Rap4 Real Action Marker LE

I don't have a lot of exp yet but I a heve been on several fields, ranged and close combat and I must say that the new RAP4 t68 Xtreme (military use) is amazing both acuracy and eficency...maintenance maybe after 3000 shots and distances that I was able to hit are amazing, almost 100yards if target is stationary, the guy didnt even smell me lol, 1st rap4 was good but this is amazing, if u get a good scope and a laser u could be untoucheble and the .68 cal is powerfull, travels at 400-450 fps. I aslo carry a p99 whalter and 5 mags for each wpn. The only issue are the campers with snipers, they can hit u up to 200yards if u camp uncovered lol.

Over all, new rap4 t68X is top of the range and I hope they will come up with a 25-30 mag cap.

The only bad points I can think of is sometimes the Rap4 Real Action Marker can be very inconsistent in the accuracy of the shooting but is usually ok. This gun needs a lot of maintainence. This is good, as if you are prepared to put in the effort to look after it it repays you. It has great power and accuracy usually. I think it may be the paintballs that are dodgy, sometimes which is what causes the inconsistency, but I don't know for sure. The other thing is, which I don't know whether is just my gun or all of them, but my foregrip twists sideways a bit which is really irritating, especially if you have the wrist grip on and a foregrip handle. Otherwise this is a brilliant gun.

The Rap4 Real Action Marker LE paintball gun is a fun gun. Don't get me wrong, but if you are playing against opponents with hoppers, you are well out numbered. The accuracy on the gun is about the same as other Markers, Tippmans, and Spyders etc., but it is not dead on accurate, and you will find out that having only 20 shots before you have to reload is not fun.

If you are playing in the woods it is at a slight disadvantage for you, because the twigs and branches the .68 balls would break through, these will not. Shooting through brush or dense woods is not your game.

This is not a bad gun, you just have to use it at the right time, if you are playing against others that have this type or they are using pistols or limited ammo.

Review: This is the M4 Ram v4 LE with single shot and full auto modes. For those out there looking for the most realistic markers these can't be beat. So real swat and military orginazations prefer to train with this marker. NO HOPPERS!!!!! This uses real 21 round magazines loaded with paintballs in shell casings that eject when fired and that must be reloaded to provide the real wargame experience. I personally have owned the v4 marker and my brother has a v3, and now I just bought the latest version of this marker the LE. This new version addresses flaws with the original versions. Has 400fps and as accurate and as much range as a Tippman A5. Capable of 13bps on full auto, and the bps is adjustable. I use this marker to play against and with tipmman a5's, 98's, and angels. First of all tell me one marker that looks that real, their isn't. There is armotech, sim4, at4's and others but none are true 1:1 scale replicas, same weight and size like the rap4. So on realism it beats all. Now I know some of you don't care about realsim and think milsim paintball is stupid. Well be smart, dont forget paintballs roots. It started as woodsball in the woods wearing camo. It didn't start on a speedball field with players wearing motocross jerseys and stuff. I know I ride motocross. It started in the woods and today woodsball still is more popular with the most players. Most players aren't playing proball. A lot like milsim, not just airsoft players. And the problem for those who like realistic markers with airsoft is no mark to prove hits. I use my rap4 in games versus a5's and angels. And I have actually gotten out tourney players with my rap4. It doesnt matter if your mags only have 21 rounds and you have to reload mags. If you are good you should be able to take out the opponent with a shot or two. I will say it is good for woodsball mostly and is a serious disadvantage on a speedball field. I know I have used my rap4 at www.nashvillepaintball.com and they were cool about it. The problems with it on a speedball field is the too big size and no woods to use for cover. It was really hard playing speedball with it, although I did manage to eliminate a couple of the opposing players. One thing about these guns is the small air tank, it holds 2 ounces. Well first of all it is very efficient, since it launches a smaller 43 caliber paintball it is not a gas hog. But the small tanks can still be a pain. You have to refill them after each game or own multiple tanks. Thats why I use a remote line with my rap4. These markers are new on the block. They have only been out for a year now. But they are here to stay just like armotech, sim4, at4 and all the other m4/m16 type markers. The rap4 is a great marker. And I prefer the challenge of being skillfull with my rap4. There is nothing better than eliminating players who shoot like crazy, going into the games with a thousand shots, spaying paint all willy nilly. Then I take them out with a couple well placed shots.

Conclusion: Great marker for those looking for realistic 1:1 scale replicas. The LE version now puts the range and accuracy in the same range as a Tippman A5.
