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

[Trbo323]

What I heard it called "blinking". Just shoot on Targets around our House to practise Target Shooting.

So... Target shooting

Just use it as is then. No need to go modifying it without knowing what you do or don't like about it

Well I have no problem at all with the Marker. I just wonder if the "upgrades" give some dramatic effect and eliminate some flawas the Marker maybe have? I want to optically mofiying by printing a slimmer Hull and remove for example the unnecessary "drum" behind the Ball Holder. Also the Grip Part is a bit to big for me.
I want give them more the design of a Handgun. Theoretically I am legally can modify it since there is no "J" limitation like Germany have.

[Trbo323]

The performance mods that are out there mainly focus on changing the velocity. Everything else is basically optics or "cool" factor.

As for printing a new body, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible but I'd also bet it's much much more complicated than you imagine. For instance that area behind the cylinder (that's the "ball holder" for reference) contains the valve so while it might be possible to slim it down a bit, don't expect tons.

The grip contains the CO2 changer and puncture assembly, so same thing, maybe you can slim it down a little bit don't expect a lot

The marker isn’t even usable for anything other than riot rounds. It’s a paintball paperweight. It shreds First strikes at low velocity and they are hard as a rock. It’s one of the biggest disappointments I purchased. The way it operates I don’t see a fix coming. The wheels are open on the front and back so it needs a massive amount of pressure to get any velocity. Then it delivers this massive pressure through a small port making it perfect for punching holes in paintballs before they leave the barrel. Anything hard enough to shoot out of it will not break on target especially at the low velocity they shoot. It’s an Air hog because it’s losing all its pressure with what is basically an open breach. You can increase the pressure with mods for self defense but if it’s shreds at 170fps its not going to shoot anything other then a riot round at higher pressure.

cool concept, pore execution. It was a lie selling this as a paintball marker. It’s not even close.

That's a shame about the revolver. I think with a few easy tweaks to the hds double barrel they could make it a viable affordable stock class marker. Make it velocity adjustable, and give the 12 gram knob and bigger more ergonomic handle. Bonus points for a brass or fiberoptic bead sight, and freak compatible.

[Trbo323]

It's not really open though. The barrel articulates into the cylinder. That was my largest gripe with it. The spring they used to articulate the barrel is so strong that it really affects the trigger pull. Pull slow and it is a much stiffer trigger pull, faster and the trigger flies back. The trigger and therefore exactly when it fired seemed really unpredictable to me. Hated it.

Traded for a Roscoe, I'm not saying the Roscoe doesn't have any problems but it sure is a lot more fun

Does anyone here have Pictures from the Shell it self? (Thanks)

[Trbo323]

Just a quick Google search but here's the best 2i could find. There's lots going on in there

The Shotgun works good. Drill the restrictor pull the stock barrels slide in standard freak inserts in there place capture them in some Brass or CF tubing. I built this for Creepers Budget Build off. I’m getting double barrel shots 2 paintballs at like 280ish. I just traded for a Palmers 105* ASA adapter so I can run an HPA tank off the back and I got a NiceButt stock I’m going to put on it for the full size stocked shot gun look.

[cheapguitarscheapthrills]

Full coach gun build would be fun. I drilled my restrictor but I don't feel like putting much more effort into it. Cool build buddy

[The Inflicted]

I'm intrigued by what one of these would handle like with the Palmer's tank adapter. Having any kind of a stock would definitely cut down on fatigue when holding these things towards the target. However, I'm curious whether the switch the HPA would drop the velocity, since out of the box they're designed to run on liquid CO2.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I got an extra reg I'm going to shim up I figure about 850psi should do it. I got one set for my Phantom already so I’m going to try that first see how she shoots. I haven’t really
found anything I can’t get to shoot on HPA it’s just a matter of finding the right pressure. It handles C02 so it should handle Higher HPA just fine. It will have a substantial dump chamber of air behind it to due to the adapter and filling the 12g’s location.

These revolvers really are hot garbage for paintball usage. I haven’t been able to get anything other than rubber roundball to fire effectively. It obliterates first strikes and roundball paintballs into instant soup. Love the look and feel, but it just isn’t made to be used for our sport.

0/10 would not recommend. No banana for scale, sorry

[yb3duLmNvbS8vZm9ydW0vcGF]

Well I love them (with the Umarex Powder Balls) to shoot on Targets.
Here in good old Europe its used for self defence to. Depend on the Country the "Revolver" if made in an more compact form factor and the big Pumpgun Style one with 40J are nice and less lethal (and mostly the only option). In country like Germany where the are regulated to <7,5J (or so) the could be used only for Blinking.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I guess it better than nothing but they are terrible choices for self defense. Can you have Cross bows?

I'm not so sure it is better than nothing. If it gives the home owner a sense that it will actually do something and does basically nothing is it better to have that false sense of security or know that they should reach for something else first?

With pepper balls they can be effective. Honestly I would rather have T ball bat. When setup for self defense you can get those rounds humming. Close range it’s going to be a big deterrent. Frangible 5.56, Ranger T .40 , and 00 Buck is my personal favorites for myself.

[yb3duLmNvbS8vZm9ydW0vcGF]

Well here the law is a bit complicated. With self defence you can "just" use the same force as the Attacker. That mean when someone jump over the Fence shooting them with a Crossbow could be "to much" for the Court. A Paintball Marker is considered a "Toy" but you are not permit to Carry them loaded outside of your Property. Not just Pepperballs are "good" but a German Company offer Steel Balls who are Rubber coated. Until today I just shoot "light weight" Rubber Balls from my big Marker to some Cardboard Boxes and oh Boy I got screwed... Now the Door behind them have some big indents (keep in mind the are only Rubber no Metal inside!). Please dont think that is my only Product I own. I got from a Czech Company an original new Police Riot shield and Police Grade Pepper sprays.
It is sad how insane People nowerdays get. Pls look on Youtube for "Drachenlord, Schanze" what Young Adults do.

The makeup of the ball doesn't really matter. As it gets heavier the velocity goes down because you only have the same muzzle energy to work with. The heavier slower ball has the same energy as the lighter faster ball

That's the problem with everyone thinking these metal balls will do more damage than say a hard plastic, they won't. The only thing a heavier ball does is conserve the energy through it's flight better but considering these are all short range deterrents, it's kind of moot
