Thank you for the video. You saved me the cost of buying the 12mm balls. The tuning barrel works great with riot balls. I found "1/2" Inch Delrin Plastic Ball Bearings" on Ebay & they work very well in a standard HDP50 (without tuning barrel). I tried them in in the HDR/TR50 but they are very tight in the rotary magazine. I did not fire them from the HDR/TR50. However, they are excellent in the standard HDP50 with the valve block removed (without tuning barrel) .
Whats the weight on the delrin balls you found? I have been looking at other materials ceramic being one of them but they just arent as cheap to possibly be tossing after using once for a video 😂
Yes to the bloopers. I gotta see that. PS - If you 'liked' the HDR, you wouldn't encounter any of these issues, plus you could use a variety of shaped projectiles and also make your own slugs using the 12mm BB's. The 50 cal is pretty cool, but the 68 is a beast!
I enjoy the quirkiness of the Hdp loading system. Gives me reason to keep testing so others dont have too. Not sure i will add an hdr68 just because of all the other 68cals i got but maybe an hdr50 since i do have a valve for that one now.
@@lesslethalfordummies Oh okay. So, it's more of a quirky project for you, rather than actually being used for CCLLSD? (only LL enthusiasts will appreciate and understand that acronym lol)
@@The_Viking_Highlander until i find the optimal projectiles and power the hdp isnt my first choice. They are not released into the wild until i am satisfied.
Good test my friend. Interesting video as always. I guess the 12,5mm will work better maybe 🤔. Keep up the good work. Greetings from your friend in Norway 😃👍
I havent tested the extension yet in my Hdps current configuration. I would expect both accuracy and power if running the extension. Although accuracy may not be as measurable in the distance we use these.
Hi Sean, did you ever get a chance to try out the 12.5mm steel balls you were expecting? I could not find the video. If so, did they perform as you expected in that tuning barrel? Happy new year!
Happy New Year’s to you too. I did test the 12.5mm in the tuning barrel and unfortunately didnt video it. They actually didnt perform as well as the 12.7mm. They did however cycle fine without jams. I have since polished my tuning barrel to better accept the 12.7mm balls. If i get a chance i can fire some 12.5mm through tomorrow. I have been working on something crazy for my Hdp50 compact. Hopefully i will be testing its bare chassis tomorrow.
@@birdbangbobarunii am more referring to an 11j Hdr where it has both a co2 restrictor and a valve block. The 7.5j Hdp only has a valve block but many still refer to it as a double delete.
Metal detents for Pepperball barrels? Lapco or Ansgear has them. John Wixon also sells printed ones now which work awesome and i use because the metal ones just never did well with Riot Balls.
