Introducing 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 RAP226 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.
