An M4 Real Action
Paintball Marker or RAP4, also known as M4 RAM is a
mechanically accurate paintball gun replica of a US
military and Police machine gun. The RAP4 operates in
the same way the real military firearm does except it
will only shoot PAINTBALLS. The paintballs are fitted in metal alloy
shells or biodegradable
plastic shells. The M4 RAM is powered by an environmentally friendly CO2 tank. The RAP4
ejects each spent paintball shell after it is fired just
like a real M4 machine gun. The RAP4 is a paintball
marker designed specifically for realistic combat
simulation, including magazine capacity (20 rounds),
function, and form. It features a fully automatic firing
mode.
Does
this gun use regular paintballs?
NO, this gun CANNOT fire
the regular 0.68 inch paintball. It uses a smaller
size, 0.43 or 0.40 caliber paintball that has an aluminum-alloy case or
a biodegradable plastic case.
Can
I use the RAP4 on any paintball field?
The best answer is:
Check with the field you want to play on, and make
specific arrangements with the management operating the
field. Running on to your local paintball field with
what appears to be a machine gun will certainly be
unwelcome, and will gain you attention you don't
want. The RAP4 is designed to be used with
standard paintball protective gear, and has a muzzle
velocity equal to the standard for tournament play -
280fps. The major consideration is that the RAP4 is VERY
REALISTIC in appearance and may not be welcome on all
paintball fields. Check to see if a private game can be
arranged where all the players are RAM owners, or are
aware of the operation and appearance of your marker. We
also suggest that you use biodegradable plastic
shells on outdoor fields.
Is the
RAP4 CO2 tanks refillable?
Yes, the RAP4 CO2
tanks are
refillable at any CO2 service locations.
Are
the magazines re-usable?
YES. They work
roughly the same way that real M4 magazines do - 20 rounds
must be manually inserted into the magazine, then loaded
into the gun. This can be done repeatedly.
Can
I use the RAP4 to play with other
paintballers?
Yes. The RAP4 is
designed as a paintball marker and requires only
standard protective paintball gear. However, the RAP4 is
also designed to simulate a real working military
machine gun, including the 20-round magazine. Most paintball guns use a 200 round hopper.
And, unlike other paint ball guns, the RAP4 can be
switched from semi to fully Automatic modes. The
RAP4 is most effective for in-door close quarter combat
scenario games.
Is
the RAP4 loud?
NO. It can be fired
without hearing protection. It does have a noticeable
and realistic report - like that of your regular
paintball marker.
How should I transport the
RAP4?
Carefully! Treat it as you
would a real firearm! It should only be transported
unloaded, in a gun bag or container, with the ammunition
in a separate container. Just as with any paintball
marker - IT SHOULD NEVER BE AIMED LOADED OR UNLOADED AT
ANYONE WHO IS NOT WEARING PROPER PROTECTIVE PAINTBALL
GEAR AND DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN A PAINTBALL GAME ON A
CONTROLLED AND REGULATED FIELD!
How hard is it to maintain a
RAP4?
QUITE EASY! Its maintenance is fairly
simple and it's easy to disassemble. The RAP4 is also
less complicated than most other paintball guns..
Is the RAP4 compatible with regular CO2
tanks (for examples: 9oz, 12oz, or 20oz)?
Yes, the RAP4 is compatible with the regular CO2 tanks.
