Testing the Pepperball TCP with the Milsig heat-core o-ring (Grimburg version) tuned up for high power. In this video I'm using 8g Grimburg JULv2 projectiles and the Grimburg 5" bore-matched barrel to do some chronograph readings and destruction testing on a metal sheet. This combination results in up to 36 Joules in this test using 12g CO2 in a T8.1/9.1 magazine and all 8 shots are above 20 Joules. This video doesn't go into how many turns on the velocity setting because I use a chronograph and know from experience how to optimize the power setting to get the best compromise across the full magazine. With that said, it's getting close to a max setting. Other upgrades have also been made to improve reliability and power across all 8 shots. These topics will be the subject of later in-depth break down videos. Not everyone will want to push the marker to this level and I will try to guide you in your decision-making process.
The two most important aspects of using air pistols as less lethal weapons are power and reliability. These go hand-in-hand and one is not more important than the other. Here, I discuss my experience with the TCP over the past 1.5 years testing it at gradually increasing power settings. It has been a work horse with a lot of shots put through it during this time frame. Having durability over time is of critical importance and I give my thoughts on the TCP in this regard. This is only the beginning of a longer conversation so please comment on any questions you have that I can address in the future.
I am an end user and consumer like you. I don't upgrade or sell these launchers for profit. I will not do that in the future either. There are other RU-vid channels that specialize in that sole purpose and you should see those if you are a potential consumer. The overriding goal of the Less Lethal section of this channel is to provide as much information as I can that is free of conflicts of interest. You can then decide what is best for you and your self defense needs (and budget). I have a different point of view and opinions from many other Less Lethal channels. Stay tuned and subscribe for my input as I get more detailed in my discussions and work to sort out the hype from reality in the growing less lethal field.
Disclaimer: These are fun but they are not toys. Treat them as you would a firearm and follow basic rules for gun safety.
