Added… Check out the new BT-4 Delta Elite here !

Back in stock are BT’s two latest paintball markers, offshoots of the innovative and successful modular design that put them on the paintball map. One is comprised of several popular features all rolled into one low price and the other is a complete milsim monster! But before I discuss both of those I should probably draw your attention to the new loader, the BT Rip Clip Electronic Loader for BT-4 markers.

The Rip Clip basically takes the drive cone force feed of a HALO B and the sound activation and speed of an Empire Reloader , puts them in a compact housing and mounts it securely to the side of your BT paintball marker (no, it doesn’t fit other markers). The end result is a force feed hopper with a low target profile and plenty of room for accessories or even a monster 45mm dot sight! Force feed pushes right through pressure blowback so each ball is positively chambered and sound activation means that your loader won’t shut down from dirty, loose or broken eyes or wires. We are selling more and more BT Electronic Gripframes and this loader was designed to be the perfect companion.

This leads us to the next product from BT, the BT-4 ERC paintball marker. Lets see… BT has a very popular base gun, the BT-4 Combat, a successful electronic gripframe, an electronic loader and the hugely popular Apex Barrel that people often buy all at the same time… why not combo that all together in one box? That’s just what they did! The ERC combines all those great accessories into one pre-built package and saves you about $50 at the same time. You get the speed and cool burst and auto modes of the electronic frame coupled with a loader designed to feed those speeds so you not chopping paint like those old Ginsu Knife commercials and the adjustable backspin effects of the Apex Barrel for increasing your effective range and flat trajectory another 100 feet!

Now me, I need another paintball marker like I need a hole in the head… but dang, the new BT Delta paintball marker just looks and feels soooooo awesome. When we got them in I set one up and took it on a quick tour of the office to show the sales staff. Two hours later it finally made it back… everyone from the warehouse staff to sales to even the general manager wouldn’t put it down. The look of the Delta is based on the immensely popular MP5 line of submachineguns, again all centered around the basic BT body shells. The most striking feature is the retractable stock. Just like the real thing, a locking lever underneath lets two arms slide in or out along the length of the body. This allows for an incredibly short size for gear bag stowage or for that perfect fit when shouldering against a fully loaded tactical vest. A metal mag well holds a mock curved 9mm magazine and the top shroud over the barrel and body completes the look, even down to the authentically-styled front/ rear sights and side sling mount. Throw an Electronic Grip and Rip Clip on there and you have the complete SWAT scenario marker!

I’ve heard rumors of some big product changes in the future for BT, hopefully to be released at the Oklahoma D-Day game in July (looks like this event is going to become the World Cup of manufacturer’s releases of milsim/ scenario/ woodsball gear). If they are as well thought out and attractive as their current lineup they are already a winner.
