NxWerks Pistelle X-68 - Another self defence pistol we probably can't use.

[The Great Equalizer]

Just stumbled across an NxWerks Pistelle X-68 on ebay, so I went to their site.

Looks like another .68 "self defense" pistol that probably can't be used for paintball. No mention of adjusting velocity in the manual. I've emailed them and we'll see if they have an answer.

Update: From their customer service rep Sam, "The velocities are not adjustable on the X68s. We are working on a variant model to make them adjustable but that’s going to take a while. "

I'd like to remind you that in most European countries it is illegal for law abiding citizens with spotless records to own any kind of fire arm for personal defense. Rampant crime, violent gangs and home invasions at broad daylight is on the rise though, and quite rightly the average man is getting worried.

Mind you, it won't be long until these gadgets become illegal as well. Our esteemed governments really don't want any law abiding citizens to be armed with anything worse than harsh language. Actually scratch that, over the last years more people have been jailed in Britain than in Russia for what they have said or posted. We're probably down to passive-aggressive Post-Its as a last resort over here.

Not with the CO2 in the grip like that.
Good though that it uses 12grams and not those weird 8gram cartridges the First Strike pistols used. Loading it downwards presumably means it works by siphoning up liquid CO2, like the Umarex guns.

If I was to use something like this if someone broke into my house I'd just air up an electro slap on a pod pack and just dump paint through the house and hope I don't get shot 😂

Lol true use pepper balls and it would probably actually work for self defense. Cant hurt anyone (or breath) with a pound of pepper spray in the air

Those magazines look like they would be pretty cool for custom work, except they're like $45 lol

I got a felony for growing cannabis 35 years ago so I can't own a firearm. I have 3 pepper ball launchers a Sabre, Umarex ,and I recently got the Pistelle x 68. I can shoot aluminum balls straight through a can of veggies and it lodges into the plywood set up behind it so a shot to some assholes dome would do major damage imo. I have had friends shoot me with the Sabre and Umarex (wearing many layers) and it stung but I won't even try it with the Pistelle. I just wish it wasn't so big. I look like Dirty Harry walking my dogs with that thing on my hip😂
As someone who has their right to protect his home and family taken away for growing plants (that are legal now btw) in the early 90's I think these launchers are my best option, esp the Pistelle. I load my magazine with alternating pepper balls & aluminum and if 6 of those don't stop a crackhead then I guess I'm screwed

Hey this is old - but how do you like that Pistelle x 68 so far? How difficult is the disassembly / reassembly, maintenance etcetera? I've been looking at them, trying to talk myself out of buying one. They are around $650 with the higher joule setup from my research
