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:

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.
