RAP4 Helmet Mounting Attachments





RAP4 is proud to offer you combat-ready equipment attachment gear specifically designed for your duty-issue or reproduction combat helmets. The RAP4 Helmet Mounting Attachments interface with the mil-spec ARC/ACH rails on your helmet to allow you to mount lights and infrared illuminators, communications gear...even auxiliary protection like mandible guards.

Marines, soldiers, and other military personnel deployed around the world increasingly rely on their helmets to hold flashlights and night vision equipment, communications gear and oxygen masks, making their headgear an integral part of their combat equipment for more than just protection. That gear needs a method of attaching to the armored exterior of the helmets, so that it can be quickly mounted or swapped out to meet changing mission requirements and remain combat-effective. The ARC/ACH rails allow exactly that flexibility, permitting the user to attach their gear and position it exactly where it needs to ride.

RAP4's Helmet Mounting Attachments provide the interface between that gear and the ARC/ACH rails on your helmet, whether you're deploying or outfitting a reproduction rig for mil-sim combat games. Each Helmet Mounting Attachment package includes the ABS polymer attachment gear that you need to secure chin and other straps, mandible armor, RIS-interface accessories, and helmet-specific gear like IR illuminators and oxygen masks.

We manufacture our Helmet Mounting Attachments from light, tough ABS plastic that won't weigh you down, and will provide durable service and a tight interface with the ARC/ACH rails you have installed on your helmet. Don't have those rails yet? They're available separately, to get you good to go all at once. We also have a wide range of accessories that are ready to mount to the RAP4 Helmet Mounting Attachments, making our website and stores your one-stop destination to completely outfit your helmet.

Now you can get into the action with an extraordinary range of equipment...and easily mount it right where you need it with Rap4's Helmet Mounting Attachments.

NEW USMG MAC5 Assault Armor



RAP4 is proud to announce the MAC5 Assault Armor Package. The MAC5 Assault Armor Package is engineered to help you carry a full combat load of magazines along with a radio, emergency rations, and spare parts...while staying hydrated and looking sharp. The vest features seven rows of MOLLE attachment loops on the front, and eight rows on the back, and the included pouches are each covered in MOLLE attachment loops so even as you add pouches and accessories, you can still add more. That's the beauty of the MOLLE system, and the user-friendly engineering of the MAC5 Assault Armor Package.

You'll need to get into the action straightaway, so with each package we include two double magazine pouches that are designed to fit T68 magazines...but will also fit M4/M16 magazines for the police and military operators who use our tactical gear for both training and service. Install them wherever you want on the MAC5 Assault Armor Package, and hit the field.

We include two pistol magazine pouches as well, and as individual units, you can attach them wherever it makes sense on your vest. The combat lifesavers pouch serves as a fantastic dump pouch for empty magazines, or loose storage for more spares...or a place to keep emergency provisions or other supplies at the ready. The radio pouch secures a standard radio, cell phone, or similarly-sized gear. The vest package comes with a hydration system onboard, so you can carry several liters of water into action and stay hydrated all day.

Most realistic of all: the MAC5 Assault Armor Package is ready to accept medium-size armor plates for real-world operations, or simulated plates for mil-sim training and gaming...or neither, if you want to run light and stay flexible in a vest that is designed to serve tactical gamers and real-world operators alike!

MKP Scavenger Paintball Gun



RAP4 is proud to introduce the MKP Scavenger. The MKP Scavenger is a battle-ready, magazine-fed marker designed to give you complete control of the field. We build each MKP Scavenger from a Tippmann X7 Phenom--the high-end electric/mechanical marker that provides the internal parts and electronic/mechanical controls that make the MKP Scavenger truly formidable. Then we upgrade the marker's body with the MKP mag-fed conversion kit, meaning that you get those Tippmann parts...

...in the industry's leading magazine-fed aftermarket body!

The authentic military styling, detachable magazine, skeletonized F.I.R. Handguard that is covered with RIS rails, collapsible stock over an air-through-stock adapter, and 14" Raptor rifled barrel make this marker truly as real as it gets...while that barrel and its Crossbow Muzzle Break ensure your paint arrives on target every time.

To make sure you can dominate on humid summer afternoons or even in the rain, the MKP Scavenger includes our extraordinary Lok-Bolt Antichop System--a purely mechanical system that prevents the bolt from closing on the chamber unless a paintball is fully seated and ready to go. This eliminates chopping no matter your cyclic rate, ensuring that even in full auto your MKP Scavenger doesn't chop paint...and the Lok-Bolt Antichop System never requires batteries!

You'll need to track your targets across the field, and find them in the dark...so we outfit the MKP Scavenger with the Holotech Sight that replicates the look, feel, and combat utility of high-end military sights in use in combat right now! We also include a Tactical RIS N9000 Flashlight with pressure switches, which is an integrated flashlight/tactical foregrip unit that will light up the night!

Whether you take single shots at long range, or need to rip through a magazine in full-auto, the MKP Scavenger is ready to hunt the field and destroy your opposition.

T68 Hamlin Paintball Gun



RAP4 is proud to introduce the T68 Hamlin. The T68 Hamlin offers exactly what you need to get the job done with the most realistic mil-sim marker available. With magazine-fed operation (hopper-fed is also available), metallic flip-up sights, a receiver-length top RIS rail ready to accept your favorite optics or other RIS-interface accessories, and a full-length handguard to give you positive control in aiming the marker, the T68 Hamlin is ready for immediate action.

To build the Hamlin, we start with our latest generation T68 all-mechanical receiver, so that you can play in all weather conditions and rely on the absolute dependability of our T68 internals--no batteries to change...no valves to time...no hassle when you clean it. To this proven powerhouse we add an 18" Raptor Tactical Rifled Barrel crowned with an M4 Birdcage Muzzle Brake that enhances the realism and increases the accuracy of your T68 Hamlin.

Our Collapsible Buttstock System conceals your choice of a 13ci HPA tank (standard), a 5oz CO2 tank, or other air source...so you can have your air source onboard the marker without having to resort to a heavy, unwieldy, and unrealistic air tank. Extend the collapsible stock to your ideal length for a comfortable length of pull, and enjoy the perfect weight balance (and lack of remote line hose) it affords!

Tactical foregrips are standard gear for many loadouts, so we include one with each T68 Hamlin. This crucial accessory helps you intuitively track moving targets, more comfortably carry your T68 Hamlin in the low-ready position, and serves as a monopod when you go prone behind low cover.

From the M16 Handguard to the Collapsible Buttstock System, the magazine-fed operation to the flip-up metallic sights, the T68 Hamlin is a serious tool for those serious about mil-sim gaming and force-on-force training that is truly as real as it gets.

468 DMR: Roof Top Hitman Sniper Action



Real Action Paintball is proud to release another video showing our latest 468 marker in action. Get tactical with Anthony from Savoy 6 as he takes to the rooftop of RAP4's Ops Building with a custom 468 in one of our USMG hard sided cases. His mission: execute a hit from the rooftop with the absolute latest in paintball gear.

You've seen the 468 in our other videos, but when you click to view the 468 Rooftop Hit Man video, you'll get to see an exciting new model designed just for tactical sniping. With a full-length Phantom Handguard around a sniper-length Rifled Recon Barrel crowned by an MK23 II SOCOM silencer, the upper receiver is ready for tactical action.

That's right - the upper receiver. The 468 features two receiver components, an upper that contains the bolt, barrel, charging handle, etc, and the lower, which contains the trigger group, stock, pistol grip, etc. This sniper-length marker fits into Anthony's USMG hard sided case because the silencer unthreads easily from the barrel, and the upper receiver disconnects from the lower receiver by sliding out two retaining pins and lifting off of the receiver.

Just like a military-issue M4.

Put those two halves into the USMG carrying case, and you can travel with your 468 in style...up ladders, across rooftops, and just about anywhere else. Then open the case, assemble the marker, and if your air tank is already attached, just charge the marker with the charging handle and open fire.

Your opponent will never see it coming.

That's just part of the power of the all-new 468. See it in action with a hit man on the rooftops of southern California when you check out that impressive video.

NEW U.S. Military Gear (USMG) Spartan Plate Carrier 7



RAP4 is proud to introduce the brand new US Military Gear (USMG) Spartan Plate Carrier 7 (SPC7) combat load bearing vest, a true breakthrough in combat-effective equipment designed by veterans for use on the modern battlefield...and the modern combat gaming fields. This revolutionary design is derived from the Spartan combat research project, and meets the mission-essential needs of combat personnel in harm's way right now.

The Spartan Plate Carrier 7 is designed to hold a mid-size Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) plate (sold separately) right over your torso, which protects combat personnel from shrapnel and small arms fire up to thirty caliber rounds. The genius of the design comes in its engineered simplicity and user-friendly features.

You can don or doff the SPC7 quickly by way of three combat-tough buckles: one on each side, and the third on the left shoulder so that you can take the vest off sideways rather than over your head...which means you can take it on and off without disturbing your goggles, helmet, or other headgear - a major benefit for combat gamers who need to quickly don or doff it without disturbing protective eyewear...especially if the SPC7 gets caught on a vehicle, fence, building, or hazard, and you need to free yourself immediately without needing to remove your protective gear.

By putting that third buckle on your left shoulder, it stays out of the way of your stock when right handed players shoulder their primary arm...and it is a minimal disturbance for shouldering a stock against your left shoulder when you need to come around the other side of a barrier.

The Spartan Plate Carrier 7 is outfitted with five rows of MOLLE loops on the front, and five more on the back, so you can easily attach magazine pouches, dump pouches, map pouches, or other MOLLE-interface gear...like a water bladder on the back and a holster on the front! The front features a generous hook-and-loop field for attaching unit identification, flags, name placards, or other patches; there is a sturdy, fold-flat (to prevent snagging) drag handle on the top rear of the back panel so your buddies can pull you out of a jam should you need assistance. The drag loop is tested to over 500 pounds, making it a crucial safety feature for those who wear their vests into harm's way or around natural hazards from which they may need to be pulled.

When our veterans participated in the design process for the Spartan Plate Carrier 7, they insisted on keeping it extremely light, maintaining a full range of motion so users can remain combat effective and meet the physical demands of their environment, and using only proven materials like fluid-resistant Cordura and battle-tough polymer. The result is an armor-carrying tactical vest that meets mission requirements, and is available to serve combat gamers as well in paintball, airsoft, and force-on-force training. By providing RAP4 and USMG duty-issue gear to both the military and recreational gaming communities, RAP4 proves our commitment to keeping things as real as it gets!

NEW Vented Integrated Training Helmet



RAP4 is proud to announce the Emerson Future Assault Shell Technology (FAST) Vented, Integrated Training Helmet...which replicates the look, feel, and accessory-bearing utility of the latest battle helmets developed for the US Military. Our Emerson FAST Helmets are expressly designed as training aids for military operators, and to serve our combat gaming community with mil-sim gear built to authentic size, weight, and accessory compatibility standards...while saving you a considerable amount of money.

The Emerson FAST Helmet replicates the feel of the mil-spec FAST helmets through extraordinary attention to detail, from the OCC-DIAL adjustable headband to the accessory rail connector (ARC) interface built into the shell. The ARC allows users to mount a wide range of optical gear, armor, and other accessories to your Emerson FAST Helmet. Modern warfighters appreciate the FAST helmet's significant weight savings over previous technology, and the ability to mount night vision equipment directly to their helmets.

The modern four-point, completely adjustable chinstrap system allows supreme comfort and full articulation when you speak, while securing the FAST helmet to your head. "Magic Stick" hook and loop fields over each ear and on the back are ready to accept unit ID patches, infrared identification badges, morale patches, and the like, while the helmets themselves are available in colors that coordinate with a wide range of camouflage patterns...all details of which are carefully reproduce in the Emerson FAST Helmet. By using high-impact ABS plastic we are able to keep weight light while retaining strength that provides some protection from scrapes and paintballs, and affords the complete accessory-mounting versatility of the mil-spec helmets...but at a much lower price. While our Emerson FAST Helmets are not designed to offer the impact and ballistic protection of the mil-spec models, they do provide the exact look, feel, and tactical experience at significant cost and weight savings.

This makes the Emerson FAST Helmet ideal for use in tactical maneuvers and force-on-force training, where exact reproductions of duty gear are essential for training like personnel are going to fight...but the full ballistic and impact protection of the mil-spec FAST helmet are not required. Tactical gamers rejoice: Emerson FAST Helmets do provide protection against paintballs and airsoft BBs, further enhancing their utility for tactical gamers, and when used in conjunction with proper goggles, promote even safer game play.

Complete your mil-sim loadout with the Emerson FAST Helmet...and be sure to check our full line of tactical lights, illuminators, and accessories that will give you a real-world tactical edge in training and combat games alike!

T68 Hewitt Paintball Gun



Real Action Paintball is proud to introduce the T68 Hewitt Paintball Gun. The T68 Hewitt is designed to provide you maximum firepower for controlling every aspect of tactical game play - from making accurate long range shots to taking out armored personnel carriers and shooting your way out of (or into) tough situations. We build the T68 Hewitt on our latest generation T68 receiver, and configure it for your choice of magazine feed or hopper feed, so that you can dominate in the playing style of your choice.

With the 14" Raptor Tactical Rifled Barrel you'll be able to drop accurate shots through the narrowest spaces to eliminate opponents dug in deep...and connect with OPFOR at extreme range.

The Samurai 30mm Red Dot Scope helps you make those shots, and should you remove it to save on weight - or if the battery dies while you're in a firefight - the Magpul MBUS tactical backup sights are ready to flip up and deploy to keep your shots true.

Sometimes you need to "blow" a bunker or take out an armored vehicle. Then, only a grenade launcher will do...and the T68 Hewitt has one right there at the ready. Our RIS M203 Military Grenade Launcher interfaces with the RIS rails on the mid-length handguard so that you can quickly and positively attach/detach the grenade launcher. When your mission demands more firepower, load it with a Thunder Grenade and prepare to wield the most firepower allowed in the game.

Whether you tear up the field during open play, or command a squad in the thick of a mil-sim scenario, the T68 Hewitt puts industry-leading design and incomparable firepower in your hands. Settle for nothing less - that's paintball, as real as it gets!

Inside RAP4 R&D: The Making Of RAP 468


RAP4 is proud to drive the paintball industry with revolutionary designs, serve the military and police communities with training equipment that replicates their duty issue gear, and help you have the most realistic fun possible at your scenario games. Our most successful products start in our Research & Development Lab, where Omar and company oversee a high-tech facility that is steeped in cutting edge design from the modern battlefield.

Want a look inside part of our R&D department? We have some great videos of Omar showing off our technology, and the technology that inspires it: an armory of both classic and modern military arms from around the world. Check them out here:
Video 1
Video 2

Video 4
Video 5
Why did we engineer the 468 to disassemble with two takedown pins?
Because that's how duty-issue M4 and M16 rifles disassemble. How'd we know? Because we use real battle rifles as our inspiration for both design and function, and we measure real components to figure out how to make our compressed air powered paintball guns as stunningly real as it gets.

"I haven't found my dream marker yet," Omar says. "So I'm going to have to build it." That's his inspiration every day he sits down to turn dreams and concepts into CAD drawings, blueprints, and work orders. It's a tall order, as he says that he envisions a vast array of paintball guns that evoke the excitement, form, and function of diverse arms from around the world--to truly represent, with compressed air powered markers, the diversity of arms in service.
Somewhere in that range is his perfect paintball gun...and yours, too.

RAP4 is on a quest to bring that marker to life. We're already making dreams come true with our focus on extremely realistic, magazine-fed markers. Our 468 represents the very latest in mil-sim design...and our D-Mags are being assembled right now ahead of their wide release.

Watch those videos, and see how Omar handles the G3, the M1 Carbine, the 870 shotgun, the 1911 pistol... Somewhere in there lies his next inspiration.

The inspiration for our next breakthrough paintball technology is in the arms carried by soldiers right now; the state of the art in mag-fed paintball gear is ready to ship to you today. And the glee in Omar's voice tells you that big things are coming from the mil-sim  leader: Real Action Paintball.

SAVOY 6 Joins RAP4

Real Action Paintball is proud to introduce our newest sponsored team: SAVOY6, based in southern California. SAVOY6 was founded by a dedicated cadre of former US Marines, active duty and reserves who were looking in their newfound civilian lives for the sort of camaraderie, adventure, and exercise they enjoyed while serving. The team now has more than thirty members, many with military experience, who join together for a common goal: to have fun while utilizing real military tactics, training, and strategy, to form an unstoppable tactical paintball team. RAP4 met SAVOY6 at Operation: End War 3, where their tactics proved combat effective, and their sense of humor carried the day. They field tested several of our 468 markers, and demonstrated their dedication to mag-fed paintball--the most realistic style of paintball possible. Mag-fed paintball, and the revolutionary 468 marker, fit perfectly with their intense military-inspired style that combines real military training with a preference for mil-spec, robust equipment that looks, feels, and wears exactly like the duty-issue gear they carried in the service. As proud suppliers of that gear to combat operators and military training units, RAP4 is eager to help SAVOY6 outfit themselves with the markers, accessories, softgoods, and other gear that is crucial to their success. They give veterans a positive community of like-minded vets to help ease them into civilian life, and share the ups and downs with other people who get it; they bring to paintball a formidable opposing force that competes just like real military units fight, ensuring that the action in the events they attend is truly as real as it gets. And SAVOY6 has proven their dedication to representing mag-fed paintball, the most realistic mil-sim action our sport has to offer. For these reasons and more, RAP4 is proud to sponsor the dedicated players of SAVOY6! For more information on SAVOY6, check out their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/savoy6paintball To see SAVOY6 in action, check out RAP4's video of the team at Operation: End War 3: http://www.rap4.com/savoy-joins-rap4-a-572.html For the best gear in paintball, and the latest news on the mag-fed phenomenon, look us up at: www.rap4.com Real Action Paintball--As Real as it Gets!

USMG Battle Belt

RAP4 is proud to announce the Spartan Battle Belt VII within our USMG line of real world tactical accessories. This rugged, MOLLE-interface, deluxe padded combat belt was designed with the feedback of Operation: Iraqi Freedom veterans to provide the exact kind of tactical load-bearing service they require in-theatre... ...which happens to provide the kind of service tactical paintball players need as well. The Spartan Battle Belt VII is probably strong enough to tow a truck, but is designed from its slip-resistant silicon bands to its MOLLE-interface design to utilize its strength in your service. Attach any MOLLE-interface holster, magazine pouches, dump pouches, combat lifesaver kits (real kits or simulated ones for tactical gaming), pod pouches, tank pouches, or other gear...all of which are available in rugged models from USMG. You can also attach mil-surplus and other MOLLE gear, integrating the Spartan Battle Belt VII into the equipment you already have. Battle belts fill two critical tactical roles: they provide extraordinary carrying capacity for accessories and auxiliary equipment, and they secure your vest for those missions where you wear one. Each Spartan Battle Belt VII features multiple D-rings designed to hook directly to your vest, so that your vest can help carry the weight of all the gear on your belt...and also so the belt helps snug your vest tightly to your body so it only moves when you move. When you want to run fast and light, but still need to carry a tank on your back to power your marker, attach a MOLLE-interface tank carrier to the Spartan Belt VII and you'll be set for the lightest possible load-out for your marker's configuration. Add several USMG magazine pouches, or pod pouches if you use the RAP4 Gen4 Box Magazine, and your belt will keep reloads at the ready in the most comfortable, ergonomic position possible. The MOLLE-interface system means that each Spartan Battle Belt VII will interface with mil-surplus MOLLE gear, all USMG MOLLE gear, as well as the new MOLLE tactical gear we are at work innovating right now. The Spartan Battle Belt VII uses today's technology to satisfy the demands of tomorrow's battlefield...and it serves with class and distinction.

Tippmann X7 Phenom Collapsible Air Through

Real Action Paintball is proud to announce a dynamic accessory that is crucial to making your Tippmann X7 Phenom truly as real as it gets: the Retractable Air Through Stock. This stock perfectly reproduces the retractable stock found on MP5 and other HK-pattern duty weapons, from the ergonomics and aesthetics to the way it functions. But it has one huge upgrade: an air-through design that mates perfectly with your X7 Phenom, allowing you full military style and function with a paintball-specific upgrade. When you need to play tight on urban fields, or collapse your marker down into a small package for easy transit in a tank, on an ATV, or just driving to the field, this stock collapses against the custom rear body plug of your X7 Phenom. All you have to do is move the stock retention lever to the side and gently push. When you're ready to deploy the stock to take advantage of the solid shooting platform it offers, just slide it back and listen as it clicks into place, locking the stock in the extended position. Now you're ready to take aim and make that one-shot elimination before they can figure out where you're shooting from! Whether the stock is extended or collapsed, you can use the integral Air Through Stock design to maximum advantage. The custom rear body plug features an air hose designed to mate perfectly with the air system inside your X7 Phenom, and provide a standard remote line quick disconnect hookup tucked discretely under the stock. Attach your remote line to it, and your marker is good to go...without having to attach a heavy, ugly tank to the marker itself!

OEW3: The Battle for Greece - Story and Missions

Operation: End War 3 - Story and Missions Greece 2016 The birthplace of democracy has become the center stage for a new world conflict. Albania and Greece are in a land dispute. Albania (a border nation to Greece, and believe part of Greece belong to them) plans an aggressive seizure before the scheduled operation. Enraged over their diminutive share of proposed land seizures under current EU and NATO negotiations, Albanian forces are prepared to march across the border in a series of strategic attacks, securing land they believe they are theirs. Operation: End War 3 takes place in the rural Greek town of Orino, approximately two miles from the Albanian border. Surrounded on three sides by Albanian land, Orino is situated on a political peninsula...and promises to be the first place weapons will be fired in the Greek multinational crisis. The Greek Ultra-Nationalists (GUN) have infiltrated Orino, and are prepared to fend off what they believe are foreign invaders. Supplied by a captured base, their unit of mercenaries and freedom-fighters will fight to maintain a sovereign Greek state - safe from the Albanians, safe from NATO, and safe from their own appeasing government. They seek to end this first advance as quickly and violently as possible to send a message to the EU nations currently squabbling that Greece will remain under Greek sovereignty. Forces of the Albanian Invasion Movement (AIM), acting without NATO support, are prepared to defy international law and take Orino in the name of Albania. Acting in haste, they must secure what land they can as soon as possible before NATO can react and stop their advance. Initial strike teams have been fast-roped into Orino via helicopter to begin securing the main highway for troop and supply transports into the area. They were met immediately with resistance. And so it begins: the battle for Greece, a conflict that threatens to spill across the region and plunge the world into another global conflict. Registration: Choose your side - and - join the fight 3 Sample missions (approximately 20 missions are prepared) Operation: Blow the Bridge! Situation: Albanian Invasion Movement (AIM) forces seek to seize all infrastructure to transport troops and supplies by land. Greek Ultra-Nationalists (GUN) must slow their advance and create choke points for a guerrilla resistance. Missions: GUN: Must secure the centrally located bridge and wrap each support post with the explosives. AIM: Secure the centrally located bridge before GUN forces can destroy it. Hold for (TIME) until opposing forces choose another target. Operation: Ambush the Transport! Situation: AIM forces have begun to supply the initial push with ammunition and explosives. GUN forces must stop the flow of supplies in order to dominate the area. Missions: GUN: Ambush and capture or destroy all supplies being transported. AIM: Transport as many supplies from location A to B as possible. A successful transport will count as a # of points. Do not let the supplies fall into enemy hands! Operation: Recon the Area! Situation: AIM forces need more intel on the location of GUN forces. Missions: GUN: Do not allow the enemy to compile data on your position! Intercept enemy recon units and destroy them before they are able to upload their recon photos to their command. Continue to fend off these teams for (TIME) until opposing forces choose another target. AIM: Using handheld military recon devices (smart phones), take photos of all three marked targets (red X's spray painted on walls) in the enemy compound and upload (text) them to the command unit (ref). AIM must get all three photos for mission success.

Operation End War 3: Tactical Challenge

When you're ready for a true tactical challenge, to test yourself against equally-armed opponents on challenging terrain where marksmanship and teamwork decide the winner, to see how good you really are...you're ready for Operation: End War. RAP4's third installment of this thrilling scenario series comes to The Paintball Zone near Waterford, California, the last weekend of September. Arrive early on the 29th and claim your camping spot in the parking area, then muster at the gear rental station to be issued a magazine-fed Tacamo MKV marker. The Operation: End Ward format allows only mag-fed markers in the game, so you'll have to bring your T68, Tacamo, or other mag-fed marker...or you can take advantage of the exciting rental package RAP4 puts together just for these scenarios! For $50, you'll be able to rent that mag-fed Tacamo MKV, three magazines, an air tank, and get air fills for the weekend. Then they'll show you how to use it, and even how to reload under fire just like military personnel around the world. You'll have twenty shots in each magazine, and be able to reload mags in the field as needed...but once you learn how to coordinate cover fire and make each shot count, you'll discover a whole new way to play milsim paintball. Operation: End War III follows a scenario that pits multiple teams against each other in storyline-related challenges, so your missions on the field directly affect what you get to do next, and how badly you beat your opponents. Sometimes you'll have to capture and defend a position; other times, search and destroy an installation. You won't know until word comes down through your chain of command, and then: it's time to lock and load. But only for those players hearty enough to muster at The Paintball Zone, and brave enough to try their hand at this true tactical challenge. When you discover the thrill of mag-fed paintball and want to take home that MKV Operation: End War rental package, you'll even get $100 off its purchase...which can completely offset your registration and rental fees! It's part of RAP4's mission to help players discover the heightened realism, challenge, and fun, of mag-fed paintball.

Tacamo MKV Ergo 1

RAP4 is proud to introduce the Tacamo MKV Ergo 1. The MKV Ergo 1 is one of the most ergonomic, and intensely customized, milsim markers available. Our engineers started designing this marker around our industry-leading MKV Mag-Fed Conversion Kit and Tippmann A-5 internals. Together, these rugged components combine to create the soul of this mag-fed marker, and allow it to operate, handle, and even look, just like a real duty-issue carbine. The interchangeable magazines hold paint under light spring pressure, pushing them into the chamber and holding them there to ensure proper function at even the highest cyclic rates...and to make sure you have a round in the chamber each time you pull the trigger. To give you maximum firepower, we include two magazines with each MKV Ergo 1, and a RAP4 Double Magazine Clamp - just like those used in the field right now - so that you can carry that spare magazine right there, barely an inch away from the chamber, ready to be swapped in at the push of the mag-release button. But the real story of the MKV Ergo is in the radically ergonomic styling that starts with the contoured rubber grips used on the pistol grip. We include an MKV Ergonomic Interface Trigger Guard that gives you a comfortable, two-finger gripping surface on the front of the trigger guard for controlling the muzzle and tracking moving targets while tucking your arms into your body for the tightest profile ever...which keeps you safe from incoming fire. Want to stretch your arms a little? The Mid Length Tactical RIS Handguard features four lengths of RIS rail, to which you can attach the (included!) RIS Vertical Grip. To make that handguard ergonomic and comfortable to hold - not to mention, providing snag-free service in thick brush - we thoughtfully include Stingray RIS Rail Covers. That handguard shrouds a 14" Recon Rifled Barrel that is crowned with an M177 Whisper Muzzle Brake. We don't want you to have to mess with bulky air tanks, or even with remote lines on the most ergonomic marker we've designed...so we put that air system right onto the MKV Ergo 1, concealed within a multi-position collapsible stock! The stock conceals your choice of onboard air source, including a 13ci 3000psi HPA tank, or a 5oz CO2 tank! The stock extends and collapses to accommodate your tactical vest or other bulky clothing, to provide a custom fit every time. Everything about the MKV Ergo 1 is custom, and designed for performance and your comfort!

Operation: End War III - Mission Brief

Operation: End War III is coming to The Paintball Zone near Waterford, CA, this September, and you need to be ready...because this mag-fed-only scenario paintball game is truly as real as it gets! RAP4 is working together with The Paintball Zone to put on a fast-paced milsim scenario that will truly test your tactical and teamwork skills. This is a mag-fed-only scenario game, meaning that only magazine-fed paintball markers will be allowed on the field. When you spot your opponents moving through the village, they'll be carrying equipment that is as near to combat-issue gear as you can get while still playing paintball! The look of their markers and other tactical gear will transport you into the milsim storyline of Operation: End War...and the magazine-fed marker in your hands will have the look, feel, and handling characteristics of combat-issue arms in use around the world. That also means that players will be limited to realistic ammunition counts of around twenty shots per magazine; that no one will have ugly, heavy hoppers ruining the aesthetic or giving an unfair advantage with unrealistic capacity; that you'll have to make every single shot count, and win by marksmanship and teamwork more than by slinging the largest paint budget! How good are you...really? Find out here, on September 29th and 30th. Our Operation: End War scenarios have proven so popular, that this is our third event in only two years. That success comes from the mag-fed fans who rush to our events and make them into newsworthy games. They use RAP4 battle simulation gear like paintball mines and hand grenades, wear tactical gear, and some even use throat mics to stealthily communicate while maneuvering through the brush. Is this the kind of realism and intensity you long for? The kind of adventure you've always wanted to have in paintball? Then there's only one place to be the last weekend in September: at The Paintball Zone for Operation: End War III! Limited camping is available in the parking lot, and while you can't have campfires, you can bring a cooler and self-contained cooking stove. Bring your friends and make a weekend of it. Rental packages are available for only $50 that include a magfed RAP4 marker, 3 magazines, a magazine pouch, tank, and air fills.

MKP Battle Rifle

Introducing the MKP Battle Rifle. This full-size battle rifle is built from Tippmann X7 internals installed within a Tacamo MKP Mag-Fed Conversion Kit, one of the hottest accessories in paintball! This body forms the receiver of the MKP Battle Rifle, and enables it to ditch that ugly hopper and use, instead, interchangeable spring-powered magazines. These mags push paint into the receiver under spring pressure, giving you the reliability - even at high cyclic rates - of a force-feed hopper, while enabling the MKP Battle Rifle to retain the look, feel, and even the balance of a true battle rifle. Each MKP Battle Rifle features an 18" Raptor Tactical Barrel crowned with a Whisper Muzzle Brake and enshrouded in a mid-length Tactical RIS Handguard that features four lengths of RIS rail for mounting virtually any mil-spec accessory...including the Micro Red Dot Sight, and RAP4 Tactical Flashlight that ship with each MKP Battle Rifle! To protect your hands, and encourage snag-free movement through thick brush and rugged terrain, we include Matador Rail Covers and Ergonomic Rail Covers that protect - and protect you from - sections of unused RIS rail. To help you get on target and accurately wield this full-size marker, we include a multi-position collapsible Magpul PTS MOE stock with a Solid Remote Line adapter that gives you a male remote line connector just forward of the stock. Extend it just so far as to give yourself a perfect, custom fit, hook up your remote line, and enjoy the ideal balance of this dramatic marker. From the muzzle brake to the collapsible stock, the MKP Battle Rifle is designed for rugged service and reliable accuracy.
