Umarex to make a 68 caliber, 5-shot revolver- HDR-68

[Cyberpyr8]

I understand these are for home defense but why not a velocity adjuster? You could crank it up for home defense and set it properly for paintball. It would work great in both markets. I like their products but the lack of adjustments is a deal breaker for me. I had the TR-50 and it felt great and did work. But not being able to adjust it and using 12g was too much of a hassle. I know that there's air adapters now (that Umarex said will work on this .68 version as well) but the only way it was field legal initially was by shooting 10 shots out before you went on the field. I feel like they get so close but don't really understand the home defense or paintball industries. For home defense I want something that's really going to hit hard for defense and for paintball I need to adjust it. They could do it all in one product if they would just finish it out properly. They have to hear the complaints but never really address them. /rant

Said "idiot" came up with an awesome mod!
I sold my TR50 before it was ready ... I've been debating picking another one up just to use your awesome mod ...

I'm with trbo. I know it's an engineering challenge to jam .68 caliber into a revolver package, but if it doesn't check off a short-list of basic requirements then what's the point, at least to us in the game of paintball.

Ah well, no doubt the MCB Engineering Department will get a few running

Probably some idiot who overestimated demand, and is now sitting on a bunch of these. Probably also doesn't help that said idiot hasn't really done anything to get to word out, and is too lazy to get the website he registered set up properly. At least everyone who has bought one so far has been satisfied, so said idiot isn't a complete failure.

The 12g are a pain... So I made a speed wheel for them (3D printed) ... Now it's supper easy to swap 12g on the field.

Also, let's remember that the umarex line is for the self defense market, and not really intended for paintball use ...

[Trbo323]

I don't understand the pistol market these days, it seems pretty basic to me, I must be overthinking it or something

1) velocity adjustable and able to shoot 280fps
2) easy to change 12g


That's all you need! Why is it so difficult!?!?

Hell yeah!!!
take my 💸💸💸

Edit:
Looks like there is going to be a 7.5joules and a 16joules!?!??
The 16 might be nice ... The adjuster from the HDR50 might even fit in it? Or the remote adapter with a variable reg ...
(Sorry for the lack of credit, I don't remember who did this ...)
Also there is a holster available.

Looks like they're offering a 15J version as well, which is like 330fps.

We really should start a petition or something for them to either put a darn velocity adjuster on the thing, or at least make an 11J version (about 280fps with that one).

maybe that mag fed friendly paint would be a good choice here? Or first strikes !

Finally.

Only took the sport 40 years.

Neat! Wonder if it will - A) Break paint like crazy and B) Have velocity adjustment (stock or aftermarket)

Knowing Umarex both are likely.
