I’ve got a bit of a backlog of updates to get online as my attention was diverted, so bear with my while I add updates and empty my inbox.
First up is news of RAP4’s new realistic marker. The usual provisos apply as it’s not airsoft but .43 cal paint:
Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the release of the RAP4 XPower, the latest and the best training marker. 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. (RAP4)
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. The latest improvements to the RAP4 XPower improve the accuracy, range, and overall precision of the marker, not to mention the added realism of real-world functionality. The RAP4 XPower represents a complete redesign from the previous versions! The new core design offers greater reliability and durability for the XPower line, with rugged features like all-metal construction fabricated with weight, width, length, and ergonomics comparable to authentic M16/M4 style assault rifles…and the pistol grip is identical to that on an M4. This gives operators a true-to-life feel, as if they are training with their duty gear.
The RAP4 XPower’s hand guards, butt stock, and pistol grip are completely interchangeable with those on a real M4…because they are made with the same material as real firearms. The RAP4 XPower was previously released only to special military groups for their rigorous use. After 5 years of continuous use and positive feedback, they are proven reliable and dependable…when you pull the trigger in a pinch, that shot you’re counting on will be fired. The RAP4 XPower is now ready for broad release…and since it is so solidly made, it comes with a 5 year warranty from any manufacture defect – the longest product warranty you’ll find in the industry. The RAP4 XPower’s new design makes it virtually maintenance free -‘ it can go through thousands and thousands of shots before any maintenance is needed. The new RAP4 XPower has a thumb selector switch – for muscle memory training as well as firearms familiarization. Train like you’re going to fight – and train with the gear you’ll be using…except, paintballs come out of these models.
RAP4 XPower has a removable carry handle with M4-standard iron sights that are adjustable for elevation and windage. With the carry handle removed, the RAP4 XPower can take any standard scope, sight, or mount on its flattop rail.
The RAP4 XPower offers endless configurations, and the weaver-style rail is fully compatible with standard military specification attachments. This versatility allows for a world of configurations: RIS CQB, Special Ops, red dot sights, scopes, flashlights…and even grenade launchers!
The RAP4 XPower core also features a new low and steady pressure design that allows the unit to operate under all weather and temperature conditions – so you can train in rain, hail, snow or in the scorching desert heat. The RAP4 XPower’s trigger guard folds back to give room for shooting gloves. This feature is ideal for winter operations. The RAP4 XPower provides a complete training solution for any agency, in any training environment.
The RAP4 XPower is extremely powerful and accurate. For law enforcement and military use, it has enough power to propel projectiles over 350 fps, enabling officers and military personnel to engage in long distance force on force training. The RAP4 XPower 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.
RAP4 – as real as it gets.
