Anybody have any experience with one of RAP's line of pb markers? They look pretty sweet but are they worth the money?

If you are a die hard milsim fan. Not realy practical for normal paintball. It only holds 20 rounds per clip. And to buy enough clips to be effective ( I figured on 21 ) it would cost like 500 bucks. The tanks are difficult to fill, they go by grams instead of ounces. If you want a milsim gun get an armotech or a tippman.

But, if you own an ar15 it would be realy fun to play with.

Edit: I didn't see that you were talking about 68 caliber RAP guns; so I wrote a post about why RAMs are a joke.

They're very expensive, $500+, extremely low quality (you should see the picture on their site, showing the quality difference in the stock barrel vs. aftermarket ones.) The internals, "the core" is not designed to be user servicable. Each round has to be manually loaded into a sleeve (which ejects from the gun, similar to a bullets casing) before being loaded into a clip. Fields also don't like to fill the little C02 tanks that RAMs use (very narrow diameter tanks designed to fit inside the stock of a gun. Furthermore, the paint is .40 or .43 caliber, and doesn't travel as far as a .68 caliber round. This can be an issue at some fields, because their insurance covers .68 caliber paintball guns firing semi auto (RAMs tend to be fired full auto)

Just buy a tippmann a5 for like 225 dollars. They out perform the RAP series by a mile. (Can you say CYCLONE FEED)!
