What is RAM?
RAM Marker Systems were specifically designed for use in force-on-force training. RAM Paintball Guns, or Real Action Markers, are practically identical to their firearm counterparts, yet RAM Markers are inexpensive to operate, accurate, and when used exclusively remove the risk of live ammunition making onto a training course. And as a bonus, RAM systems have become the ultimate in reality paintball gaming where Real Action Markers have become the latest craze in a sport where gamers are seeking to pump more realism into their battlefields. Watch a video of the RAM R-Series 43 caliber paintball rifle here.
RAM Systems were previously marketed in the United States by APS USA. In spring of 2007, Umarex USA introduced RAM for the first time with the Walther P99 RAM pistol. In December 2007, Umarex USA added to its RAM Paintball Gun line with the addition of RAM tactical rifles, two more paintball pistols, and a RAM shotgun.
Why RAM?
Cost, Realism, and No Risk of Live Ammunition making it onto a Training Course. Real Action Markers are designed to replicate the physical features, weight, and function of their firearm counterparts to provide law enforcement, the military, and government agencies with the best possible training tools available. These paintball guns fire .43 paintballs, or rubberballs for training or gaming exercises and remove the risk of live ammunition accidentally making it onto a training course and into a real firearm, thus creating an environment where tactical mistakes are still realized, but not life threatening.
RAM systems are simple and easy to use. Their CO2 power source is hidden in the stock or grip of the marker, and unlike traditional paintball markers that rely on gravity and a big hopper for reloading, Real Action Markers load through a realistic magazine providing the user with an incredibly realistic feeling for SWAT simulations and war games. Additionally, RAM tactical rifles utilize casings that eject upon firing, further simulating its live-fire counterpart. Accessories can also be mounted that provide the same optics or other controls that may be used by an operator. Combine all the features of a Real Action Marker and you have a marker that's exciting, easy-to-use, cost effective, and designed for even the most realistic close quarter battles.
