Incredible Styling: The SIM-4 RIS is built to look and feel just like the real M4. From the realistic M-16 style cocking lever to the telescoping stock you will think you are holding the real thing. Used by military personnel around the world the SIM-4 RIS is respected by player and professional alike.
Easy Maintenance: With quick strip field pins and a unique two piece body design that allows you access to internals, the SIM-4 RIS is a breeze to maintain and operate. The barrel is designed to be easily removed for quick cleaning even under fire.
Accuracy and Distance: No longer will you have to shell out extra for a quality barrel. The SIM-4 RIS comes standard with a 14" precision honed barrel designed for extreme accuracy, even at a distance.
Durability: The SIm-4 RIS is engineered from the ground up to take a pounding. This isn't just an assembly line produced marker with some cosmetic add-ons the aluminum alloy construction will make it through even the roughest games. Each and every SIM-4 RIS is hand assembled and tested prior to leaving our facility to ensure you receive a marker ready to use the day you receive it.
Compatibility: Because this marker was designed to look and function like its real counterpart, the SIM-4 RIS will allow you to use many of the actual accessories designed for the M4. Everything from Scope Mounts, RIS Kits, to Night Vision systems, if its compatible with the real thing, it probably fits on the SIM-4 RIS.
RIS Kit: The RIS “Rail Interface System” gives you the ability to accessories your SIM4 RIS more than any other marker out there. The RIS starts with an aluminum hard-anodized for-grip for added durability, and then to that we attach four removable “weaver” style rails, along with olive colored removable comfort grip panels. These rails allow you to mount a host of aftermarket components such as; flashlights, tactical handles, night vision optics, illuminators, GPS equipment, bipods, the list goes on. The RIS kit allows the user to accessories their marker to the fullest.

| Review: |
This paintball marker is over-priced, way toooooo heavy, prone to breaking down, and it is only consistent in that there are always problems. Period. I would not recommend this gun to anyone. In fact, if you look at ebay, you can tell that most people who pick it up agree, and get rid of it for something that works. That being said, here are the problems. First, it will fire hot out of the box and you will have to cut the velocity spring. Second, the remote unit offered by Ariakon is a complete piece of garbage. I used two and they both broke within 5 minutes of using them. Third, the marker is extremely heavy. Fourth, I put on Ariakon's electric trigger and after about 1 1/2 hours of use, the marker just stops firing (btw, my friend, who owns the same marker, with the exact same equipment, has had the exact same problems). |
 |
| Conclusion: |
1. Don't buy it.
2. If you do, don't waste your money on the electronic trigger.
3. Don't buy it |
