Lets test the AFFORDABLE Lancer Scorpion .50 PepperBall Launcher! How good can it be?! 

The balls dropping out when you pull the trigger is just the nature of the design of these guns. I actually think that’s great because it reinforces good REAL gun behavior. No reason to be pulling a trigger on a loaded gun unless you mean it, period. The long trigger pull is also nice for folks who aren’t experienced gun people and just want some decent self defense.

Due to this video, I bought the lancer scorpion. At 12 ft distance it put a good dent in sheet metal using the nylon balls. Haven't tried the rubber rounds. The pepper rounds are very potent. I got the full kit for $139. Amazon warranty sucks. But warranty is thru lancer for one year. I carry this. Police know it and love it. Actually had one cop asked to check it out and is interested in getting for his family. They carry Burna. But he wants something he can afford for his family

The stock Umarex HDP50, before doing your valve block mod, is in the mid 300fps range; whereas, this Lancer Tactical Scorpion is only launching in the mid 200fps in stock form. Also, I have read quite a few complaints online regarding the Scorpion's safety coming apart and the launcher not holding air. I very much appreciate seeing this test of the Lancer Tactical Scorpion, but I'm sticking with the Umarex HDP50; good quality, value, and performance. Thanks, Jon! Awesome as always!

Awesome video, I will have to check it out. Thank you.

Good to see you back

Good review. Right now I'm waiting for the Grimburg Gavle to be released, but for a budget marker there's nothing wrong with something like this one.

Thanks for another informative video

Great video as usual. Very honest review

Just picked up the Euro version the Concorde defender .50 and I love the construction and position of the magazine and c02. That's how all .50cals should operate in my opinion. The weight is great, The trigger pull is good, the size is convenient and I have big hands. Ambidextrous safety. I'd love if they release one with a steel barrel. I'd also love if they released various versions. A 1911 version would be fantastic. Could probably print a pica-tiny under-mount for a laser. Velocity can be adjusted via a screw just behind the hammer. It may or may not be as strong as the Umarex .50cals but it is definitely not a cheap build quality. It's bumped up in price since the time of this video but I can understand due to it's build and use of External magazines which are also quality. There's what looks like an alan screw under and a phillip's screw on the rear sights which release it from the top slide to gain access to the internals.

good review as always

Great looking gun

Love your reviews

Good video Jon

Also, I enjoyed your video very much. I have ordered the pistol from your Amazon link.

You can release pressure on the hdp by pressing the indicator that pops out when you hit the. Bottom

Something to think about getting in the future

Great choice to showcase this plus its a megfed non blowback I heard the velocity Adjustment is behind the hammer Its a Raysun 92 and hs had various distributors in Europe with quite a few revisions.

I am a subscriber to your channel because I trust that you know what you're doing when handling and Upgrading these non lethal air pistols. I too am a believer in non lethal weapons. I don't want to take someones life over them trying to hold me up for a few dollars,, but I do wish to defend myself... I would like to know, based on your vast knowledge of these air pistols,, If,, there is an Upgrade that can be done to the Scorpion to increase its velocity and power to make it a Wee Bit stronger... Kind of like you have done with a few other air pistols on your channel

With Access to the internals you could replace the spring, barrel and Detent as you wish.

The HDP50 has a "loaded" indicator which pops up when the CO2 is activated. If you press on this, it will release the pressure left in the gun.

Having to puncture it can be dangerous is a high pressure situation, I think I should go with Byrna

the hdr 50 ,has a air release just push the indicator in the same one that tells you the gun is charged. I believe the hdp50 is the same .

Great video. Really interested in this gun. However... Amazon cannot ship it to my California address. Not only this one, but many of the others you have tested. That just blows. But... you have the best reviews on RU-vid. Thanks.

Have you tried to make a 3-D printed bottom piece because in the night or from a slight distance away this could look like a firearm to a potential robber with a added part on the valve

I wish Milsig would find a western distributor for their P10 magfed pistol currently you can only get it in Taiwan but they have released a nerf version called the Hydron bassically a slimmer version of the FSC

Hey Jon! Love your videos, I’ve actually bought a few pepperball launchers from watching your reviews, including a lancer scorpion. I was curious if you’ve modified it yet? Im wondering if you can make it perform similar to an hdp50. Thanks!

Also known as the Concorde defender in France and the solidcore .50

How hard is scully? What material is scully made of? Please give us some details on scully, and can scully be compared to the hardness of a real scull? I entou your videos, and always look forward to them. Be blessed!!!!!

I'm sorry, I think these pistols are a great idea, but until they crank up the velocity a bit, I dont think I'll buy one. And I realize that these pistols arent intended to leave penetration wounds, but if you have an assailant coming at you with anything more than a light jacket, these rounds arent gonna do anything to him except make him more angry. They should make these pistols much more powerful. And I mean to the point where each shot can literally put him down. 200-300 FPS is not powerful enough. ESPECIALLY if they are advertising this for "family safety". They have the means, so make these pistols more powerful! Otherwise, I think you do a great job. Thanks for your work!

Negligent discharges have never been more cute with less leathal weapons

Great information, sorry I can't afford a gun let alone a super chat, sorry Ray. Thanks though

I got one and the co2 striker leaks. I returned it and bought the Umarex.

Hi. Are you going to test the Firestorm JPX 2 and/or JPX 4 Pepper Launcher?

The first time I tried when I hit the bottom to activate the co2 it leaked out but will try again maybe not enuff pressure when I hit it

Very new to this type of gun Will it shoot? Standard paintballs without making a mess in the gun.

what about mods for better velocity? I like the gun as it's a perfect size for carry

Im curious about the loading mechanism. So, it just fell out with the slight trigger pull and shake? When the rounds are in the mag, does it have enough tension to hold in place without them all popping out? Thats a problem and dealbreaker if not. Only reason id opt for this over the HD50 is mag load.

Hey John, I was wondering if you can mod this like the hpd 50

Good morning where can i get the complete co2 piercer for this gun

when your doing a LTL Alfa 1.50 ? or the Bravo

I have just ordered the Byrna HD 8 gram Do you recommend the pepperball tcp ?

you need a John Wick shoulder holster that holds 4 guns and spare mags down the spine then you can have all your favorites with yo all the time lol

Fluke? Why would someone play with full action until charged and ready. I would think it is not that bad that the action releases the round (or frees the round). Conversely, other pistols don't release the round until full action and substantial pressure behind the round because the round is held until released by full pressure? I may be mistaken... MarkMannM2

What pepper ball pistol do you recommend for self defense? I’m worried the balls falling out could slow down a reaction and cause hesitation and give a predator a moment to attack

I just read the @solreavir note below. Can the velocity / power on the Lancer Scorpion .50 be adjusted?

Just check on the byrna tcr =tippmann tcr Byrna rifle =tippmann tmc elite

So far the fire pepper dog has the highest fps even with the joules upgrade to the hdr 68 and 50 theyre wtill weaker looks like I'm choosing between fire dog or ltl bravo

I didn't like the clip because the ammo wouldn't stay in it, and it dropped out when using it.

Can the valve block be removed from this gun, like the HDP .50?

Would you prefer this or the hornet for concealed carry?

can you get a different base plate for the magazine so its level with the pierce valve?

Can these take first strike

How is consumer service with airsoft gi?

So did you ever try the cap from the Scorpion on the HDP/HDR?

Black out of stock on 1/18/23

What is the best

Idk which umarex you're meaning but mine all hold 6 not 8 but needless to say im intrigued

Wow let’s mod them bro and compare !!!

This will be good for people with disabilities

im lookin for a scorpion ???

Is there any mods for this one?

I appreciate your reviews but recent Amazon buyer comments do not look good.

With the balls 1,06 grams how many fps can shoot??

its a weapon ,,,,if you pull the trigger it can fire,,, you were not familiar with the mechanicles and thinking it was safe because you hadn't put in co2

Can u put a link where to buy ?

Now thats strange...its the exact same gun than the concorde defender 50cal self defense gun marketed in France. Huge deception, extremely underpowered (max 7.5j) and mediocre quality. especially when there's HDRs 50 68 and HDP50 but it comes in a nice suitcase with co2 canisters and 50cal balls cutouts. its rather strange to see that the brand "concorde defender", thats responsible for very popular self defense guns is buying unbranded products from a 3rd part manufacturer and just slaps their brand on it and add a nice suitcase with a plaque on it and call it a day.

You gun reviews and you computer 💻 stuff in the background 😩
