Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E HDX .68 Paintball Shotgun is a single action only trigger that requires the Pump Action to engage the trigger. Without working the pump the trigger is in the rear portion and does not operate until the Shotgun is pumped, then it pops forward and becomes active. At that point I would say it is fairy short and light, maybe with a little bit of friction but not bad overall. There is also a cross-bolt safety right behind the trigger making it easy to engage and disengage the safety.

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E HDX .68 Paintball Shotgun but plan a full Field Test Shooting Video shortly. As with most Paintball Airguns they are not going to be super accurate even at 30 feet away. Generally speaking most tests I have done with Paintball guns using rubber balls perform about the same with most of the rubber balls hitting my paper sheet target (8x11) but some even missing completely. In terms of power, on the box Umarex claims 250 fps but I have seen higher velocity specifications on websites including our own so I guess we will find out for sure when I perform my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex T4E HDX .68 Paintball Shotgun,

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E HDX .68 Paintball Shotgun is very good since this Paintball Shotgun is made for military and law enforcement training use. It has a very good weight and feel to it and has metal parts where you would expect them including the receiver. If you picked this item up along with a real steel Shotgun it would be hard to tell or feel the difference at first inspection.

Realism: The Umarex T4E HDX .68 Paintball Shotgun as far as I know is not an exact replica of any specific Shotgun but it does look like what you would expect to see from a Tactical Styled Pump Action Shotgun. In terms of mechanical working parts everything does what it supposed to do and works as expected.

Purchase it from the Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

• Expected fairly high fps power of 350+ with .68 caliber paintballs/rubber balls, a bit too high for your average paintball field but perhaps powerful enough to discourage an extruder?

• Lots of mounting option for accessories like a tac light, laser or other sighting option with its upper and lower picatinny rail setup.

• Quick CO2 pierce system so you can leave a CO2 in it ready to go any time with no worries about CO2 leaking out.

• Simple to use Cross Bolt Safety.

• Nice high capacity 16 round internal magazine.

• Dual CO2 offers more shots per CO2 change.

• Build quality feels really good, very solid, with lots of weight to it.

• Very intimidating looking, just that alone may scare off an intruder.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Need a tool to load rounds.

• Will not get lots of shots per dual CO2, around 70 or so but not bad.

• A bit on the large and bulky side.

Comments:

I am not sure exactly what one would use this Paintball Rifle for but there are a few options. You could use it on the field but with everyone else using high capacity rapid fire Paintball Guns you might be “Out Gunned” to say the least unless of course everyone else was limited in some way to their ammo capacity and rate of fire. Again the Umarex T4E HDX .68 Paintball Shotgun could be used as a non lethal home defense option when combined with the right ammunition type like say some pepper balls? The look of this Shotgun is probably enough to make an intruder get the heck out but I would not count on it. No matter what you plan to use it for it is an awesome Paintball Airgun for sure but just be aware if is not going to be the cheapest option at around $450 Canadian.

As the title suggest this a video about a Huge Mystery Box so I am not going to say what’s in it, I can say that their are 4 main products mostly rifles per-say. One is a Futuristic Full Auto BB Rifle, one is a Paintball Shotgun, One is an AEG Airsoft Rifle and one is a Replica Break Barrel Pellet Rifle.

So I have a lot of variety here to show everyone! I did absolutely zero research on any of the products I show in this video since like you I had no real idea what was inside other than how many and that most where rifle based.

Enjoy finding out what new products I will be reviewing over the next month with dedicated Table Top and Field Test Shooting videos.

There are many types of magazines used in Airguns and some of this is dependent on the ammunition used.

For instance a stacked type of magazine often used for Steel BB and Airsoft can not be used for Pellets as pellets tend to deform when stacked in such a way since there is no metal casting protecting them from mashing into each other.

So what type of magazines do we generally see in Airguns? The most common Airgun magazines are as follows:

Simple Stick Magazine

• Mostly used with Steel BB but also found in some Airsoft Airguns.

• Some Pellet Airguns use a type of stick magazine with a rotary magazine on each end.

• Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.

• Can be made from plastic or steel or a combination of both materials.

Full Size Drop Out Magazine

• Used with Steel BB and Airsoft guns.

• Generally you will find these types magazines hold both the BB’s and CO2.

• Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.

• Commonly used with Airsoft Rifles in mid to high capacity.

• Can be made from plastic or steel or a combination of both materials.

Rotary magazine

• Used with Steel BB, Airsoft and Pellet Airguns.

• Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.

• Can be made from plastic or steel.

• Can often use mixed ammo types as in both 4.5mm Steel BB and .177 caliber pellet.

Belt Fed Magazine

• Like rotary magazine belt fed magazine can accommodate Steel BB, Pellet and Airsoft but are most often used with Pellet Airguns.

• Usually found in a full size magazine that also holds the CO2.

• Used in non-blowback and blowback Airguns.

• Can be made from plastic or steel or a combination of both materials.

Internal Magazine

• Used with Steel BB, Airsoft.

• Can have a hopper built in hat feeds a spring fed magazine.

• Usually found in lesser expensive Airguns but not a rule.

In this Video I go through each type of Airgun Magazine and talk about their differences and uses.

In this two part video series I compare several Air Pistols to each other to find out what type of round has the most power and accuracy. The guns I use for this not so scientific test are the KWC Model DE /50 Desert Eagle CO2 Blowback 6mm Plastic Airsoft Pistol, the EKOL ES 55 CO2 4.5mm Steel BB Pistol, the Umarex Magnum Research Desert Eagle Blowback CO2 .177 Caliber Pellet Pistol and the Umarex T4E TR50 CO2 .50 Caliber Paintball Pistol.

For this Video 2 Accuracy Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns at a paper target setup 30 feet down range using a semi rested shooting position with my hands resting on a sand bag up front and seated on a stool in the back. It’s not perfect but works well enough. I didn’t take a ton of time with each gun since there where 4 to shoot in this Field Test Shooting Video so accuracy may have been a bit better if I took a little more time with each gun.

In Video 2 I test the power and penetration of each Airgun option shooting at a pop can, a soup can and a toilet paper roll so make sure to watch that video if you have not already watched it.

For this Video 1 Power Test I shoot all of the above listed Airguns first at a pop can, then a soup can and then a toilet paper roll. The ides is to test penetration abilities with the pop and soup can and then raw force shooting the toilet paper as it will absorb all the energy from each airgun round and by gauging how much the toilet paper reacts or moves it should tell us which airgun has the most raw power or energy.

In Video 2 I will be testing accuracy using my standard 30 round paper target setup in the Replica Airguns Sea Can so stay posted for that upcoming video shortly…

In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol in the Indoor Replica Airguns Sea Can Shooting Range to find out what the real world velocity and accuracy is for it. I start off by putting 5 rounds through my Chronograph and average the fps, I then I setup a fresh paper target 30 feet down range and put (max amount in the magazine) 8 Paintball rounds into it to see how close of a grouping I can get. If you want more details and specifications on the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol then checkout my Table Top Video for that information.

Starting with the Chronograph velocity test Umarex says you can expect around 350 - 400 fps which seems rather high to me based on my other Field Tests with similar .43 caliber Paintball Pistols. Perhaps this is using actual Paintballs whereas I was using rubber balls for my testing to reduce the mess in the Sea Can. I was able to average 300 fps using a brand new CO2 in what I would consider to be about a room temperature conditions which means in warmer situations I am sure we can get even higher than the 300 fps I hit on this day.

For the next portion of the Indoor Field Test I loaded 8 rounds into the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol and carefully placed them into a paper target 30 feet down range. I was using my standard seated position in the back with my hands resting on a sand bag up front which I have found to be fairly stable but there will still be some human factor which can effect overall accuracy. My results where about what I was expecting with a Paintball Pistol shooting Rubber Balls, generally they will spread out a bit at 30 feet and in this Field Test my 8 shot group spread out to about 8 inches or so. They did seem to be well centered on the target as a group and if I was shooting at a human sized torso at that distance I would have hit it every time.

The Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is another nice addition to the Umarex / T4E lineup up .43 Caliber Replica Paintball Pistols and if you are a Glock owner and want a Paintball Pistol to train with, then the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is about as good as you can get, the only other option would be to go with an Umarex Glock Airsoft or BB Pistol but at least we now have a bunch of options depending on your specific needs!

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol feels a lot like a double action trigger mainly because when you pull the trigger the inner barrel travels backwards into the magazine placing a paintball round in the barrel which seals the barrel with the magazine so less CO2 is wasted. This does make the trigger a little bit longer and heavier than a single action trigger. The internal hammer/striker is engaged from the blowback action reducing the friction on the trigger. In terms of it being similar to a Glock trigger pull it will be a bit heavier and longer but not bad overall.

View fullsize

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol out so stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting Video where I will see what kind of velocity and accuracy we can expect from it. For now you can watch my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex T4E Walther PPQ M2 .43 Caliber Paintball Pistol as it is very similar in design and should for the most part perform about the same.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is really very good, metal parts are where you would expect them, the slide, slide catch, barrel, magazine and most internal parts giving the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol a solid 1.6 pound overall weight with the magazine in. The fit and finish is also very good with virtually no slide wiggle to be found.

View fullsize

Realism: The Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is a licensed Glock Replica via Umarex which owns the licensing so you will find Glock licensing and branding throughout this Paintball Pistol. Just looking at the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol you would find it hard to tell the difference between it and the real steel Glock 17 Gen5 but there are some notable differences as in the length of the slide travel which is about half of what you would expect from a real Glock. This is to account for the obvious internal differences to allow for CO2 and paintballs to be used. Overall the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol would make a great training pistol if you are a Glock owner and want to use the closest gun to it.

View fullsize

Pros:

• Really great weight and solid feeling gun.

• Full Metal slide that locks back on the last shot.

• All metal heavy full size drop out magazine adds some additional weight to the gun.

• Good for Glock shooters looking for a training weapon.

• Everything works pretty much like the real gun so again great as a training tool.

• Easy to see white dot sights front and back.

• Working trigger safety.

• Fit and finish is excellent.

• Magazine spring release really shoots the magazine out so be warned!

• .43 caliber barrel opening, adds to realism.

• Fully Glock licensed via Umarex.

• Comes in a ice hard shell case.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Trigger is a bit heavy, not as light as a real Glock, more of a double action trigger in function.

• Magazine only holds 8 rounds, so you are going to need extra magazines for sure.

• Blowback action is not full blowback, more like a typical half blowback BB gun.

Comments:

The Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is another great addition to the Replica Paintball Pistol options out there and if you are a Glock owner looking for a training gun you can use for some additional trigger time outside of a gun range or want to perform realistic training exercises with live players then the Umarex T4E Glock 17 Gen5 CO2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol will fill this need. I am looking forward to testing it out when I make My Field Test Shooting Video as Umarex claims it to have significantly higher fps (350-400) then some of the other replica T4E Paintball guns I have reviewed so far. I guess we will see soon!

Wow, an accessory review, not many of these :) Today I take a look at the Amomax Airsoft Airgun Holster product line since at some point you may want to put your gun in a holster or practice drawing your gun from a holster?

The good news is we just got in a decent amount of product for our Amomax Airsoft Airgun Holsters. Here is a bit of info about Amomax but of course make sure to watch the video as I take a good look at a few of the versions we sell in our Canada and US online Replica Airguns Stores.

Type: Airgun Accessory.
Manufacturer: Distributed by Air Venturi.
Model: Air Venturi 3000 PSI with Stock & Adapter Aluminum Tank.
Materials: Aluminum.
PSI: 3000.
Capacity: 13 CU.
Output PSI: 1100.
Diameter: 2 inches.
Length: 10 inches.
Features: Two ASTM burst disks, integrated pressure gauge.
Accessories included: Buttstock, CO2 Adapter.

In this Table Top Review Video I go over the features and benefits of the Air Venturi 3000 PSI with Stock & Adapter Aluminum Tank system, what to expect and some of the Pros and Cons for it.

I will also be following up my Table Top video with a Field Test Shooting Video to see what possible advantages and disadvantages the Air Venturi 3000 PSI with Stock & Adapter Aluminum Tank has in a real world test of its performance, hopefully all advantages!

View fullsize

Pros:

• Compact and is the perfect size to use as a rear buttstock for various 88 Gram and or HPA rifles.

• Smaller tank means if you are using a foot pump it won’t take all day to fill up :)

• Comes with adapter so can be used with regular HPA and 88 Gram CO2 systems.

• Regulated to 1100 psi so should perform better in terms of max velocity and consistency compared to CO2 which is around max 800-900 psi with velocity being effected by cool down.

• Not effected by colder temperatures compared to CO2.

• Once you have this tank the cost is virtually nothing to shoot compared to expensive 88 Gram CO2 cartages. You just need to buy your pellets or BB’s.

Cons:

• Still takes a while to pump up using a foot pump system.

• Higher initial cost ($195) than simply buying 88 gram CO2 cartages when you need them.

• Will need access to a pump or compressor to use it.

• Doesn’t look as good as the supplied buttstock at least with the Sig Sauer MCX and MPX.

View fullsize

Comments:

I guess the question is who is this for? If you are a casual shooter that perhaps owns the Sig MPX or MCX or even another 88 Gram CO2 Air Rifle that the Air Venturi 3000 PSI with Stock & Adapter Aluminum Tank would work with then this may be a bit expensive especially if you don’t have a way to pressurizer the tank at home. On the other hand if you already have a foot pump or air compressor or easy access to one and maybe you have other HPA or CO2 based airguns this tank will work with then it’s kind a no brainer to get it. Maybe you juts want a system that gives you maximum and consistent velocity no matter how cold it is outside. All good reasons to get one in my books.

I made a video a little bit ago talking about how Canada’s new Bill C-21 will affect pretty every gun owner in Canada including even airgun owners of BB, Pellet Airsoft and even Paintball Guns. Make sure to watch that video first called Bill C-21 Canada is Going After Your Red Ryder BB Gun.

This video is all about how you can get involved in making some waves by signing two online petitions along with contacting your local Member of Parliament and letting them know your disapproval of Bill C-21 and all that it imposes on law abiding Canadian gun owners.

Probably the most important online petition to sign would be the House of Commons Petition E-3201 Bill C-21 so make sure to sign that one!

The other online e-petition we need to sign is the change.org petition.

And lastly but also super important is to send an email to your local member of Parliament again let them know your disapproval of Bill C-21. I have included a link to the web[age where you can locate your local MP and below that is a template of what you could include in your email to them.

https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3201

Dear (MP),

I am a constituent in your riding. I am writing to you to voice my concerns over the new provisions that were announced under the proposed Bill C-21, and how this will impact myself, my community and many other Canadians.

"Criminal Code 1 (1) The definition replica firearm in subsection 84(1) of the Criminal Code is replaced by the following:

replica firearm means any device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm that is designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules, and that itself is not a firearm, but does not include any such device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, an antique firearm; (réplique)

(2) Section 84 of the Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (3.1): Certain firearms deemed to be prohibited devices

(3.2) For the purposes of sections 99 to 101, 103 to 107 and 117.03, a firearm is deemed to be a prohibited device if

(a) it is proved that the firearm is not designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second or at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules; and (b) the firearm is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm, other than an antique firearm, that is designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second and at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules."

Make sure to also sign ePetition e-3201 to put a stop to Bill C-21:

https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3201

The long and short of it, Bill C-21 is an attack on law abiding Canadian gun owners and goes so far as to include the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun and many other Airguns as a Prohibited Firearm in Canada.

I am not a Lawyer or Bureaucrat so this video is my personal take on how I perceive the new Gun laws and Bill C-21. Please do your own investigation on these new laws and come to your own conclusions.

I don’t ask this often, please like and share this video with as many people as you can in Canada and outside of Canada. This is a new level of attack on Canadian Gun rights and we need to stand up for our gun rights or there will be no more guns in Canada eventually. This could happened in your country and has already happened in many others.

So how did we get here… Back in May of 2020 Trudeau (without going through Parliament) banned some 1500 (what he referred to as) Assault rifles. For the most part but not exclusive to, anything that looks scary with a semi auto action. Many rifles with semi auto actions that did not look scary where not on this banned list. Some bolt action rifles and even shotguns made it to this banned list of guns deemed by Trudeau as dangerous Assault Rifles.

Bill C-21 is now going after handguns in a similar capacity along with any Airgun that looks like a Firearm. 

In this video I am going to focus mainly on the Airgun side of how Bill C-21 effects Canadians so we are talking about BB Guns, Pellet Guns, Airsoft Guns, even Paintball Guns. But do understand if you own a handgun or even a rifle, Bill C-21 is coming after many of those guns as well making them literally impossible to own and use in any capacity other than keeping them in a safe at all times until you die in which it has to be relinquished without payment to the government.

How does Bill C-21 effect Airguns? Previously most Airguns where classified as Firearms but where unregulated so they didn’t require registration or even a Firearms license to sell, buy, own or use. Bill C-21 wants to make any Airgun that looks like a firearm (other than an antique firearm) prohibited. This means you will not be able to import, sell, or buy them in Canada. You will be able to keep your existing Prohibited Airguns but with extensive limitations on how you can keep and use them. Basically no use at all.

For the most part you will want to keep your now prohibited Airguns in a gun safe at home at all times or you risk having them confiscated from you since if you are transporting or using an Airgun, the police have the right to ask you to produce a Prohibited Firearms license which if I am not mistaken has not been made available since 1991, so the vast majority of gun owners especially none license holding Airgun owners do not have a Prohibited Firearms license nor is there any way to obtain such a license. How convenient!

Who does Bill C-21 effect? Firearms in Canada is a Multi Billion dollar industry and Airguns are an ever growing part of that industry. Bill C-21 effects Importers, Wholesalers, Retailers, Gun Ranges, Airsoft Fields, Gun Organizations, Gun Groups and of course every Firearm and Airgun owner in Canada. Bill C-21 wants to eliminate many aspects of the firearms Industry in Canada putting large and small business out of business. Replica Airguns will be gone if Bill C-21 passes in Canada, a business I founded and have been part of for over 15 years affecting many employees, families and of course customers.

How will Bill C-21 by eliminating the vast majority of Airguns in Canada keep Canadians safer and save lives as it proposes? I’m tryin to wrap my head around this one… So please tell me how many Pellet Rifles where used in mass shootings? How many drive by shootings involved Paintball guns? How many suicides have there been with BB pistols? How many police officers have died at the hands of an Airsoft wielding mad person? I’m going out on a limb here to say probably zero. And if any of these Airguns had been used in any of these situations that would have been a good thing because no lives would have been lost perhaps except for the user of the Airgun.

I want to end this video off with an example and an analogy of just exactly how ridiculous Bill C-21 is and how it will do absolutely zero to protect Canadians from criminals.

• Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle (1940) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

• Crosman 38T Pellet Revolver (1964) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

• Crosman 357 Pellet Revolver (1983) Will now be a Prohibited Firearm in Canada

• Air-Ordnance SMG 22 Caliber Full Auto Machine Gun (Modern Airgun) Currently and even after Bill C-21 will be an Unregulated Firearm in Canada with no license or registration required.

Analogy of how Bill C-21 is supposed to Make Canadians Safer:

Bill C-21 is going after law abiding Licensed and Registered gun owners and only allowing them to keep their now Prohibited Guns but not allowed them to use their prohibited guns in any capacity. Prohibited guns must be in a safe at all times unloaded and locked. You are not allowed to transfer them anywhere, you are not allowed to sell, loan or give them to another person, and upon death the prohibited gun/s must be relinquish to the Government. According to Bill C-21 this is apparently going to help stop non license holding non gun registered criminals from committing gun related crimes that for the most part do not obtain their firearms legally.

This is like saying that ICBC (Canadas Vehicle Insurance Agency) has looked into motor vehicle accidents and found that a high majority of vehicle accidents are caused by people that do not have drivers licenses and that do not have registered or insured vehicles, furthermore ICBC has come to the conclusion that vehicles related to these accidents often times are import sedans that have been lowered and tuned. So in order to reduce car accidents ICBC will be focusing on drivers with drivers licenses and registered and license vehicles that fit this description and any other vehicle they deem a possible threat , these registered and licensed vehicle owners will still be allowed to own their vehicles that fit this criteria and have them registered but they will not be allowed to drive their vehicle/s anymore. Their vehicle/s must be kept in the garage at all times and never driven. You can not sell or loan your vehicle/s to anyone and these vehicle/s will not be allowed to be imported, bought or sold anymore in Canada. Once you die your vehicle/s are relinquished by the Government without payment no matter what their assessed value.

I often have people ask me what is more powerful in terms of one gun over another and which Airguns have more raw power, BB versus, Pellet, versus Airsoft, versus Paintball?

Well in this indoor field test shooting video I compare all of the above head to head to see which Airgun not only has the most raw power but also how well they perform on a target setup 30 feet down range since after all what does it matter how powerful a gun is if it can not hit the target!

The Airguns I used in this head to head shooting performance test where as follows:

• EKOL ES 55 Non Blowback 4.5mm BB Pistol

• Umarex Desert Eagle Blowback .177 Cal. Pellet Pistol

• Cybergun Desert Eagle Blowback 6mm Airsoft Pistol

• Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Cal. Paintball Revolver

Keep in mind the ammunition for each Airgun is very different not just in terms of materials but also their weight which will have a big effect on the energy they produce. For example for this test I used 4.6 grain 4.5mm Steel BBs, 4.6 grain 6mm Aluminum Airsoft BB’s. 6.9 grain .177 cal. Lead Pellets and 17.7 grain .50 cal. Rubber Paintballs.

Watch my YouTube Video to see how well each Airgun did in this comparison shooting test!

If you have not already checked out my Table Top Video for the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver then make sure to do so for specifications and a closer look at it.

The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is an interesting Paintball pistol, it has a very different look and also uses .50 caliber Paintballs which are a little bit less common than the .68 and .43 caliber paintball gun I have been reviewing up until now. The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is some countries is marketed as a self defense gun but those versions do have a little bit more fps and foot pounds of energy. The version I am testing is not marketed here in Canada or the US as self defense products but rather as more of a training Paintball Gun.

Starting with my Chronograph velocity test I placed 5 Rubber Balls through my Chronograph using a brand new CO2. The Rubber balls I am going to say are a little bit heavier than standard Paintballs and Umarex claims the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is capable of hitting around 360 fps so with the heavier rubber balls I was expecting a little bit under the max fps. I was able to get an average of 328 fps so not bad at all.

View fullsize

Moving on to my accuracy test. I need up placing 10 of my 12 rounds into the paper target as I had two rounds that went off in what I am going to call an uncontrolled manor. The 10 rubber paintball rounds that did hit my paper target that was setup 30 feet down range all hit within about 6 inches of each other daily well centered left and right and a little bit low on the target. Gettin back to the uncontrolled shots, I had a situation where I pulled the trigger and the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver went click as you would expect but no CO2 was expelled and so no round was shot. I thought perhaps the cylinder was caught up so I went to wiggle it to try and free it up. As I did so the gun went off without my finger anywhere near the trigger. I am glad I was using rubber balls since the rubber ball hit my cabinet leaning a biota a mark but really causing any damage. This happened twice with the same cylinder, the second time I was bit more prepared for it and had the gun pointed well downrange. I was not able to recreate this problem again so perhaps the cylinder magazine was not seated properly but this still concerns me a bit.

Overall I really like the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver, it’s a pretty cool looking Paintball Gun with decent accuracy and power, you can even feel a little push back and barrel lift when you shoot it. I also like that you can preload a CO2 and puncture it whenever hypo are ready to shoot with a quick smack on the bottom of the grip. Just made sure to put the CO2 in the right way :)

I believe we are now on my third Shooting review for an Umarex T4E Paintball Pistol Series. My first T4E Pistol Shooting Review was for the Umarex T4E Walther PPQ M2 .43 Caliber Paintball Pistol back in 2018. And then in late December of 2019 I made my Shooting Review for the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Caliber Paintball Pistol. So here we are today performing my Indoor Shooting Test for the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol and since both my previous tests yielded fps around 300 and accuracy in the 6 inch grouping range I kind of know what to expect for it.

First, I put four rounds through my Chrony Chronograph to see what the real world FPS would be, keep in mind I was using rubber balls rather than paintballs and the rubber balls are a little bit heavier and smaller in diameter than paintballs so this could bring the FPS down a bit compared to the slightly lighter paintballs. Using a brand new CO2, the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol average 303 FPS which was higher than the claimed 290 FPS. Temperature inside my Indoor Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 22 degrees Celsius or 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

View fullsize

Moving on to my accuracy testing as per my usual indoor field tests, I positioned myself 30 feet back from a fresh paper target and using a seated and rested shooting position I shot a full magazine (8 rounds) of rubber balls on target with the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. As mentioned before I was expecting around a 6 inch grouping and got pretty close to it getting closer to an 8 inch 8 shot grouping. The rubber balls did center well on the target all placing uniformly arounds the bullseye. If I was aiming at a human sized torso, I would have hit it with every shot from 30 feet away so good enough for me.

As expected I was able to get very similar and decent results compared to the other Umarex .43 Caliber CO2 Blowback Paintball Pistols I have already reviewed. I did want to mention some of shooting qualities you will find with the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. The trigger can feel a bit heavy especially using rubber balls as when you pull the trigger the inner barrel moves back and into the magazine going around the paintball and helping to seal off the CO2 from escaping. There is a bit of friction and I find the rubber paintballs seem to have more friction perhaps because the rubber grips more than the plastic surface on standard paintballs? This extra trigger friction or heaviness is really only noticeable when you are pulling the trigger slowly for accuracy testing but when shooting quickly as you would be more likely to do so in an actual training simulation, the trigger friction is all but forgotten about.

The blowback action is very snappy and the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is I would say on the loud side so keep that in mind. All in all another great addition to the Umarex T4E .43 Caliber Paintball Series of CO2 Blowback Paintball Guns.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol feels a lot like a double action trigger mainly because when you pull the trigger the inner barrel travels backwards into the magazine placing a paintball round in the barrel which seals the barrel with the magazine so less CO2 is wasted. This does make the trigger a little bit longer and heavier than a single action trigger. I believe the internal hammer/striker is engaged from the blowback action.

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol out so stay posted for my future Field Test Shooting Video where I will see what kind of fps and accuracy we can expect from the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. You can watch my Field Test Shooting Video for the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol as it is very similar in design and should for the most part perform about the same.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is really very good, metal parts are where you would expect them, the slide, slide catch, barrel, magazine and most internal parts giving the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol a decent overall weight with the magazine in which makes the Paintball version a little bit lighter than a real steel Glock 17 (624 grams - 22 ounces). The Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol does have a polymer frame but again this is normal with todays modern guns and helps keep the weight down. Fit and finish is also very good!

Realism: The Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is not an actual replica of the the Glock17 Pistol, it is Umarex’s version of the Glock, Umarex does now the Glock lisense but perhaps they where not able to find an actual Glock 17 Paintball gun they could bring to market. The T4E TPM1 is designed to hold and feel similar to a Glock and for most real steel Glock owners the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol would be close enough for training purposes. You will find that the slide cycle distance is a bit shorter than it would be meaning that when the side catch is engaged the slide does not go as far back as it the real 9mm Glock. Field stripping the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol will requires some tools and pin removal.

Pros:

• Really great weight and solid feeling gun.

• Full Metal slide that locks back on the last shot.

• All metal heavy full size drop out magazine adds some additional weight to the gun.

• Good for Glock shooters looking for a similar training weapon.

• Everything works pretty much like the real gun so again great as a training tool.

• Easy to see yellow dot sights front and back.

• Working trigger safety.

• Fit and finish is excellent.

• Magazine spring release really shoots the magazine out.

• 43 caliber barrel opening, adds to realism.

Cons:

• White warning lettering stands out a bit too m much on the slide.

• Magazine only holds 8 rounds, so you are going to need extra magazines for sure.

• Blowback action is not full blowback, more like a typical half blowback BB gun.

Comments:

TheUmarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is mechanically very close to the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol and the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol in how it functions as a Paintball Pistol so I expect all of them to shoot very similarly and that’s not a bad thing since previous versions I have tested so far have performed rather well for me in the Replica Airguns Sea Can Indoor Shooting Range. If you are a Glock fan than the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is about as close as you are going to get at least for now to a Glock Replica Paintball Pistol. As of right now being stuck at home, perhaps a Glock Paintball Trainer like the Umarex T4E TPM1 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol using .43 caliber rubber ammo may just allow you to get some indoor shooting practice to keep your shooting skills up.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is double action only but not very long with a very different feel than I am use to. The best way to describe it is kind of lumpy, it starts out a bit firm and then eases off a lot just before it releases. Like climbing a hill and then coasting down the otters side. I will have to see how it feels when it’s all loaded up with CO2 and Paintballs and actually shooting at a target.

View fullsize

Accuracy: So far I have not had the opportunity to test the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver out and before I can do so I need to get myself some .50 caliber rubber Paintballs as all I have on hand right now are .43 and .68 caliber paintballs. Stay posted for my Field Test Shooting Video review for the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver.

Build Quality: The build quality of the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is good overall. It is a mostly plastic build with some metal parts where they need to be internally. It is essentially two plastic halves held together by screws with the few actual mechanical working external parts. You have the trigger with it’s working trigger safety, the removable magazine and magazine release and of course the quick puncture CO2 screw knob. The hammer is internal. The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is not very heavy but it does feel really solid in the hand.

View fullsize

Realism: The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver  is not really a replica of any real steel gun that I know of. It does share a lot of similarities with the Umarex Brodax which is a CO2 BB Revolver. The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is basically a very modern looking revolver. It is not going to fool anyone up close that you actually have a real steel revolver but then again I don’t think if you are shooting it at anyone they are going to want to get all that close to you :)

Purchase it from: The Canada Replica Airguns Store or the US Replica Airguns Store

View fullsize

Pros:

• Expected fairly high fps power of 360 with .50 caliber paintballs, a bit too high for your average paintball field but perhaps powerful enough to discourage an intruder?

• Lots of mounting option for accessories like a tac light, laser or other sighting option with it’s upper and lower picatinny rail setup.

• Quick CO2 pierce system so you can leave a CO2 in it ready to go any time with no worries about CO2 leaking out.

• Working Trigger Safety.

• Comes with 5 total magazines you can preload ready for use.

• Super non-complicated design. Once loaded with CO2 and Paintballs all you need to do is hit the CO2 knob and then pull the trigger.

• Build quality feels good, the gun is fairly beefy but not overly heavy or hard to hold.

View fullsize

Cons:

• Mostly all plastic build.

• Sights do not have white dots on them and are not adjustable.

• Do not expect a lot of shots per CO2. Will find out when I do my Field Test Shooting Review.

Comments:

The Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is an interesting Paintball gun, overseas versions are marketed as the HDR50 which stands for “Home Defense Revolver”, while the North American version is marketed as the TR50 or “Training Revolver”. This is mainly because in the Europe most countries are not allowed to own real handguns but can own “Self Defense handguns”. In North America as most people are well aware, in the US real handguns are very easy to obtain and can be used for self defense. Just across the border here in Canada we can not really purposely have on hand anything that we plan to use as a weapon for self defense so the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver is marketed as a Training Revolver. What’s the difference? Not much, our North American 360 fps version is a lot like the 7.5 joule German version in terms of power but you can also get a more powerful 11 joule version in the UK. All that said, the Umarex T4E TR50 .50 Caliber Paintball Revolver at least here in Canada is made and marketed as a Paintball gun but on the field may be too powerful? What you decide to do with it is up to you!

It’s always fun shooting a Paintball Gun like the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for a change but in this case it’s not all that different then shooting one of my BB or Airsoft pistols, with the acceptation of the .43 caliber rubber balls. I went with rubber balls rather than Paintballs inside my Sea Can Indoor Airguns Shooting Range to keep things clean. Actual Paintballs may have performed a little different than the rubber balls but this gives us a good idea on what the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is capable of

First, I put five rounds through my Chrony Chronograph to see what the real world FPS would be, keep in mind I was using rubber balls rather than paintballs and the rubber balls are a little bit heavier than paintballs so this could bring the FPS down a bit compared to the slightly lighter paintballs. Using a brand new CO2, the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol average 315 FPS which was higher than the claimed 290 FPS! Temperature inside my Sea Can Airgun Shooting Range was around 24 degrees Celsius or 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Moving on to my accuracy testing, as per usual I positioned myself 30 feet back from my fresh paper target and using a seated and rested shooting position I shot a full magazine (8 rounds) of rubber balls on target with the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol. I was not expecting as tight groups as I would get using a BB or Airsoft pistol since Paintball guns are not known for super tight groups. I did manage to shoot around a 6 inch group with most of the shots staying within around 3 inches all pretty well centered. This is about what I was expecting as paintball guns are not meant for "target practicing", generally you are going to be shooting human sized objects and hoping to get some well placed center mass shots. 3-6 inch accuracy at 30 feet will get the job done for sure. I did find the trigger using rubber balls did have a bit more friction while the inner barrel seated itself into the magazine. When shooting quickly with the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol it is much less noticeable and overal the trigger is not bad.

I know some of you are going to ask about using the Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol with rubber balls for non-lethal self defense and the reality is it will not stop a person who is determined on hurting you. There is simply not enough stoping power here. Will it a lot if you get shot up close with one of these Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistols especially directly on the skin ? For sure but a well timed punch has more chance of dropping someone than a .43 caliber rubber ball moving at around 300 FPS. You may scare someone off simply by brandishing it but you take the chance of the person calling your bluff. Perhaps 8 rubber balls to the face will change their mind but that's a chance you have to figure out if you want to take or not.

The Umarex T4E S&W M&P9 M2.0 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol is on par with the Umarex Walther PPQ M2 .43 Cal. Paintball Pistol for being about the best I have seen in terms of replica paintball guns. It is as good as they come for realism. In terms of power and accuracy I was very pleases with the results I got. Throw in some extra magazines and you have yourself a nice trainer.
