The BEST Ammunition for Umarex HDR .50 

GR8 video :) You pronounce my name correctly enough :) Martin is the English version of my name :) We know that the cost of delivery to various places in the world is high. If any of the viewers would like to have access to Devastators in their country, our company will be happy to cooperate with a local store. All he has to do is show this video to his local shop and they will find us. Thanks again for a nice video. We see in the video that you had a good time shooting our Devastator ammo. Greetings Marcin

I'm ex English soldier and love this bit of kit for close range protection as my neighbour is a dealer lol.

Excellent. I'm here in the U.S. and I already own a Ruger GP100 .357 magnum revolver, but I've always wanted a higher caliber pneumatic air or CO2 pistol and rifle that had enough FPS to do some good 'damage'. I know Hatsan and several others make some excellent non-powder firearms. Video uploads like this just give me the 'itch' to take the plunge. lol Thanks, brother. Happy shooting.

Dude,.. my 11 joule mod one arrived from shipping way earlier than anticipated, and the projectiles I ordered for it still hadn’t even been shipped. Initially, out of shear lack of patience,.. I shot some .45 lead balls with an improvised scotch tape sabot and I was initially impressed at the performance considering how damned heavy they respectively for what it’s designed for. Incidentally, I happen to have loads of paraffin wax and one of my dad’s old .50 caliber lead bullet molds kicking around and so the wheels turned in my head, and began melting some paraffin wax in an old tea kettle and filling the mold and making one slug at a time, and then cutting the extra to length away once loaded in the cylinder mag and remedying the excess. Certainly, using my dad’s old slug mold and making one at a time is not the most efficient way imaginable to make em, but for the sake of intents and purposes and experimentation. I was expecting them to perform about as well as hot glue or whatever else,… and as I was making them,.. the neighbor teen whom shares my airgun hobby and pals around came over, so we made up a bunch of variations of the wax slugs with lead bird shot, pellets or whatever imaginable,.. and loaded up the different cylinder mags with all sorts. We took em out to my target range, and in actuality the purely paraffin wax slugs outperformed our wildest expectations. Some of the other variants performed alright, mostly, but not even close to the degree of extra time and and extra materials to merit it being worthwhile, because the pure paraffin ones still exceeded all of them in accuracy, velocity and impact. We were actually sort of dumbfounded and startled at how damned powerful they seemed. In fact,… I certainly wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of the wax slugs or even suggest they are potentially a very devastating round, even un-augmented with other components. From my initial impressions, I reckon, it is because they form a tight seal, are self lubricating, and that the nature of paraffin might have some instance of ‘dieseling’ occurring on the backend, providing additional energy to the rest of the slug. More experimentation with it is probably required to know for certain though.

Let me tell you, this thing is no joke! I used mine with some wrecking balls and it went through the target and the cushion behind it. Don't mess around unless you intend on injury.

Goes through wood, goes through skin! Nobody will be standing after 18 Devastator rounds! Good job!

Watching from America , sheds a tear for the rest of the world

I use these with an upgraded HDR50 with the German Homedefence kit. It shoots at 25 Joules, and believe me when I tell you I would NOT want to be hit by one of these. No problem tearing through the front and back of a full Campbells soup can and both sides of the cardboard box behind it. The kit isn’t too expensive, it’s around $40, and if you can find a gun Smith or someone knowledgeable to install it, I think the upgrade is well worth it, and definitely improves the HDR 50’s defense capabilities.

Thanks to Kolba for sending these, we had fun shooting them.

Nice! I have a slugmaker. One ball made with 6 little 4,5 mm/0,35 g (metal) balls + hot silicon = about 3g/ball. Auch ! Try it !

When you say "you guys in the u.s. can only get the 7.5 joule" all I thought was, we can also buy real firearms. No hate tho I'm happy you found something you enjoy.

Presumably the Umarex balls can be recovered and re-used, but the sabots on the steel balls make them a one shot deal.

Surely would feel safer with one of these than nothing at all

I never knew Nick Frost had a RU-vid channel!

Metal balls in sabots fired from compact paintball revolvers? Much has changed since I last cared about anything air.

NEXT TIME PLEASE DO MEAT WITH BONE👍🏼

Buy spare cylinders, oil the chambers. Tape off and fill with fishing split shot and hot glue. Wait. Then shoot.

I’m consider buying one of these and then painting it like one of the hand cannons from Destiny

I never knew Nick Frost was so into Air Guns and home protection.

If youre one of the few people who trust your life to an airsoft style gun then i suppose this would be the best since one can of gas can shoot like 4+ mags unlike a lot of other .50 .43 cal ones.

Would have been nice to see the damage in the wood.

Look for candy that fits the barrel. Bubble gum balls, round mints, and jawbreakers make good ammo. They are light weight so they fly fast and they explode when they hit hard things.

We Support this product as a youtube review company.

The reason your gas went faster is because it is the 11 joule version (3-4 cylinders/18-24 rounds) where as the 7.5 joule version can get closer to 40 rounds out.

Intresting airgun, i think this might be a nice to have as a summer cabin plinker. I'm lucky that we finns can have real guns, just bought 357 magnum revolver, but i dont have shooting range near my summer cabin. Ammo is bit pricy, real ammo is cheper atleast 9mm and even 45 acp. Nice vid, thank you.

1-What was the thickness of this plank at 5:48, and what it is made of? 2-Have you had another test done, focusing on shooting precision? 3-Will these projectiles, shot from HDR-50, perforate a standard wooden cutting board (from IKEA, for example)?

Thank you for this very informative video. I recently purchased the HDR.50 (11 joules) for home defense, and I was hoping to find a powerful ammunition to use for that purpose. The Devastator rounds you tested in your video were very impressive. I appreciate your informative channel. Stay well my friend.

Oh do need. New to your channel and loving this. This seems like a pretty good less lethal situation for when you need to deal some real pain. I already have the gun, had no idea these rounds existed. Simple idea. Highly effective. Great vid!

I'm sold. Getting one to keep in my work bag as an edc.

Me: Still got a little bit of gas left..... My wife: noooooooo

Wow best video on this topic so far

The link is to .50 exploding slugs 😮 🤩

Awesome review! I'm definitely making this purchase today. Thanks for telling me to call first. Great bit of help. You should do a semi auto .177 bb airgun review next. Been interested, just dont wanna waste time if they aren't up to par.

Co2 is temperature sensitive, that's probably where the difference in shot count comes from

DUDE! In the beginning I had rubber balls but this metalballs are so much of a difference

Devastator is my Nr 1. Full Modified with the extender i get the best results.

i was your 200th sub lol

I want the 50 caliber here in the US

Actually I have the ball makers for the hot glue it's actually fun to do you can do anything you could put a nail through it you can use broken glass in the hot glue you can use any size ball bearing as long as it fits in mag

Here is some comparative analysis. 280 to 350 fps Ralphie's Red Ryder, Daisy's second-best seller, was 280 to 350 fps. The "hardest hitting" of Daisy's traditional BB guns, Beeman says, was the Model 25 -- 25 million sold in 58 variations from 1914 to 1979 -- which fired in the 400 fps range.Nov 26, 2004

Cette arme est faite pour dissuader ou faire très mal en défense à 10 mètres maximum. Pour cette usage, elle remplit parfaitement son rôle.

Did that round just bounce off the board ?? Zero penetration?? How is this home defense. Someone would run right through it.

Oh yeah man a lot of kick there😂

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪 I bought one today 👍

Ok lol where do I get that badass looking ammo ??

I just bought mine tonight in California and when I shoot it it sounds like a cannon

“Don’t worry, it’s non lethal??” I would not want to gethit by one of them things that’s for sure!

Those "bae bae's" & "wubble bowls" are pretty scary. 😅. J/k bro, good video.👍

Almost 14 minutes of video and he just shoots one kind of target...

I'm so glad I live in America because that things a toy. I wish everyone had a second amendment because guns are the greatest tool known to man

That's impressive for a handheld air gun.

CrossBow Says > HELLO ? COD ...

do you have an exact diameter of these rounds? I have an after market barrel on my hdr and it is tighter than the stock barrel..

Air compression can produce so much more energy than these guns. I dont understand why "self defense" air pistols/rifles are so underpowered. This gun looks fantastic as a toy, but if the goal is to genuinely defend yourself, then it seems a bit lacking. A paintball gun with hard ammo would likely be better

I live on a small farm in America. My neighbors are very close by. I think this would be outstanding coyote/intruder repellent.

glad I found this

Knowing he has 6 rounds, why does he always fire 7 times?

I feel so sorry for countries that lost their right to bear arms.

Great video, I have bought that ammo after watching your test, also you sound like Norman Lovett

I've all ready been in it to install the 11 joule. The really hard part was getting the plastic gun apart without stripping the slots out of the screws! I may ordeer a replacement screw kit. We'll see how it goes. Bob

Same zagraniczne komenty, Polacy gdzie jesteście 😁

Hi mate I purchased this the other day it didn't come with a manual. Do you have to oil the gun up or anything?I have no idea with what maintance is required for this gun. Hope you can help

Mostly kids just use air guns in the US. The only time adults use them is when we're taking care of squirrels in city limits.

That might leave a mark

I prefer my 380. Thanks though.

Pretty sad watching you lads play with toys, how you allowed your government to take your firearms I'll never understand.

dude I took a nap waiting for the business to start

Looks awesome

This guy just said, "it's certainly got some kick, this gun" loooooooool You realize, that it has no kick at all because it's not recoiling? That's what produces "Kick" Cool CO2 gun, but definitely not a kicker. Lolol

It's surprising what the French do, Light laws on air guns, Also supplying dingys to immigrants to go to the UK. 🤔

Thank God I live in the US

4:45 if you’re impatient lol you’re welcome

Looks like the only Devastation that will be happening involving this gun will be the devastation on your wallet

I've been rolling around getting one of these. They're so cool, effective too. I'm thinking a great way to ward off pests

Great work Sir thank you

Some real good stuff mate and I need that type gear in my life 🤣

I like it

I didn't see much use for this one unless you live in California. Rather than that, I'll just the good ole .45 1911 or AR-15 🦅🦅 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great Video

I love revolvers but if the drum/barrel won't fully/traditionally revolve, then I feel impotent. Shrug

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome Video !!! If you got shot with those devastator rounds it could be deadly at close range. The TR50 11 joules version only would be a very good choice for self defense. Me personally would fill a mag with one pepper then a devastator round so 3 pepper and 3 devastators I think that would be an attackers nightmare they would be temporary blind and bleeding LOL

I LOVE! Your shirt man.

I've got the same t-shirt, but in disabled blue ;)

Them things won't hurt nobody.

Maybe try something a little more imaginative for a target that ammo looks cool but can't tell much by u shooting a piece of wood

In the States we can only get the 7.5 J. version . Don't know . We use 9mm , .357 magnum , etc . 😅

Muy buena munición muy buen video,tengo 3 vecinos algo locos que todo el tiempo me están buscando peleas y tratando de llevar al extremo o me insultan ahora ya sé con qué puedo defenderme de amenazas e insultos invasiones a mi propiedad privada muy bonito el hdr gracias Mad por mostrar está alternativa

yes it is sponsored if they send you stuff

Super!

looky here, the polish are doing big things. they should definitely should stick with air guns. awesome video thanks for the review and education on these rounds and the piece itself i had no idea we were only limited to the 7.5

I didn't find a store that ships to Brazil. If anyone knows, please let me know. It's only available in one store here, and it costs almost €3.00 per unit!

That's a great appliance for self defense!!!

The gas shooting first 3 then 4 mags msy have been temperature related. CO2 shoot best on warm days - but you probably know this. Happy shooting!

I find that the 185 grain big bore pellets "Seneca by Air Venturi" pellets are great(sort of). I had to modify my clip slightly but they work well

Love your hat! You deserve to be an American with a real magnum revolver

Cool

2 meters or less this is fucking lethal. Surprised they allow this!

U see The LAST ? RESORT , TAURUS ! S&W ! LIKES ...

Zwiększanie ciężaru pocisku spowalnia go. Zawsze jest "coś za coś." Tym bardziej, że pociski stalowo gumowe dają tę samą siłę przebijania na takim samym dystansi, a nie są drogie.
