RAP4 at the Field ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   A member of the forums asked this question in private, but I figured we should get this answer out in the public anyways.

could you help me out with answering a few things?
   are players permitted to carry more than one marker,( say a primary and a secondary like a pistol?)

OF COURSE !!! Bootman has been known to enter the Reichstag with a backpack FULL of 'backup' guns.

          can players bring their own paintballs for this secondary?(it shoots .43 cal, not the standard .68 cal)?

i could compensate such as pay the $61 for the secondary's ammo, unless
of cousre you carry the .43 cal. the marker in question is the RAP4
Combat Pistol shown here.

     as you can see i payed good money for this and i was wondering if i could use it. 

                                      thank you for your time, please respond soon.

We are a FIELD PAINT ONLY facility.  However, we do not carry the .43 cal rounds. 

This being the case, I will say that as long as the marker in question is your backup marker (ie. pistol ) and your primary marker uses the standard 68 cal field paint there would probably not be a problem.

I would however think that the field would not look kindly on you playing with the .43 cal paint primarily.

A Few Notes:

# 1:  It must chrono under 290 fps.

# 2:  You must inform the management of your intentions while registering so that the referee staff can be notified.

# 3:  Your breaks are going to be smaller, due to the size of the round.  This may be an issue with referees seeing the breaks, plus they are going to be looking for Field Paint Colors not necessarily marking the same color as yours.

# 4:  Players may ignore your breaks from the .43 cal marker assuming that because they aren't field paint they don't count (and they would be right to do so) until a ref can inform him of the exception.  Some players are intense and may get a little hot headed... so just be calm and deal with it.   You brought it upon yourself :)
