This is EXACTLY...what one wants with security detail ..say part time officers, bouncing night club doors or property management with folks always causing issues.. especially the nylon shot...if you throw a strap on this and guard your club at the door it and as long as you don't give specs on your gear it will be intimidating to those who may come for trouble...I def recommend this peice to security personal in ALL OF FLORIDA lol.....I so enjoyed this update review..
Nice video as always. Congratulations with your new HDX68. Thanks for the shoutout. Very interesting job you have. If you remove the valveblock and small brass restrictor you should get ca 35 joule or more from it. But it seems to be a complicated job working on it. I dont think I open mine unless something breaks in it... I hope you find a nice home for you and your family. Good luck my friend. Greetings from Norway 😃👍
Thank you Maestro! I know, I’m desperately looking for someone who can do the mod for me. This thing is so beautiful that it only makes sense if all tuned up 😎 I hope so too, otherwise also my bedroom will become the shooting range ahahaha! Be well my friend! And thank you as always
I think you can Diesel this weapon with 3 n 1 oil and get 30 or more fps per shot on the first few BUT, this will ruin your weapon and it may even backfire causing blindness or worse when the oil become an exsplosive projectile..there are vids on dieseling your pellet rifles but I don't recommend it .
@@winndixie5505 Yes. Dieseling is bad for all guns. It will blow seals etc and can be dangerous. I have only had dieseling in some spring piston airguns, never in markers. Maybe the pressure isnt hi enough to make them diesel? Not sure.
I'm in Texas and every hurricane everyone runs this way... I've seen some shjt man. I need one of these. I took the bottom and cut a cup shape from a co2 cartridge and strung it in a slingshot. I bought some tcp pepperballs and can launch em with out pinchng them open by placing em in the cup shape... works awesome, never fails, need no charge... lol it'll move a small crowd or stop a moron for a minute ..
Thanks a lot man!! And well done on the modds ! Sounds awesome! We’re getting a hurricane in the Panhandle this weekend- get ready for everyone to run your way hahaha Thanks again bro
Loved the video as always. Great to see you firing a gun which most of us are actually allowed to own for a change! For 7.5 joules, that's pretty impressive. We'll, it is for a Brit at least. We're barely allowed to own a spud gun over here! Good luck with the house hunting.
Hahahaha! Indeed I’m glad I could demonstrate it’s 7,5 joules power. And what a number on those coconuts!! Indeed a promising extra punch for my Brit friends !
Cool video, thanks. I've had the 16 Joule version since October 2021, I've only fired it once. For information these Umarex T4E Markers always have a Letter 'F' inside a pentagon near the serial number IF they are the 7.5 Joule version. It signifies that it is legal to own in Germany where 7.5 Joules is the legal license free limit for Air weapons
Bel cannone!! Intro fuori scala come sempre, immagini di Antigua da sogno!! Tornando al ferro, per sbarattolare con stile ufologico è veramente azzeccato anche nella versione da 7,5j ma almeno qui in Italia il prezzo è importante e divora co2 come se non ci fosse un domani. Certo 16 colpi nel caricatore fanno davvero gola...
Hahaha grazie Paolo! Si questo costa un casino, certo il 7,5 joules è quello più economico e come hai visto i cocchi li apre per bene. In testa fanno male 🤕
Excellent 15' close-quarters demo of that bone stock low-Joules HDX 68 shooting aluminum rounds at a hard-shell coconut. No doubt your stock HDX's performance has even the most demanding power-addict now quivering in his nightly dreams; during which he sees himself conducting his own "coconut power test." The results, the dream continues: his max-powered HDX pulverizes the coconut into dust, done so with a SINGLE BLAST from his HDX 68 shooting titanium sabot rounds. Side note: because of these results he has now nicknamed his HDX "Spawn of Satan."
rule of thumb when there's a F in a pentagon on it that means 7,5j max. I think it signals compliance with German law or sth... waiting for the 40j unless the 7,5/16 can be turned into 40+ because its very underpowered for such a shotgun but its so good looking...
Thanks for that! Makes complete sense, as it was the case for the HDR 50… didn’t know it was a German law thing, interesting. I’m looking into the possibilities of getting it modded to 40j 🤞🏽🤞🏽
The 7,5 joules variant seems to be woefully underpowered. In Romania I bought the 40 joules version and with 6,8 grams rubber balls goes through 10 cm/4 inches of pork lean meat. Also, it hits a 2,5 cm / inch pork bacon so hard that the ball bounces back when it reaches the thick pork skin. I shot a frozen pork rib and did a nice dent in it, but without perforation. A new ceramic roof tile is broken from the first shot, provided that the 88 gram CO2 bottle is fresh. This HDX-68 in the maxed 40 joule version is definitely a match for what the police is packing for riot control.
Salut, ai achizitionat-o din magazinul IDM ? te întreb pt ca si eu am una de 40 j si am achiziționat-o de acolo, însă nu sunt sigur că are puterea asta
Salut. Nu am cumparat-o din Romania, deși ea se poate aduce la comanda. Am văzut-o disponibila in Austria și am luat-o, fara sa mai aștept 30 de zile comanda din Romania. Știi că este varianta de 40 joules daca vine fara adaptorul de 2 magazii de 12 grame CO2. Deci tubul de 88 grame CO2 se infiltrează direct in jucărie.
@@mariusadriantoma870 A mea are un adaptor cred ca tot de la Umarex este, despre care vânzătorul mi-a spus ca l-a montat ca sa se poata trage cu ea si cu butelii de 12g, dar care a zis ca se scoate (am vazut ca se poate desfileta) si se poate pune butelie de 88g, iar asa ca si detalii am vazut ca pe cutie scrie
if you got the gun from modern combat sports you should get universal air adapter for all your umarex airguns I got one from them it works great especially when you upgrade them to a higher joule
Like always great video. I was patiently waiting for the HDX 68. But you must speak to Troyz Toyz. I'm also sorry you have to move during these economic times. Stay positive, change is for the best. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much and all the same to you and your family! I’m sure we’ll find something - I wouldn’t mind a garage actually. That could be a nice upgrade. No more fighting with extreme weather, neighbors and noises…. As you said it may be a positive thing. We shall see! I’m calling Troy tonight! 😁🤞🏽💪🏼
Hey, just finished watching this (great video by the way). 17:05 NO IT IS NOT SIMILAR. If you check closely between those two tries you will see that with the steel balls the pumpkin is wobbling vividly so much that even the table moves. So steel balls certainly transfer more joules!
Sie haben Recht, ich bin ein erfahrener Schütze und habe mehrere Feuerwaffen zu Hause, aber ich habe eine HDX68 in 40J mit 20gr Stahl kugeln in meinem Schlafzimmer. meine Schusswaffen sind so gut gelagert (Vorschriften), dass ich sie nie rechtzeitig erreichen kann. Ich kann Ihnen versichern, dass es nicht Ihr bester Tag ist, wenn Sie von ein paar 20gr Stahlkugeln in 40J getroffen werden. Ich betrachte es also als eine Möglichkeit, meine Familie und mein Zuhause zu verteidigen. Die Möglichkeiten in Deutschland mit 7,5 J sind in meinen Augen tatsächlich Spielzeug.
aMany thanks for the review. What if you shoot savagecriminal with some pepperballs , the charge the perp with the barrel and hit him as much as possible until he passes out. It doubles as a blunt force weapon too. Worth buying this.
Alright mate . Gotta say you've got a very interesting job travelling around everywhere .if you keep your trigger down after your first shot you can rapid fire it using the pump action don't know if you know👍 really do need to get one gonna start saving my pennies 😂 as always keep up the good work
Stuart!!! Really?? I didn’t know mate!! Thanks for the tip! Will try pump action shooting next time! Save up buddy! Hopefully Umarex won’t come out with a new gun for at least another 6 months. Gives you time to buy this one! Thank you as always mate!
Great video. That launcher is certainly beastly looking. It remains to be seen what level of power it is capable of. I think the internals of it are quite complicated compared to some of the other large Umarex models. Be safe from that scary sounding hurricane coming toward FL. My wife and daughter are flying back from Italy today just in time for the hurricane. Sad to hear you will have to find another alley. I will miss my GA house basement range when the day comes that I retire to FL permanently.
Oh man, I hope my man Troy will be up to the task! I’ve yet to ask him, but I’m strongly confident he can turn it into a 40j without too much effort! But let me check with him first hahaha Less-lethal for dummies is getting pretty close him self! Damn, sorry to hear - best thing would’ve been YOU joining THEM in Italy during the hurricane! I actually filmed the video for next week already and posted it for Sunday - as I’ll be chasing that thing to wherever it makes landfall. It’s gonna be a long and wet week! (And you guys might get some of it in GA if it keeps this current track) Hey if you loose your basement and move to FL we can join forces and become Scaredy Cat Alley !!
Be safe this week. GA is the worst with any storm. Atlanta is mostly pine forest with huge trees that topple power lines. I wish I could have went on the trip with the family but grant deadline in the way.
Thanks for the video. It there any risk of damaging your barrel or airguns using these aluminum. 68 caliber rounds? Thanks in advance for your input. Stay safe and healthy. Peace
Hello my friend! I would say no. Of course these are paintball launchers, so the most ideal ammo is always the softer one. But… the aluminum balls are the “softest” and lightest metal projectiles out there. I consider them very safe :) Have fun!!
@@AirgunAlley Thanks. Appreciate your input I've ordered twenty four.68 caliber round aluminum balls to test out. I want to see what they'll do in my Byrna Mission 4. (Smile)
I find you can load these much quicker by unscrewing the magazine cap, removing the follower spring and follower. Drop in 16 balls and reverse the process.
According to their website 11 joules these are the Specifications I got from the web, cool gun but I just spent a bunch of money on a pepper ball TCP so it's going to have to wait wish they just sold it in the 40 joules version rather than having to find someone to convert it. Operation Type: Pump Action Ammunition Type: .68 caliber rounds Ammunition Source: Integrated magazine holds 16 rounds and is quickly and easily loaded with the Length: 25.5 inches (647mm) Weight: 5.52 Range: +/- 80ft Velocity: +/- 280fps Impact power: 11 Joules Air-Source: 2 x 12g CO2
Hey man! Yes - I actually need to let them know that it’s not the 11j, but the 7,5j. Absolutely - I’d also wait for the 40joules to come out. If it’ll come out 🤞🏽
Hey thanks so much as always!! I haven’t! I’m so stuck with the T4E toys these days that I’ve hardly has the change to look around and to diversify. I’ll def keep them in mind. Are you happy with them?
It seems you ignore (?) the .43 T4Es. Why is that? With a smaller diameter the trajectory will be better, right? A rat, a bad pigeon or a very bad jackrabbit might be easily killed from 40ft (12m) away. Or not?
Haha no I’m not ignoring the 43 cals - I just never got around owning one. Yet. Personally, I’m in it more for the coconuts and if needed, to use against the skull of a home aggressor. Any T4E (minus the HDS 68) can do a lot of damage, if fully modified. Distance however is its soft spot. They are definitely short range guns, especially with heavier slugs
Ok! I actually shot a wood door yesterday with those, using my HDR 68 30 joules. The door won, actually. Small denting only. Have a look on Sunday. I’ll try it my friend, after the hurricane we’ll have boards of all sizes everywhere…. I’ll look for a 3/4
Bonjour l'ami, vous verrai c'est vraiment un beau fusil à pompe de défense j'ai la version 16 joules sa envoie du lourd jolie déballage et bonne vidéo. Bonne fin de dimanche.
So I started watching this channel some time ago and I am enjoying it. I am a caretaker at a freeway rest area and cannot own a firearm. I thought of getting the Byrna HD then I started watching these videos . Now I don't know what to get. I just watched the latest video with the aluminum balls and the HDR 50... impressive. I don't know what direction to go now. Any suggestions?
Hi John, thanks you for watching my videos! In my opinion, I would stick to your plan. I’ve yet to try the Byrna guns, but they are the ones trusted by law enforcement in the US and designed purely for that purpose (while the HDR50 remains a paintball gun). That said, the T4E line - as you see in my videos - is indeed impressive and keeps getting better. But perhaps I recommend them as a second choice….
Dude with how talented you are at doing these vids and editing but you should create a new channel that’s devoted to real pew pews imo your right up there with demo ranch and Kentucky ballistics what I’m saying is you’ve got the talent to make some serious money doing what you do
Thanks Cameron!! Wanna be my agent? hahahaha! You can’t immagine how much how I appreciate your comment, it’s words like yours that push people like me to keep striving to do better! I do feel like at some some point I’ll be doing more various content. Real guns are hard to shoot in your backyard hahaha and with a family, a full time job, that’s all I can afford right now. But hey, if one day I get some nice sponsors that want to help… the sky is the limit! Thank you again so, so much!!
@@AirgunAlley heck yes I’d love to be your agent :) if you’d be up for coming to Nebraska I’ve got a couple few that would be prime for reviews I’d do it myself but plainly spoken I get camera anxiety but the offer always stands but in the meantime I love watching what you put out there and so far I’ve got 2 launchers that I’ve purchased because of your channel and they’re great fun in time these will become more popular but (professional) gun tubers are makings some serious dough just by going out in the country and plinking away no matter what u decide keep it up!!!!!
i would like to see one shot at 700 to 1000 fps. You would have something to protect yourself with for sure. Then again at the same price you can buy a old 590 or 870 shotgun witch is far better for the house.
GREAT VIDEO ...BUT...Why does no-one ever test for grouping. with your detail I really thought you would do it. Its not an accuracy weapon we know that, BUT really what is the grouping at 10, 20 30 ft? I live in the UK and everyone is weapon scared even air rifles. Just one review on grouping and power at range. Over 30 ft probably irrelevent. Still would be great if you can do an accuracy vid not sure why no-one does.
Hey Peter, you make a very good point and I'll make sure to do more accuracy tests! My filming environment will be changing as I'm moving at the end of the month. I'll have a complete new set up, again I'll make sure to have it properly made for testing groupings from a distance. Again thank you!
@@AirgunAlley Hi That would be great. I brought mine to a place in the country to test myself. However, the neighbours would get stirred up at the sound of it. This is the UK people have such a stigma to even airguns, laws too. I live in hope, one day I will be somewhere I can do all the tests myself.
I wasn’t able to find anything 68 caliber on Amazon, other than these! I know Homedefense24 sells them, but I haven’t compared the total cost difference yet! I actually have a box of homedefense24 68 cal steel balls - so we’ll soon se the difference in quality and price… If you have links to cheap 68 cal steel balls, please send them over - I’m always interested :)
Thanks for another great unboxing video I've seen and shot this gun before the 40 joules is really kick ass so looking forward to seeing your power upgrade and good luck with the moving from Less Lethal SA 🇿🇦
Oh man! I’m happy you had a taste of the real deal! Fantastic stuff! I can’t wait to shoot it once it’s all tuned up! And congrats for Brad Binder’s 2nd place today in Japan MotoGp! 👏🏼👏🏼
@@AirgunAlley one question...there is a company here in Germany (i am not in any way affiliated with them or get anything for it) that makes some really interesting slugs for the HDR50/68 and HDS. If you are interested in testing them, I'd send you some. Over here in Germany I can unfortunately not try them with full power, because of our gun laws restricting all free obtainable weapons to 7.5joule.
Hey John, thanks for the request. I don’t have the HDP 50 at the moment, unfortunately. I’ll see what I can do once I get one. Thanks again and I hope you’ll keep enjoying my videos!
Dude! I'm so sorry about the landlord thing! That has happened to me a few times & you don't get used to it. But since you are a good person it will most likely turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Thanks for the video! LOved the unboxing! That beach looked just awe-inspiring!! Do keep us posted about stuff. My ex GF just went through it w/ 2 dogs & a cat when the housing is through the roof plus 3x rent income required everywhere in ca. but because she reached out on soc. med. one of her clients now rents her a very nice condo just in time, w/out all the ca bs. So hang in there buddy!! good things can come out of stuff ;-]
Hey Damon, than you so much! You’re so supportive as always 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m feeling positive, we have two months to find something - I’m sure something nice will come up! I actually wouldn’t mind a nice garage. That way I’m not dependent on the extreme Florida elements and it would definitely improve my video production… let’s see! Thanks again my dear friend
I think this video will give you some answers… let me know :) BEST AMMO for the HDB 68 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7RdA2BG1fzs.html
If you ever want to now if your gun is 7 joules or less, look for a letter "F" stamped in a pentagon shape stamped on your gun, This has to do with E,U. laws where they are limited to lower FPS, and lower joules. I noticed your gun had the "F" stamp on it, and I knew right away it was the 7 joules version.
Hi Earl, you’re right - this is generally the case. However in the US you can easily find factory bodies 7,5j bodies (with the F) but with bigger valves installed in them. Directly from the store. Not sold as modifications, but as factory releases. For example the HDR 68 (16 joules) here in the US has an F on it. So the “F” rule is not necessarily universal
hahahaha.. nice.. nice.. The American lost his mind when he saw the "big" of the Italian.. well....we mediterraneans maybe live in small houses and ride in small cars, but sometimes we have some "big stuff" too.....heheheheee...😜😜..
Spot on man! I just yesterday sent an email to Umarex who answered that they’re not out in the US yet, but my name is on their list 🤞🏽🤞🏽 It’ll be orange and black though…
@@AirgunAlley orange and black for obvious reasons... But say someone had the black model and than took apart the orange and black model replacing all the internals for the orange and black model... Could work 😉 For cool to hear that you're getting one though
It really depends on the distance. Skinwise, a pointy projectile would most definitely, while a round one will give a hell of a bruise . 40j is a lot of power
Er - your "Steel" Balls are very self-evidently Aluminium. A 0.68" sphere weighing in at 7.3g has a density of about 2.7 g/cm3 - which is exactly the density of Aluminium! ?- CM is 0.68 * 2.54, R is CM / 2, V is 4/3 * pi(R^3), D is 7.3 / V . CM = 1.7272 R = 0.8636 V = 2.697904113411096 D = 2.705804095746843
Hey Jim, that’s a great question! It’s funny how every social media has its own systems. RU-vid is one of the only ones that completely disregards the “likes” - especially in the long format, horizontal videos (not the “shorts”). Meaning that they base remuneration and generally the “success” of a video on the number of views and not likes. Even the subs count less and less nowadays. So I noticed that in my case, like in many cases, likes are around 5% of the total views… but the most important thing is that RU-vid’s payment is based on the views and not likes, like other brands. Hope this answers a bit and thanks for asking!
Hey so sorry for the late reply. I think the HDX is a bit more solid than the HDB. Plastic vs metal. That said. The pump action is a lot of work. You have to pump it before each shot. If you live in a country where you can buy the 40 joules version, then I would go with the HDX 68. Modifying the HDB however is easier than modifying the HDX. They are both very fun! So, it’s hard to say which is better :) I hope my input is somewhat helpful!
Hello my friend, great question and sorry for being ignorant on the matter. I think for the HDX it’s a much more complicated procedure and I’m not entirely sure it’s possible. Try shooting this question to Rune Rebel on his channel. He’s the maestro at this stuff :)
