Tacamo Revolutionary MKP-II Lok-Bolt

 

 RAP4 is proud to now offer our revolutionary Lok Bolt™ for the MKP-II. We appreciate our legions of magfed players, and by popular demand, have engineered the revolutionary Lok Bolt™ for your Made in USA MKP-II markers and Tacamo MKP-II Magfed Conversion Kits. The Lok Bolt™ eliminates even the possibility of chopping paint...and brings the MKP-II up to the same rate of legendary reliability as our game-changing 468.

The Lok Bolt™ is a truly revolutionary anti-chopping device because it offers dependable chop-eliminating performance in a completely mechanical package. Competing anti-chop technology relies on lasers and circuits, batteries and wires and other things that can break, deplete, and otherwise fail you when you need them most. That’s why we started from scratch to build a purely mechanical, completely foolproof, and deceptively simple anti-chop device that you can absolutely count upon.

The result is our Lok Bolt™. Utilizing a simple lever that is engaged only by a paintball properly seated in the chamber, the Lok Bolt™ keeps your bolt from closing on any partially-loaded paint...or on an empty chamber. That means that you can fire as fast as you want - with a quick trigger finger or an electronically enhanced firing mode (as with Tippmann Phenom MKP-II conversions) - without chopping.

The bolt hold-open function of the Lok Bolt™ also increases the realism of your MKP-II marker, which is crucial for the law enforcement agencies and military operators who use them in training. With no ball in the chamber, the Lok Bolt™ keeps your bolt from coming home on an empty chamber...perfectly mimicking the bolt hold open (after the last round is fired) function of duty-issue firearms. Just like on an M4 or M16 rifle, you insert a fresh magazine, cycle the charging handle to disengage the bolt hold open device on your rifle (or Lok Bolt™ on your marker, if you pulled the trigger on that empty chamber), and you’re back in business...

...with absolute confidence that your paint will load and cycle properly.

Charge their lines. Clear their base. Capture the objective...with confidence. That’s as real as it gets, thanks to the MKP-II and its Lok Bolt™!

OEW4: Best Of The Best


 

RAP4 is looking for the most dedicated players in paintball - the best of the best, to tackle an unparalleled challenge. This October 19th, near Copperopolis, California, we're deploying a select number of players to Operation: End War 4.

This magfed only, mil-sim scenario game is hosted by the real-world combat operators who staff Calaveras Tactical, a premier tactical training and security consulting organization with incredible resources. They're already working to create the perfect game environment, most realistic missions, and most authentic challenge, for our players...but we're only taking a limited number.

Once you register, you'll receive exclusive access to classified briefing materials, including the coordinates for the muster point that Saturday. You'll also have access to free camping, and a chance to enroll - for free - in Sunday combat clinics taught by Calaveras Tactical staff. In those clinics, you'll learn all about real-world combat tactics for room clearing and close quarters battle, for countering ambushes and obtaining field intelligence...and you'll get force-on-force training with real combat veterans.

To keep Operation: End War 4 as real as it gets, this is a magfed only event...so bring your magazine fed paintball gun, or when you register, reserve an MKP-II or 468 to use all weekend. With the amazing MKP-II, you'll bring to bear the reliability, power, and durable design of Tippmann's internal parts inside an exclusive magfed body designed to accept DMags. Choose the 468, and you'll deploy with the most realistic paintball gun ever devised, as that outstanding design is engineered to replicate the look, controls, and feel of an M4 carbine.

Whatever your choice in magfed paintball guns, you'll need to keep it real on this battlefield - the winner will be determined by marksmanship, teamwork, cunning, and tactical skill. Come see how good you really are when you answer the call for Operation: End War 4.

RAP4 At Best in the West SWAT Challenge

 

RAP4 is proud to have been a part of the Best in the West SWAT Challenge held recently by the Santa Clara County (California) Sheriff's Department. This invitational competition brought together SWAT-certified tactical law enforcement officers from across the West, to compete in live-fire matches that tested their marksmanship and teamwork, overall physical fitness and mental acuity under stress. The only thing missing was force-on-force work...

...so we brought along a booth full of 468s, RAP4 handguns, and the accessories that make our equipment truly as real as it gets. Between matches the officers had a chance to check out our state of the art 468, and marvel at how well it mirrored the weight, balance, and controls of the duty-issue weapons they spent the competition with. We had plenty of professionals first mistake our paintball gear for duty-issue firearms, their eyes widening when they learned the awesome fact that our equipment is all compressed air powered, less lethal...and perfectly suited to force-on-force training.

The competitions at Best in the West included the Jungle Trail, which required teams of two to follow the trail of a “fugitive” through thick brush as they encountered hostage targets and neutralized bad guy targets, detected booby traps and were timed for speed (as well as scored for accuracy). Tactical teams had to clear a SWAT live-fire house after forcing their way into it, using coordinated movements to safely navigate the structure while taking out all the hostile targets. Snipers even had to defeat a series of obstacles and running challenges interspersed with precision long range shooting. The competitions were made as realistic as possible, to determine who is the Best in the West.

They also served as a grand meeting of the minds of the best tactical operators in the west, as they observed each other utilizing slightly different tactics and learning refined techniques...and seeing what actually works, works even better, or doesn't work at all. Between the matches they talked about gear and training, about calls they've been on and how real-world tactical situations are solved.

Then they came past the RAP4 booth, where we joined the discussion and steered it towards force-on-force training. It's only relevant, we all agreed, when that training is as real as it gets - with real people shooting real projectiles at you in real environments, with equipment that really duplicates the point of aim and controls of your gear. We're proud to offer equipment that fits that training role perfectly, and to network with professionals to set up exactly that sort of dynamic training.

Then we discussed the role of the 468 and related RAP4 gear as less lethal munitions platforms, and things got really exciting. Cops love gear...and our gear is the state of the art for their training and crowd control. It was a great time to be in Santa Clara County, and a great event we're proud to support.
