Now I know that as ALOT of you guys read this post and get into reading it, you are going to say what the heck is this guy typing about this for but give me a few minutes of your time to read this post and by the end of it you might be interested in purchasing what I am about to talk about.

Its not a firearm or a firearm accesory but rather a new style of paintball markers that the US goverment had contacted several paintball manufacturers in regards to manufactuaring markers of identical reproductions of the firearms used in todays modern military for the purpose of Special Operations  Training Simulations. The markers had to be exact duplicates of M4's, MP5's, and Glock17's with the markers functions operating exactly as the originals. By this they meant loaded, cocked and discharged in the same manner with same rate of fire and if possible improved accuracy over traditional markers being closer to the real firearms they replicated accuracy.

The result was RAP4's ( M4 ), RAP5 ( MP5 ) and RAP17 ( Glock17 ) and they are identical in every fashion to thier original counter parts with the exception that they shoot 40 cal paintballs rather then real bullets. They even made the markers to eject brass alloy or plastic ( for enviromental purposes wich are biodegradable ) on each and every shot fired from the markers weather in semiautomatic or fully automatic rate of fire. The markers were also made so that any accessory that could be used on the real counterparts could also be used on the markers.

Heres a few of the markers that are available to the public at 18 years of age or older and will show basic packages along with a few custom packages... bear in mind that these are in fact paintball markers and even the M203 under the M4 is a paintball launcher

I'd get one if I could get someone to hold still long enough to let me shoot them.   Anybody still have a link to that kid getting nailed with a paintball gun?
