Jaylordofwaargh Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 However there is a second part of the proposition H8ers, fun for a while but not worth the resale value.... Now for context I know 2 people with one of these, and they love it, hand make holsters for them, "pouches" for the ammo rings. However, this is a very small sample size. And so.... Who has/had one? Why did you keep/ditch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvatron Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I have one (Gen 2) because I wanted something a bit different as a collector's piece and I bought it knowing it's something of a niche so I'd take a big loss reselling/trading it if I considered that. I do see myself fielding it one day but I'd want to sort out a holster first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted March 17 Moderators Share Posted March 17 I've got one, gen2, & bought it s/h, so someone else suffered the resale loss 👍😁. Can't see me ever selling it, giggle to use & plink with, plus kinda niche for civvy type loadouts, redneck with a shotgun etc lol. I've got a locking holster too, have them for all my guns, when you know you know😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherBill Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Excuse my ignorance but what is a H8ers apart from a twat arguing about slow airsofters getting hit by 6mm BB's? Galvatron, Anonymoose, The_Lord_Poncho and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, should've included a reference I guess 😅 @Tackle @Galvatron thanks lads, now a sample of 4! ButcherBill and Tackle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTea Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) I didn't realise they made a version with adjustable hop. Hows the performance vs other 'regular' pistols? Being NBB and CO2 I guess it's pretty gas efficient. Edited March 17 by MrTea Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being NBB and CO2 I guess it's pretty gas efficient. Very gas efficient. I went through 8 "Oreos" of BBs and it ran out of CO2 on the 9th. I was able to lift 0.28g BBs on a 20m range when I tweaked the hop-up. Apparently with Gen 1, you will struggle to lift more than 0.25g to the same distance.

Moderators Tackle Posted March 19 Moderators Share Posted March 19 They do another one, think its called the hdr50, can take paintball or solid rubber balls, was thinking of getting one for a giggle as apparently there's an upgrade kit that pushes output up to 7.5j , might be good for dispatching the rats that are pestering my chooks ?

When I've needed a WOW react as I can't give a 'careful now' and laugh.... That sounds intense, but hey, if it helps defend the chooks Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the HDR50 (and HDR68) It is (they are) fun - I do like revolvers and due to there having been only a couple of old school retail and custom revolvers so when a 3D printed kit came out I converted an airgun to paintball. Then an original old school paintball revolver became available so I bought that too ….. and then Umarex brought out the HDR50 - a non standards paintball calibre and I’d have preferred a 68 version but as there wasn’t I had to have it ….. and then they brought out the HDR68 ….. I do like revolvers and I’ve got quite a few The Umarexs are not adjustable, and as originally produced for ‘Home defence’ they pretty much run as the CO2 12 gram will let them. Two (or three) editions are available in most of the Umarex HDR ranges - the mid or lower power rated ones are the maximum for the UK If used as paintball pistols with frangible paintballs then (under current Home Office guidelines) then they are UK legal up to 12ft lbs If used as air pistols with any other projectiles (rubber balls etc) then they need to be within 6ft lbs My HDR 68 shoots hot on a fresh 12 gram (330fps - which could be within the legal energy limit depending on paintball weight, but well in excess of playable velocity, and dropped to 115fps before drastically falling as it empties) Its not trustworthy enough to be playable (280fps or 280fps would be playable velocity limits), and if loaded with rubber balls etc well exceeds the airpistol limit of 6ft lbs) The HDR50 would be paintball playable depending on site rules, (the lower mass meaning less energy per FPS, but rules are likely to still be 250-280fps) I haven’t noted down my test velocities to be able to say where it would be as an airpistol (Note that the full design standard for paintball goggles not only covers lens impact but also sets that any part of the goggle/any direction of impact is up to 300fps - site insurance will require adhesion to standards, therefore a site that allows lower calibres to use a higher velocity may not be paying attention) @TackleI know that you won’t need to be told, but for the record and any others who read this …… Never have a paintball type gun in an accessible manner with solid projectiles and/or CO2, and especially not in bedside drawers. The police get excited when they find those Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted March 19 Moderators Share Posted March 19 Tbh my 27yo son has his guns in a locker under his bed, but batteries/gas/BBs are under lock & key in the garage, which in itself has extra security due to my bikes/tools etc being in there. Don't think you can ever be too careful. Tommikka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you can ever be too careful. Avoiding a lifestyle that attracts a police raid helps too I had a lot of mine at a mates for sometime (locked up), and the local bobby was warned off to be aware in case an AK47 hit the streets as a result of a burglary I have once had a police stop and opened with telling them what was in my car boot - which turned into an interested positive chat Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
