RAP4 Paintball Photo Contest Winner


















VIEW VIDEO PHOTOS 
 

 Real Action Paintball is proud to congratulate Nikos Kostakos of Piraeus, Greece, on winning the RAP4 Photo Contest! Nikos emerged the victor by racking up the most valid "Likes" for his paintball photo on RAP4's page during the contest period. For his dedication to spreading some paintball love, we're glad to send him a free set of RAP4 BDUs.

Nikos picked a set of MARPAT BDUs (called "cammies" by Marines) in the US Marine Corps camo pattern, and they're already in the mail! These awesome Marine Pattern cammies feature rip-stop construction, reinforced elbows, concealed buttons...and that unique MARPAT design that blends beautifully into wooded environments.

Do you know about the other cool thing about the MARPAT design, which the Marines actually engineered into this pattern? The bad guys can't see you in nature...but in person or against a solid color background, there is absolutely no mistaking MARPAT for any other camo pattern in use by any other service. When you want to disappear in the brush, and make a statement when you come back out, RAP4's MARPAT is the camo to choose.

Nikos's prize package includes a matching pair of MARPAT pants that feature reinforced knees, adjustable waist tabs, drawstring leg ties, and a reinforced seat that won't split as he crouches into a ready position! With six pockets, there is plenty of room...and plenty of life in those rip-stop, reinforced pants!

Want to check out all of the other paintball photos Nikos competed with? Perhaps see how yours stacked up in the rankings, or get some great ideas for accessories to drape on your marker? Be sure to check out RAP4's Facebook page, and "Like" us to get access to exclusive contests, information, and giveaways. We have two contests going right now, even...but you have to "Like" the Facebook page to learn more!

So congratulations, Nikos Kostakos of Piraeus, Greece. Now wherever you play in your RAP4 MARPAT cammies, you're going to stand out in the crowd before you disappear in the woods. Make us proud!

RAP4 Weapon of the Week



Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the Weapon of the Week program! Each week we'll announce a special marker package that is loaded with options that make it ready to dominate...straight out of the box!

As the recognized leader in mil-sim markers, with an impressive following in the law enforcement and military training communities, RAP4 has the experience - and engineering - to bring you a playing experience that is unparalleled. Our T68 series reproduce the look, feel, ergonomics, and handling of the M16 and M4 families of battle rifles and carbines. Our accessories are engineered to reproduce real-world accessories from sights to silencers, stocks to barrels...and we are the industry leading source for magazine-fed designs!

Some accessories featured in the Weapon of the Week program are engineered to adapt military designs to paintball, like the Socom Air Through Buttstock included with several of our exclusive packages. This stock reproduces the foam-padded, skeletonized stocks found on many Special Ops M4 carbines, but with a slight twist - the air-through design and male remote line quick disconnect allow you to get the HPA or CO2 bottle off of your marker, and run your air through the stock!

Clever features with real-world designs like this can be found throughout the packages we offer in the Weapon of the Week Program! Each package is put together by experienced engineers who are familiar with the real-world counterparts of our gear...and know exactly what accessories and configurations you need to triumph over every challenge!

Keep checking your email, visiting the RAP4 website, and haunting the forums, to see what special package will be unveiled each week...

...and keep your fingers crossed for some hot pricing and exclusive accessories as the Weapon of the Week program heats up!

NEW Gen4 Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive





Real Action Paintball is proud to announce the Gen4 Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive! This revolutionary force-feed, high-capacity loader holds more than 250 paintballs, keeps up with high cyclic rates, takes 9v batteries for superior performance, and even features a built-in recharging station!

When you need to put a lot of paint downrange fast, you need the reliability of a force-feed loader...but you don't want to just put an ugly paintball hopper on your tricked-out mil-sim marker. That's why the RAP4 engineers hit the laboratory and developed the Nautilus Drive, and then put it inside a RAP4 Box Magazine patterned off of the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon's belt-fed polymer ammunition box. The result is a realistic bulk loader that mimics the M249's ammunition box and contains a motor that loads a constant stream of paint into your chamber as you manically pull the trigger.

RAP4 has extensively field tested the Box Magazine, worked with top players and amateurs alike to tune and refine the design, and is proud to introduce you now to the Fourth Generation of this technology: the RAP4 Gen4 Box Magazine.

The Gen4 Box Magazine takes 9volt batteries for more power, and longer life, than many force-feed loaders. Use one battery when that's all you have left, or insert two and extend your operating time...the Box Magazine works either way. Use the onboard recharging station to charge your batteries overnight, and in the morning, be on your way. Be sure to pack spares of RAP4's own 9volt rechargeable batteries, which pack 200mAh of life into each battery - more battery life than in many common rechargeable batteries, because RAP4 wants you to dominate your game all weekend long.

Reload the Gen4 Box Magazine from either side with the Dual Side Feeding Door. Set the Nautilus Drive to the best choice between three speed settings for fine control over your cyclic rate. Use the level window to instantly tell how much paint is left in the loader...but only the shooter can see the window, so opponents can't tell when you're running low. Easily change batteries when it's time to replace them...and always have a ball seated securely in the chamber when you pull the trigger.

The Gen4 Box Magazine requires a Magazine Fed Conversion Kit to interface with your marker. Users of the Gen7 T68 mag-fed markers are good to go - just follow the simple instructions for inserting the Gen4 Box Magazine to your marker! Tippmann, BT, and US Army marker owners are in luck - with the exclusive Tacamo Magazine Fed Conversion Kit, you can use the internals from your favorite marker to quickly and easily build a mag-fed marker from the replacement body panels. Then, attach the Gen4 Box Magazine, and you'll have a Tippmann that shoots 250 paintballs without reloading, or pausing, or rate of fire drop off! Plus, you won't have that sight-obscuring, ugly hopper in the way...you'll have the ergonomic, mil-styled Gen4 Box Magazine turning heads all weekend long!

With the Gen4 Box Magazine, the awesome power of force-feed technology and ultra high capacity is available to mil-sim players!

Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits Are Now In Stock

 
RAP4 is proud to announce that the Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits are now back in stock! After filling all pre-orders, the third batch of Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits are now in stock...but already they're going fast!

These Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits are the hottest, most innovative scenario and woodsball upgrade on the market this season. Players around the country and across the globe are discovering the ultra realism of mag-fed-only paintball, where players use detachable 20 round magazines that have the authentic look, feel, and ammunition capacity of the real deal...instead of bulky, noise, heavy hoppers that obscure your line of sight.

With the Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits, players who depend on a Tippmann, BT, or US Army marker can quickly and easily convert their marker from standard configuration to an intensely realistic mil-sim configuration that accepts detachable magazines just by swapping out the clamshell body halves and replacing them with those in the kit.

Thousands of players are working right now to remove the internal parts from their marker and install them in the Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kit. Once the parts are installed - about a five minute procedure - the marker works exactly like the original Tippmann, BT, or US Army marker worked...

...but it's now in a sleek, hopper-less body that accepts realistic detachable magazines!

When you absolutely have to carry a hopper's worth of paint, you still don't have to resort to an ugly, clumsy hopper - you can dig the M249 SAW styling of the Gen4 Box Magazine! With a capacity over 250 balls, this polymer box magazine features the Nautilus Drive that stacks paint outside the chamber and then forces it inside under constant pressure so that you have a ball ready for every shot, every time, from every angle...all while holding more bulk paint than a hopper. Since it's patterned after the M249 SAW's linked-ammo box, it has the realistic size and shape you demand...and feeds through the magazine port on your Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kit!

Certain Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits - like those for the X7, Alpha Black, and BT markers - even come with full-length RIS rails atop the receiver so you can add your favorite optic, laser, light, or other RIS interface accessory!

These kits have sold out twice already. This third batch has arrived just in time for players preparing for the kind of winter weather where their Tippmann and similar markers excel...and with the Tacamo Mag-Fed Conversion Kits, their markers will rule the field.

Get in on the cutting edge before this batch sells out, too...and if you're planning to give one as a gift during the upcoming holiday season, you'd better get on it while we still have them in stock!

RAP4 Air Through Stock Solutions

Real Action Paintball is proud to announce a wide selection of Air Through Stock solutions that give you the choice of military-pattern stocks with the functional boost of running your air system right through the stock! Tipmmann X7 and X7 Phenom owners can now pick from Air Through Stock configurations that include M4-style collapsible stocks, a SOCOM-style stock with padded cheek piece, lightweight tube-style T-stock, H&K-style UMP stock, and even a universal skeleton stock. The kits come with all the parts you need to run the air through your stock, so you can attach a remote line and carry that heavy, ugly air tank securely out of the way - and out of sight - on your back.

For fans of true tactical gear, the M4-style Internal Flexi-Air Kit and Collapsible Buttstock Package puts a multi-position, military-pattern collapsible stock on either a Tippmann X7 or X7 Phenom. This complete kit includes everything you need to reconfigure the air system to run through a standard remote line fitting cleverly engineered into the stock...which gets the hoses off of your marker, and allows you the freedom of putting your tank in your harness!

Players who want to create the look and feel of real SOCOM-issue gear should turn to the Tacamo SOCOM Air Through Buttstock that attaches directly to the rear ASA on your X7 Phenom. With a foam-padded cheek piece, authentic SOCOM styling, and a discreet remote line attachment point, you can get the SOCOM experience while improving the performance of your marker by getting that tank out of the way and running your remote line directly through the stock!


For players who need a straightforward, minimal weight, adjustable-length stock, the Tacamo T-Stock Air Through Buttstock is the light, convenient, low-cost solution. Featuring tubular construction with a gently-sloped T-style stock that curves to fit your shoulder, this stock is adjustable with a thumb-tightened tension screw for a custom fit that's easily adapted to your layers, tactical vest, or other bulk. Run your remote line through the integral adapter, and you're set!

The Air Through UMP Adapter & Stock with Remote Line Adapter is designed for players who want to take advantage of the ergonomic, modern military styling of the X7 and X7 Phenom markers by adding a UMP stock. Named for the Universal Military Pistol (UMP) arm designed by Heckler & Koch, the RAP4 UMP Stock takes the UMP's military-grade folding stock and adapts it directly to paintball. It looks sharp on your Tippmann, and with this kit, you can install it on your X7 or X7 Phenom in moments and then hook it straight up to your remote line!


Does a skeletonized stock fit your design aesthetic best? The RAP4 Air Through Skeleton Adapter and Stock is your all-in-one solution for putting a stock on your X7 or X7 Phenom...and running your remote line discreetly into your marker to get that tank safely out of your way! With cosmetic lines that evoke the skeletonized stocks found on some carbines and AK-pattern rifles, this Skeleton Adapter and Stock takes real-world lightweight functionality and applies it directly to paintball...with the RAP4 innovation of running a remote line directly through the stock adapter! All you need now is the Flexi-Air Hose (and Tombstone Adapter for the X7) to get your X7 Phenom decked out!


These stocks augment RAP4's already wide line of stocks that include Magpul PTS MOE stocks, the SMG Retractable Buttstock, H&K-inspired Air-Through Commando Stock, SCAR-Inspired Assault Stock, and many others. When you need to upgrade the ergonomics of your Tippmann, fundamentally change its look, or add the revolutionary Air Through Stock advantage, you need RAP4's innovative solutions.
