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

[COB]

The TR50 and HDR68 have a spring-loaded cone that fills the gap and keeps the cylinder from sliding backward

Yeah, thats likely where it was, in the transition to the barrel.

That being said. Ill likely shoot rounds. What would be q viable solution for future models? Have spring loaded sleeves in the cylinder itself? Then have a pusher but the cylinder sleeve up against the barrel as you pull the trigger? Or you could even have the valve port slide forward pushing the ball into the barrel then fire.

Either way. For 115. This thing is cool!

Thats the place the paint breaks in the Roscoe Revolver.

In my experience with paintball revolvers the most likely place and cause for a ball to break is in the jump it has to make from the cylinder into the barrel.

[BrickHaus]

What do you mean by that? Ill do my best to answer. It was the 4th of 5th shot. I was able to shoot through the 5th, but there was paint in the cylinder so I assume it broke when leaving the cylinder. Most of the paint was in the barrel after the fact. And a little was on the floating ring the barrel was in.

[The Inflicted]

I got mine. Put some known brittle ass paint in it and it shot 4 out of 5 and blew one up.

I don't suppose you could tell where the break happened, could you? The cylinder gap is usually the tricky part with these things.

Spring barrel is necessary for the revolving cylinder. The spring keeps the barrel nose cone tight to the cylinder and moves in when changing cylinders. Without this nose cone pressing on the front face of the cylinder, the gun will fire the first 1 or 2 shots, but the weight of the balls will keep sliding the cylinder backwards during the firing cycle. I know this because someone filed the cone flat on one of the TR50's that I have for velocity reduction. After the second shot, the paw pushes the cylinder up/ rotates cylinder into position. As the hammer is starting back the paw releases. The cylinder rotates backward, and you fire the empty #2 hole. Also, Xemons' co2 knobs are awesome. I have them on all my umarex guns.

Sounds like it's the exact same design as the tr50, but scaled up ... Maybe some of the high power mod for the tr50 could be adapted ...

I have a few of them for my 50 cal ones and they work well. Just got mine today (I really hate FedEx) but they seem to be hard on paint. This will have to be a FS only marker for me 100% especially if you want work it for more velocity. The spring barrel is an interesting concept. I wonder if it can be improved.

[XEMON]

It is, thanks!

I made a 3D printed wheel for them and people tested it on just about every umarex so far ... I'll test it on the HDR this weekend

[BrickHaus]

Ill admit. Getting that plug out sucks. I may cut a T handle down and epoxy it in there or something.

[BrickHaus]

Mines still charged, but Ill take a picture of the plug in a second.

[XEMON]

Thanks 😁
I'm not gonna put my hand on mine till this weekend, can't wait ...

[BrickHaus]

Its honestly my first umerex so im not sure.

[XEMON]

Awesome 👍
KT mentioned the 3 wheel, same CO2 plug as the rest of the umarex family?
