Brimstone Enterprises, Inc., makers of the industry-standard patented Ultimate Airball® inflatable bunker designs used by the PSP and NPPL, launches new BuildingBlocks™ Bunkers – a remarkably inexpensive, low-tech USA-built bunker system that should last for decades.
With BuildingBlocks™ bale covers, turn cheap organic straw bales into super cool-looking colorful, “Stone” or “Camo” or “3D Graphic” bunkers that clean easy and repel paint fill and grime, lasting for years and years, paying for themselves over and over and over again! Straw bales (wheat stalks) are available almost everywhere for a few bucks apiece, so you can create awesome GameScapes™ that last and last!
FOR YEARS, Field Operators have sought simple, affordable ways to build cool-looking bunkers and buildings for players to hide behind. Permanent buildings can be fantastic, but the materials and upkeep cost a fortune. Pallets, barrels, and wire spools are cheap and last a long time, but they look pretty rough. Ordinary hay and straw bales are cheap, but they fill up with paint, rot quickly, and stink to high heaven. Brimstone’s new BuildingBlocks™ vinyl bale covers retain shape and will not rot.
EASY to move, stack, design, and create with, Ultimate Rubble™ straw bunkers cost a small fraction of the price of inflatables, freeing Field Operators from the previous hassles of creating cool GameScapes™ for their valued players!
CREATE “blown-up” buildings, castle ruins, war-torn cities, destroyed fortresses and more. Use wooden boards to add windows and doors. Go double-wide for taller walls and roofable areas. Design massive super-forts so dozens of players can STAY ALIVE and shoot more and more paint. This is always good…
NO MORE Hassles: NO Valves, NO Stakes, NO Bungees, NO Gas or Electric blowers. Idiot-Proof. PERFECT FOR Woodsball, Scenario, Big Game, Laser & AirSoft GameScapes™

Rap4 and TAG Paintball will use Exclusive “Viper RTS” Gaming System for “Operation: End War”
Hollister, CA – The revolutionary scenario game “Operation: End War,” coming this October 2-3, will make full use of the proprietary Viper RTS scenario game system and RAP4′s cutting-edge marker technology. The event will be the first of its kind, as all markers will be magazine-fed in strict keeping with the mil-sim theme. Sponsored by scenario equipment leader RAP4, admission for “Operation: End War” includes a full rental package of RAP4 T68 magazine-fed marker, extra magazines, and a belt to hold them.
When planning the event, and considering the tactical and strategic focus of play, the organizers felt that the exclusive “Viper Real Time Strategy” (RTS) gaming system innovated by Viper Paintball was the only format they wanted to use.
The Viper RTS system creates a game environment that is simple to understand, with layers of complexity for those who choose to immerse themselves. This creates a scenario game that puts full control into the hands of commanders and players. The commanders set the pace, create their own strategy, and test their maneuvers while players engage in constant, meaningful action. There are no spoon-fed missions or strange scoring inconsistencies. Everything is “above-board” and directed by the commanders and the players.
Viper Paintball is eager to bring their Viper RTS system to the west coast, and feels that this tactical environment will make for an awesome west coast debut.
Patterned after “Real Time Strategy” video game designs like those used in “Command & Conquer” and “StarCraft,” points in the Viper RTS are accumulated by accomplishing objectives and strategically placing forces. Money is the result of your activities on the field, and supplies are made available by the possession of certain objectives and having the necessary funds to purchase them. Scoring and tracking is done by proprietary “Viper RTS” software.
Viper Paintball is excited to be working with RAP4 and TAG Paintball to bring this incredible, truly unique event to the players. The combination of the unique Viper RTS format, the tactical aspect of RAP4′s magazine-fed markers, and a great field like TAG, should make this an event to remember.
Attendance will be capped at 400 players, so register NOW!

VIDEO: View the Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive in action
RAP4 is proud to announce the new Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive. With this innovation, you can shoot your T68 marker at any angle, at any speed, and get a ball in the chamber for every single shot.
No chopping…no missing a beat – just paint, exactly when you need it.
The RAP4 Box Magazine holds 250 paintball, the Nautilus Drive provides positive feeding, and gentle enough to work with the most brittle paint. This balance is carefully achieved, using a patent-pending design you won’t find anywhere else. Easy to clean, easy to swap in and out, the Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive is your perfect solution for bulk paint feeding.
Use the Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive to simulate the M249 SAW’s hi-cap box magazine. Squad Automatic Weapons (SAW) have magazines and ammunition boxes that hold upwards of 200 rounds…and now, you can outfit your T68 to have that realistic level of onboard ammunition. Together with a RAP4 Firestorm select-fire trigger group, you can transform your T68 into a SAW!
Run heavy with the Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive installed on your SOCOM-configured T68, or just enjoy the convenience of having that much paint available for each and every trigger cycle. You’ll run out of opponents before you run out of shots…and if you need more, change it out and get right back in the game.
…and see why your scenario games will never be the same.

Bad Karma Goes Ape!
Team Gets Unexpected Mid-Season Sponsorship By Guerrilla Air
Bad Karma, a scenario, big game and CQB team from Salt Lake City, Utah, today announced they are now sponsored by Guerrilla Air. The unusual mid-year sponsorship includes famous Myth and Myth G2 regulators, carbon fiber systems and the rest of Guerrilla Air’s product line, and extends through the 2011 season.
Bad Karma players will run Myth and Myth G2 regulators on all air systems. Both regulators share the extremely low profile of 3/4 of an inch from ASA to tank. This enables players to run a tight on-gun setup and lower the entire air system profile when using a remote.
The Myth G2 is a unique regulator in paintball because it can not only be set to low, mid and high operating pressures for today’s paintball markers, but can have the position of the fill nipple and gauge customized to the player’s preference. This makes fills easier, as well as decisions on when to come off the field for scenario players.
“I run remote with an 88/4500 air system from Guerrilla Air,” said Chris Frank, Bad Karma Co-Founder and Executive Officer. “I love the profile of the entire system, the lower weight and consistency. Combined with the X7 Phenoms and Furious barrels, I can stay effective in a game for a long time.”
Nate Durbano, the team’s Co-Commander adds, “I have run Myth regulators on my four peanut tanks for a few seasons now. They are absolutely the lightest and tightest setups around and help me both get my X7 Phenom on target faster and experience less fatigue at the end of the day. Truly the best regulator out there.”
“A big welcome to Team Bad Karma,” said Mary Colby from Guerrilla Air, “a new addition to our Guerrilla Air family who incidentally picked up the Most Valuable Team award at Living Legends. Looks like a good fit!”

When South Carolina Scenario team, Fracture, wanted to get gear that would hold up to their rough and rugged style of play, they knew of only one place to look for gear that would comfortably withstand the abuse; and that was Valken Sports!
Fracture and Valken Sports has teamed up to get Fracture in Valken Sports V-Tac Zulu series pants. The Zulu pants are hands-down, exactly what Fracture needed. The V-Tac Pants don’t restrict movement, they keep you cool on those hot summer days (extensive venting on the legs). They have Kevlar reinforced knees and the entire pant was designed to keep you moving while giving you the comfort, durability and value you deserve.
Fracture team owner Steven C. Price had this to say about Valken Sports: “I’ve been watching Valken Sports blow up the scene for awhile now. I was there at the CFOA when they debuted their speedball line and I was so impressed that I am now wearing their V-Tac pants” . “ Valken Sports puts a lot of thought in to what the player needs to stay on the field longer, movement to be more fluid and providing a product that was built to last. When we looked at what we needed as a team, Valken Sports V-Tac Pants is what we had to have”, said Price
Valken Director Greg Muller said, “We are honored that Fracture has chosen to team up with Valken and thoroughly put our V-Tac line to the test”. “ Fracture is not only a tough, dedicated and eager team, they have partnered with us to provide detailed feedback to ensure the scenario players’ needs are not only met, but exceeded. We look forward to an excellent 2010 season”, added Muller.
Valken Sports is the exclusive distributor of Redemption, Crusade, Fate, V-TAC, SLY and Worthington branded paintball products. For more info check them out at www.valken.com and be sure to follow Valken on Facebook.
We can’t say enough about this partnership between Fracture and Valken Sports we are proud to wear their gear on the field and to support their logo!
Thank you.

Operation: End War – Arming You Right for the Battle of a Lifetime!
Operation: End War will not only redefine the scenario gaming experience, it will leave you a better-equipped player! This is the world’s first scenario to limit paintball markers to only magazine-fed models, such as the T68 SplitFire and the RAM Combat Pistol, with the goal in mind of creating the most realistic milsim gaming experience to date – you don’t see hoppers in Afghanistan, and you don’t find brightly colored speedball-style combatants in Fallujah.
And you won’t find that stuff at Operation: End War, either…it’s milsim all the way, from the scenarios to the gear. If it takes a magazine, looks as real as it gets, and fits with the military aesthetic, you’re good to go. For players who haven’t made the leap of self-confidence to limited paint in magazine-fed markers, here’s your chance to upgrade your arsenal.
Pre-paid registrants for Operation: End War will receive access to exclusive offers from title sponsor Real Action Paintball. After your registration is complete, you qualify for your choice of two exclusive gear packages. Register today, order tomorrow, practice this weekend…and when End War comes around in October, you’ll be ready to command the field!
Package Deal One: You get the cutting-edge T68 Gen6 .68 caliber semi-automatic marker, an exact replica of the M4 carbine currently in service around the world. To feed it, you get three 18 round magazines – they detach and interchange just like magazines on the real M4. You get a 3000psi HPA tank, a three-magazine pouch and belt to strap it to your body. All this would retail for well over $600, but is available in this exclusive package for only $350.
Package Deal Two: You get the newly release RAP4 XPower .43 caliber marker, which is an identical reproduction of the M4 carbine that accepts twenty round detachable magazines. The XPower uses brass, or biodegradable, shells around its .43 caliber paint to allow the spring pressure necessary to keep up with its insane cyclic rate. These cases then eject out of the right side of the marker, just like shells out of the real M4! The package includes three magazines for the XPower, a 3000psi HPA tank, three-mag pouch and belt.
For $25 more, you can upgrade the pouch and belt to a full-on Strikeforce Vest, and carry far more gear…in complete comfort.
Are you planning to bring your own magazine fed marker, like the T68 SplitFire you already use? That’s awesome – every player who brings their own magazine-fed marker (and thus doesn’t need the rental package) gets a $50 voucher towards any purchase on www.rap4.com…so you can get the rest of the gear you need to become the ultimate mag-fed player.
Get your team registered now for the October 2-3 event…and use these incredible offers to get geared up to practice this weekend!

Real Action Paintball is proud to introduce the T68 M4 Firestorm, a select-fire electronic marker that preserves the ergonomics, aesthetics, and balance of the M4 Carbine battle rifle.
Our engineers built the very image of an M4 Carbine around the proven T68 receiver. The Firestorm Trigger Group is an electronic grip frame that preserves the aesthetics of the M4 – no double finger triggers here – while giving you select fire capabilities: true semi-auto, 3 Round Burst, and Full Auto.
Paint is force-fed into the marker via the 18 round, detachable magazine that inserts just like the real deal. For quick reloads under fire, push the mag release button, slide in a fresh magazine, and when it clicks home the internal spring will push a stack of 18 paintballs up into the receiver. This gives you positive feeding at high rates of fire, with the marker held in any position.
The multi-position collapsible stock extends for a comfortable, secure shoulder-weld, and collapses down to CQB size for ease of carry and playing in tight places. The 14″ Tactical Barrel, complete with flash hider, gives you the perfect balance between accuracy and compact size, while the M4 hand guards give you a good place to grip the marker…and add to that M4 look.
When you have time to line up a careful shot, use the metallic sights built into the carry handle and M4-style front sight unit. The carry handle is removable, so you can mount optics and accessories to the top rail along the receiver. Cock the marker with the M4-style charging handle, and let the Firestorm Trigger Group take over from there!
The T68 M4 Firestorm is the very image of the M4, and comes complete with the authentic fire modes you’ll find on the real deal. This makes them ideal for law enforcement and military training, and fantastic for your scenario gaming and role playing. Real Action Paintball – As Real as it Gets!
Scenario Woodsball Paintball Organization (SWPO) Holds Successful Charity Event at Warplay Paintball to Raise Money for Hospice Care
The not-for-profit organization SWPO & Warplay Paintball raise funds for hospice in the largest event ever played at Warplay paintball.
Washington, D.C. – Over this past weekend, the not-for-profit Scenario Woodsball Paintball Organization (SWPO) based out of Washington D.C., hosted a charity event at Warplay Paintball in Locust Grove, VA. The event turned out to be the largest ever held at Warplay Paintball and the first ever to support hospice care for the millions of Americans that utilize hospice every year.
The event, largely regarded as a huge success, raised a substantial amount of funds in donations as well as sponsorships and raffles at the event. People from all over Maryland, Virginia, D.C., Delaware and even as far as West Virginia came to participate in the charity competition. All SWPO proceeds for this event were donated directly to the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO).
Hospice care in America has been facing several cuts over the past few years, and community support is needed to ensure that the Medicare Hospice Benefit enacted by Congress in 1982 is protected. SWPO was honored to help the hospice cause. For more information on Hospice Care or NHPCO visit www.nhpco.org.
Warplay Paintball, known for its aggressive play style was founded by former U.S. Marine Tor Strom. The field has a fitting motto of “All paintball fields were not created equal” which greets players as they enter the park. As the motto implies, Warplay is a field that competes with the best of them, with its well designed structures and the ability to adjust to multiple match formats, the park has accumulated an almost cult like status amongst local players.
The Scenario Woodsball Paintball Organization, a not-for-profit organization formed in 2008, is an active contributor to the local Woodsball scene. The organization hosts scenario paintball events, works with charities to raise money, helps fields to promote their own events, and is also working on a scenario Woodsball league. The SWPO’s main mission is to promote the sport of paintball in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia region by supporting local fields and stores and using new and innovative ways to attract new players to the sport. SWPO is the largest not-for-profit organization representing Woodsball players, fields, and stores in the MD, D.C., and Northern Virginia area. The organization is becoming well known for their objective based scenarios and aggressive play style as well as their ability to attract new players to the sport.
Some of the many sponsors that made donations to make this event possible include: Kee Action Sports, VForce, Draxxus, EZ Designs, Hollywood Banners, BT Paintball, PEV’s Paintball, Warplay Paintball, Empire, Invert, JT, RPS, Torrid Paintball, NHPCO Hospice Action Network, yespaintball.com, paintballgeex.com. Many thanks to these great companies and organizations for giving back not only to their local community, but for all Americans who will one day use hospice care.
