The guys at RAP4 are having a trade in offer on their Real Action (RA) gear. So if you’ve got some old and rather ungainly paintball gear in the closet and want to trade it in towards something a bit more realistic you’re in luck. Real action gear still normally fires paint so might not be of interest to Airsoft purists; yet it is well worth mentioning that all the gear they’ve got on offer will also happily use 40/43/68cal rubber (according to available caliber) making the new RA markers some of the most realistic training gear available to date from the Paintball scene. The larger caliber rounds are arguably less penetrative in nature and therefore safer than 6mm BBs in close quarters – particularly at the equivalent higher velocities (>350fps).
Real Action Paintball Announces First Ever Trade-In Offer:
Santa Clara, CA, 12/13/04 – Car dealers let you do it. Computer resellers let you do it. So why dont other industries let you do it, too? Thanks to Real Action Paintball, after today that question can no longer be asked of the paintball industry.
For several years now, Real Action Paintball (online at www.RAP4.com) has offered a range of realistic paintball markers that are designed to give the customer an experience that is as true as possible. The cornerstone of this mission is the RAP4, the first paintball marker designed like a real assault rifle, the militarys M4. Following in that tradition of being the cutting edge of law enforcement and military training as well as real action and military simulation games, Real Action Paintball announced yet another industry first today: an equipment trade-in program.
Real Action Paintball will take any paintball markers, air soft guns, or bb guns in trade, said KT Tran, owner and operator of Real Action Paintball. They dont even need to be working for the customer to earn $150 in credit. That credit, says Mr. Tran, can be used towards the purchase of a RAP4 Paintball Gun, T68 Paintball Gun, or a T16 Paintball Gun.
We unite and serve several disciplines – including airsoft, paintball, military, and law enforcement training – so we decided the best way to serve our broad customer base is to allow them to trade in the old equipment they already have for new.
The offer comes just in time for the holidays, when people might be looking for that perfect gift either for themselves or a friend or family member. Though the end date for the offer has yet to be determined, Mr. Tran believes that it will be a success since it targets a customer base who have already expressed their interest in real action games and training by investing in equipment of some sort.
We just want to make it easier for our customers to get the newest and best products available.
Terms and conditions of the offer can be found on RAPs website, at http://trade.rap4.com, and questions can be directed to info@rap4.com or (408) 727-3144. KT Tran, (Real Action Paintball)
Whilst it can easily be argued both ways as to whether a specific RA product is better or worse than an AEG for example (my feelings are that it’s all down to personal taste), the fact remains that RA gear is not only something different but also an improving technology that is reducing the distance between paint and standard 6mm applications. I’d not think of these as specific replacements for your AEG, instead this is a different complimentary item that you can have in your toy cupboard to play with – from my own experience the RAM/T16 range are very different in use when compared to a 6mm AEG.
