lots of hard works and overcame lots of technical difficulties. Now we can say RS SVD is making RS very proud.
