For those that are saying the tr50 less lethal revolver is not a good less lethal defensive weapon , I highly disagree with you. I carry the tr50 on me every single day as a personal defensive weapon. And I have it loaded with devastator rounds. I carry 3 full magazines loaded with this ammo. I recently had to use it against a guy that was charging at me with a knife in his hand. I shot him in the chest with 3 devastator rounds in quick succesion and he dropped the knife and ran away while actually crying. Oh and I have the 11 joule version that shoots between 450 and 470 fps.....

Wow... amazing how you've developed your channel with the camera angles, dramatic music, slow motion views, labeling of objects and you even seem to sweat less lol. I remember when you first started this channel and you've come a long way. Your videos are very entertaining and I want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this channel. Congratulations on your 25k subscribers 👏 🙌 Much ❤ and respect 🙏 Again thank you: Yankeerex

Been watching you for some time now, Just subscribed. Owning and testing the Tr 50 for awhile now with different ammo, I can truly say the stock 11J version I have will hurt and/or potentially take your life is enough, to make me, as a Felon feel more armed if needed depending on the situation. Thank you for making the effort to create videos like this , It has helped me realize how well these launchers can be beneficial in alot of ways besides just Fun.......

Man that was awesome! Such an informative video! Thanks for the shout out Gian! Btw with hdr type, its always a good idea to dry fire first before pressing the blow off button.. this can prevent breaking. Thanks again my friend 🤌🤌👌👊

Another great video! The comparison between the TRs was perfect, you showed the pros and cons of each gun very clearly. I get what you say about the lack of accuracy; the Mercury seemed better off in that aspect, although the Umarex was a little bit more potent. Loved the SpaghettOs bashing!😂 The intros are always a lot of fun! Great job, Gian!

Another Fantastic Video, great details and testing! I learned a lot! Thank You So Much!

I love my Umarex HDR 50, it's a really solid piece. 👍 good videos also, keep up the good work with the channel 🙂

Good video. Very informative and well presented.

Great video as always :-) great comparison! I think after watching this that instead of getting a torpedo gun, I might just get some new barrels for my guns! Thank you for your great work and good videos!

Well done again my friend. No doubt, you put a lot of time and energy into this. As of now, I just have the Umarex T4E 11joule version, and after watching your comparison's, Ill probably just stick with that because they are so close in most areas. This Mercury Rising company is putting out some really good stuff, so I think theyll be around for awhile. Im looking forward to what they do next. I say all the time, its a great time to be an airgunner because the products are just so good and theres so much to choose from. Glad your ok buddy and thanks again for your work...its appreciated.

Great video! Love how well the channel is doing!

Thanks for a review ❤

I find it hilarious that people think these markers won't have an impact 🤣. I've been destroying my ballistic dummy bust with all sorts of markers and airguns and munitions. Very cool video my friend...keep em coming. They are both good markers with great potential 👍👍

Really great review man!

When you talked about Umarex contracting parts for their HDR 50 to this company, it made me think of something else with Umarex. A bit over 2 years ago, they announced the Umarex Primal at ShotShow. It's a 20 gauge air shotgun they market primarily to shoot their proprietary slugs, although they claim it can shoot nearly anything. Well, they made their proprietary slugs available for order, at a whopping $46 for 10. Nearly $5 per shot. I wouldn't have been surprised if all the preorders were cancelled and they ended up cancelling the Primal. But it's still scheduled for release later this month. Well, how this relates. Their proprietary slugs are hardly proprietary. The slugs are actually produced by a US company. They market that slug design for reloading in a number of gauges for shotguns. If you buy from them directly, the slugs come in a box of 25 for $18.

Another great video! I'd say that the HDR 50 won that one! Also, on gas release I'm sure you know that once the power drops too much to shoot you can pull the trigger a few more times which makes pushing the red button in quite easy. I think that the torpedo revolver loses power because the mag is too long, the round has to travel the length of the mag before entering the barrel so uses more gas to shoot the round thus reducing the launch pressure.

That was really interesting to watch you. I have subscribed 😊

Alright mate 👍 gotta be honest was expecting it to be alot closer between them two guns. Gotta give it to the HDR out preformed the mercury in every test . As always keep up the good work 👍

You do the best reviews thank you

AWESOME SHOW MY BROTHER !!! I REALLY ENJOYED IT !!!

Great video and testing. Thanks for the shout-out🙏. Cheers from your friend in Norway 😃👍

I have both TRs as well. My accuracy tests at 20 feet have been decent, but not pinpoint. Good enough for shot placement on a human torso,.

Excellent comparative video between these two very similar revolvers even if the HDR50 is a little more powerful.

i am glad you approve and agree with me about that mercury rise. i do wonder if the 20 joules valve from the umarex will fit into the mercury rise, probably. enjoy

Good job ! Enjoy your videos.

Yup, sticking with my HDR 50.

Very informative

Excelente teste 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video

Bought a HDR 50 times ago, had to tweak it a bit, luminescent paint on the sights to make them usable, new barrel for accuracy and slight power enhancement, restriction valve changed to get close to 18-19 joules, and "devastator" as ammunition of choice. It is now "OK" for non lethal defense up to 10 meters, with two full power 6 rounds barrels for 1 CO² cartridge, I store it with a mix of 3 "devastators" and 3 pepper balls in each barrel.

Better videos every time, congrats! I think Umarex HAS to improove a lot several aspects but, at the end, the results are clear: concerning the power of destruction... Umarex wins. Salutacions des de Catalunya

Knife/gunfight lol. Your buddy that sent me here. A guy with braids and a cool little baby in his vid. Well. He shot a dude right in his tatoo in the leg with a 50 and devastator round. The metal went right in his leg. Bled instantly. Wild how in sunk right in. Not a gun but undoubtedly usefull to serve its purpose plus. Ive watched like ten of your vids so far. I forgot guys name but "thanks for the recommendation to this channel bud "

THANKS FOR THE HUMOR MY MAN !!!!!

As always great video brother you know I am a HDR guy. The Mercury Rise looks cool and have great features but lack some power.

I need to see both theseguns shoot the wood and cocunuts with the Zrams if thats possible??? Also i recently startd watching this channel... instantly suscribed and is probably my favorit airgun channel ,thsnx :)

Awesome video man thanks for the shout :)

Dude...its always a plesure to watch ur videos. Good idea to fix the plates that way. And gratulation to over 25 k subs Mate. Ure on a great way. I cant wait to see u shooting guns like the Huben rifle and Pistol and other great stuff. Thx 4 ur work. Btw...would the pepperballs even explode on soft surface like a thick jacket? Greetings

Great review, think you were a bit biased on the Yank version, didn't see much difference on the accuracy stakes but all in all a great video !👍

With my umarex tr50 with the black rubber balls I hit my mail box from my front porch 5 out of six times about 40 yards pretty good for me

I love my first hdx 68 rifle. Wow the power! I was surprised about how loud the rifle was. Yes, unhealthy food can be a great option as targets

Please consider reviewing the Mercury Rise MUB 50, my favorite LL weapon right now (though I still usually carry the Byrna LE because of the trigger pierce.

Caleb- Airgun Ballistics (modifications)

Awesome ! 😊

Hi thank you for this conclusive test I prefer umarex and did you try to pierce the valve on an hdp? The results are bluffing 😉

Those Z-Rams look like fun 🙂

I have a 25 Joule Umarex and I love 💗

Awesome review and tests! Looks like the HDR50 is more powerful than the torpedo on your review. I just saw another review where the oppostie occured, the torpedo had a higher FPS than the HDR50.

I purchased my T4E-50 three years ago, & am extremely pleased w/ its performance. I don't have it to be a killing weapon. I use mine as a blinding weapon of Gun-Jitsu. Much as I have boxer-pittie rescue dogs that guard my home. I'm not that "I have a firearm" home-defense guy. I do own firearms, but they're not my primary self-defense against would-be criminals. At 10-15' (or less), the T4E is plenty accurate enough to hit the bridge of the nose. Blinding/disorienting the target at least 5 seconds... at which point my dogs have a little somethin' they wanna say about it.

idk ill use it as a self defense but tha is probably cuz im comfortable with a back up gun i love ones tha fire multiple calibers

It would be great to have something like that, without the grips, that could be mounted under the magazine tube of a shotgun. It would be ideal for dealing with an intruder who doesn't pose a threat to your life, but you don't want to just run away. But you'd have the option of employing lethal force, if warranted.

I own both , and I do prefer the mercury. nice comparison.

I recently bought an upgraded HDR 50. I like that the Mercury Rising CO2 bump doesn't require the allen key to tighten/loosen. Would that valve would fit onto the Umarex gun?

Since you don't want to modify, will you diesel your pellets/slugs? Or do you count that as a modification?

If you had used let’s sat, a Laser sight and was able to hit the can straight on you would have had very similar results. The first shot hit hard, but the remaining shots clearly (from what we could see in the video) were glancing shot.

For this one, I've been waiting.

I agree with you. My tuned HDR-50 is not a precision gun. I have the barrel and Cylinder and tuning kit from Home Defense 24 in Germany. I have test my Gun with both Laser and Dot Sight. The down side of tuning are that the Gun use a lot of Gas 15-20 shots, and I have to change the Co2 patron. The upsides are better precision and very hard hits. I mold my own Slugs to save some money. Out of the box the HDR-50 is not a high quality Gun as my other Umarex Guns. My personal favorite gun is the Walter CP-88 it is high Quality and high price, but the Walter will last for a long time with metal parts an no Plastic parts. Thanks for your Interesting Channel for us Air Guns shooters. I am Norwegian, like Rune Rebel. 😏

I think you should have used the pointed ones for th coconut as well.

Keep uploading the Videos are on it 🔫🔫🔫💥💥💥

I just upgraded my tr50 7.5 to the 11 joule.am I supposed to then take out the valve block out of my upgraded 11 joule to get even more power?? I appreciate any knowledge. Thanks

I own an HDR50 which I converted to HPA, longer barel and so on in order to make it a bit more powerfull.... Is this flexibility also possible on the Mercury Rise ?

Do they make a pellet pistol with the pellet part of the gas. Like powder is to a bullet.

Tanks for your test umarex win the battle it is more strong 💪

I want to know the bb calibre. It's only a .50 cal because of what amounts to a thick plastic sabot. Is the bb a .25?

I've added a red dot sight to mine so sighting is more consistent, maybe you could try one and make a video showing the accuracy with a red dot sight?

To be fair, a gun is better but these have their own advantages as well. Lighter, way less recoil, indoors wont deafen you, easier to obtain and use.

slap a small red dot on that and that thing is epic

Hey i'm french and i like your accent Je depli mblue :)

Merci pour les quelques mots en français que tu mets dans tes vidéos 👍👍👍

synthetic grease blob on end of co2 before install works better, less messy

I take that back on the torpedo about it being pathetic in power it is a little weaker than 11j umarex, but its like10 j on lightest while umarex is like 12+ which both are better that 7.5 j which wont even put crack in coconut.

Why can't they make a 24 gram co 2 . Cartridge. ?? Or install co2 rechargeable tube in the pistol grip?? Just saying. Though I like the Mercury..

I like airguns, but i'd rather take a crossbow or bow for home defense

By the way, your dummy with the foam head attached, it has so much neck, it looks kinda like you're shooting a Kaminoan from Star Wars. Interesting thing to use as a target while comparing the HDR-50 to a clone...

In every other test I have seen the Mercury Rise is more powerful. Because it has no restrictor valve. They are usually 12 to 14 jewels out of the box

HDR 😎👍

I agree that it could work in a home defense situation. At close range it would penetrate skin and muscle, and as long as your house is small and you're close, then you've got them. I just wouldn't use it for general self defense while out of the house. However, the Mercury Rise does look like a cool gun and I definitely want one.

maravilha der pistola muito forter gostei do tester ja deixei oliker

Question... wouldn't it suffice for close encounters? Someone on your porch is still on the outside of your home..

On the z, Rams, how many is in a package

Can I please get an explanation for why I am not civilized for carrying/owning firearms?? Just curious, maybe we can discuss this further 🤔

How much is the gun I want to buy one

great

bahahaha that intro....awesome

Your the best dude

rune rebel and the t4e channel cannot be found, bad link, but calebs works fine.

Would you review a Grimburg Gavel?¿?¿?

No komen memang tepat sesaran nya

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!

Hey guys, forgive my ignorance, but how would one connect a red dot sight onto the rails on each, and would a longer barrel with shroud help?

The only 50 cal I carry is the S&W 500 magnum 4inch barrel.

What is the most accurate T4E that youve found?

Hi! Air power is No Joke i have 2 miltitary grade .22.i would NOT want to get hit with one! Why not check ouT GIRODANI.

Looks like Umarex gets the Thumbs Up for this video, but the Torpedo Rounds still have different Payload Options.

Can I buy n store or where can I get

What size backpack do you need to carry one of these?

@2:21 That has changed

I carry outside my home as well as at home. In a self defense or defense of others "outside my home" I'm sure that the legal ramifications of using a firearm would probably be greater than if I am using a (so called) less lethal weapon. I live in TN a constitutional carry state (no permit required) and I did carry my .45 for a while and also my .22LR but now I carry a less lethal loaded with heavy rounds or custom type rounds. I have a USCCA membership but believe a I am safer from our own law enforcement system with the less lethal. By the way I am an excellent shot and practiced. I would always advise sufficient practice.

People do crazy things when they get hungry believe me I know
