Tactical Handguards--Function, Form, and Firepower


Custom handguards not only dress up your marker and round out its image, they also give you dynamic solutions to aiming, mounting optical sights, and attaching flashlights or lasers. Real Action Paintball has M4 style handguards, and "space gun" style handguards like those on competition AR15/M16 rifles. These handguards give you the function and style you need for scenario gaming, and are completely compatible with your favorite barrel--no need to alter your barrel at all to install Real Action handguards!

Before you choose which handguard package to order, you need to find out what style barrel is on your paintball gun. There are 3 types of barrel designs currently used:

1. Beveled barrels are bigger at the base and get smaller in the middle, then big again at the muzzle brake. These barrels can only be used with the Phantom Handguard.
2. Straight barrels have the same exterior diameter from the base to the muzzle. These barrels can take all types of handguards.
3. Tactical barrels have a bigger base, a smaller center and a removable muzzle brake. This barrel is the most versatile style, is able to take all types of handguards.

The Phantom handguard is used with the beveled barrel because it has set screws that mount on any barrels. The Phantom handguard is optimized for beveled barrels. The beveled barrel can also be affixed with a removable front sight!

Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol


The new Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol for scenario, Milsim (military simulation) paintball players and for Law Enforcement personnel. Although capable of holding up to eight .68 caliber paintball projectiles in its magazine, the Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol is the most compact paintball pistol of its kind.

The magazine holds a 12 gram disposable CO2 cartridge that powers up to twenty four shots before needing replacement. The most unique feature of the Black Bird Paintball Pistol is that it reseals itself when the magazine is removed for reloading. Resealing preserves the remaining CO2 pressure and puts the Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol in a league of its own.

The Black Bird Tactical Pistol is built for high performance. It is highly accurate with a built in regulator that stabilizes paintball velocity under any weather condition, especially during rapid fire. As well, the pistol frame is made of high impact stainless steel, urethane, and aircraft aluminum for the highest durability under rough use.

The Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol is the Law Enforcement version of the Tiberius Arms Tac8. This version has increased power - especially necessary for use with non-lethal and less-lethal applications - having a top velocity over 350 feet per second.

What is non-lethal and less-lethal?
Weapons that are explicitly designed and primarily employed so as to incapacitate personnel or material while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury, and/or undesired damage to property and the environment are referred to as non-lethal or less-lethal. This includes such compliance products such as rubber balls, OC Balls, and powder balls.

The Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol is designed to fill a critical gap in the use of force and to provide law enforcement officers and correctional facility guards the safest, most effective non-lethal tools in a variety of applications.

Key Features of the Black Bird Tactical Paintball Pistol:
- Highly accurate with an advanced regulator

RAP226 Sig Sauer P226 Paintball Pistol



The latest training tool to law enforcement, the RAP226. A 1-to-1 scale replica of the legendary Sig Sauer 226, the RAP226 is designed to replicate the look, feel, and functionality of the real Sig 226 handgun widely used by law enforcement agencies around the world. The RAP226 is a redesign of the popular RAP17, with enhancements to improve the overall performance and reliability of the marker. The unit design has a new magazine reload mechanism, making each reload easier while also helping to prevent jams. The magazine of the RAP226 been redesigned, too, and is now composed of metal instead of the plastic of the previous version.

The RAP226 functions like a real handgun with strong blowback action. It is powered by a refillable, internal, built-in CO2 reservoir inside the handgrip which can shoot 30 rounds of .43 caliber paintballs per each fill. A RAP226 EX version that uses a 12g disposable CO2 cylinder inside the handgrip is also available, capable of fire 50 shots per cylinder.

Both the slide and internal mechanism are made of hardened metal alloy and steel that can withstand any condition of use. The barrel is made of light-weight aluminum, helping to keep the overall weight of the marker down. The pistol frame is marked by rugged construction that can withstand drops and rough use. This is the most significant improvement of the RAP226, and answers requests by many agencies that the new pistol be able to survive in the training arena.

The RAP226 does not eject shell casings. Up to 10 paintball marking rounds are loaded into a magazine, and the magazine is inserted into the handgrip. Like a real handgun, the RAP226 stops shooting when out of ammunition. The muzzle velocity is adjustable, topping out between 250fps and 300fps. The effective range of the RAP17 is 20m (65ft), and the maximum range is 50m (160ft).

A new "Hard" version of the .43 paintball, specially made for the new RAP226 pistol, is also available. The new paintball is designed to prevent breakage in either the launching chamber or in the barrel.

The RAP226: Sig Sauer 226 is available in October of 2006.
