Question Where to find a Chinese S4? Are they Rare.

Ok, I know the Chinese S4 (made by china paintball in china) has been supposedly discontinued for years, but does anyone own one of these double barreled vm-68 clone on a wooden stock?

I am also aware that there are a TON of design flaws with S4, but has anyone had good luck with one of these.

What do they go for?

There you have it, if a custom shop airsmith says it's a piece of ****, it's pretty much unrecoverable.

I have one and it works, after some tweaking. There really isn't much VM in these things. the barrel thread was actually a spider thread with shorter breach.
they are also very uncomfortable to shoot. But it was fun to kill Crash-drive with it

The company that made the S-4 still exists. They are known today as RAP4.

Technically, RAP4 is just an importer for "China Paintball", but that would be the obvious choice as to whom to contact. The China Paintball website still lists them, though as "Discontinued". RAP4 is there primary US contact, so if anyone could still import a new one, that would be the place to go.

Question S4


Just curious. Has anyone else had any luck with the S-4? I know certian production model generations were worse off than others. Are they worth much for collecting?

You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with that thing. That's if they didn't hit each other in flight wile they crisscross. Crappy novelty. I mean come on wasn't the thing made in/and for japan.

It is pretty sad, but I still remember the website that sold the S-4 guns.
Click here for the original S-4 website

This earlier version has his actual email address.

I know Kyle eventually dropped the S-4 after receiving hundreds of complaints, and eventually started imported the M4. I don't know if he was ever directly connected with RAP4.
