AEA Harpoon (Double Barrel Shot Gun) First Impressions.

[@georgehaddad785]

This would be a good device for home defense IF the cartridges had a indicator to let you know that they had a full charge or had leaked

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

That would be awesome if the cartridges had some type of indicator!

[@latenightwizard6892]

For real. I totally buy it. If it did.

[@ronnywouters7037]

Bravo.

[@mikegross3800]

A little touch of silicone grease on the o-ring will solve the bleed down issue. I did this with mine, and the cartridges have maintained their pressure for 2 months now.

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

I agree I use silicone grease every time I refill and so far no leaks!

[@LessLethalDad]

Hey Scott, the harpoon really is amazing. They definitely nailed it with this one. Great review as always 🫡

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

Thank you!!!

[@ScaredyCatTactical]

While this is a really an interesting new tool for HPA-power, I don't recommend double barrel shot guns in general for home defense. Two shots and that's all you got. Power is good but capacity is arguably more important. AEA is really pushing the envelope though and that's good overall for airgun enthusiasts.

[@ClaudeBohls]

Beats a sharp stick

[@Berrymore84]

@@ScaredyCatTactical what i like the power of each shot is consistent, regular reservoir tank has to deal with troubles of power curve. I think AEA has a pump action shotgun too?

[@Doobie603]

IDK I think I would be pretty effective with this...

[@xanderbrindle]

They have a version that takes a clip, but it's a lot bigger.

[@벽을뚫는포신]

Hello I'm watching from Korea. That's really amazing!! How does that bullet work? I don't think it's a CO2 capsule, but if it bursts through the primer, there will be a hole, so how does compressed air eject toward the gun port?

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

Hi! The air cylinders have a screw on cap with a center hole and you place a thin round piece of metal called a disc burst in the cap that covers the hole. On the other end of the air cylinder you screw on the fill probe and fill to 5000 psi using either a high pressure hand pump or air compressor. Once it is filled you unscrew the fill probe and screw in the slug holder that holds the 50 cal projectile and place into the barrels. When fired the firing pin strikes the disc burst piercing it and a small amount of air is released and creates a vacuum that opens the large valve behind the slug and pushes it out of the barrel. Once fired the disk burst is no good since it has a hole so it is replaced with a new one every time you refill but they are very cheap!

[@conradfirmes9528]

@@airgunnerreviews7888is the 50cal slugs you are using.498 or .495 and what weight to get max FPE?? I heard someone fit .510? TIA

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

Right now I’m using texoma 50 cal 510, 235 grain. I should have a total of 12 air cartridges by Wednesday hopefully, and I have a lot of testing including getting some chrony numbers, air cartridge reliability, testing double fire feature to see how far the slugs separate from each other and accuracy.

[@larryjanson4011]

not sure but looks like you only get the two shots then you are out of ammo. unless you drop a couple hundred more for extra loads. then out till you can get more compressed air into them. is this right? or are the cartridge's just one shot and dump in the trash? aka one co2 canister per shot ? i like the short barrel set up for home defense as the law says non crooks can not have short barrel's on guns.

[@Doobie603]

no co2 canisters, these are reusable and about 30 bucks a canister. You punch a hole through a burst disc that you replace each time, it comes with 100 to start. It costs a little up front but air is really really cheap and slugs and pellets are a fraction of what bullets cost. It is perfect for what is intended for.

[@ianevangelista4577]

My tip is if you can put a more smaller 1500 psi just 357 like cartage is more better and also compact and can put into box magazines that be nice 😊👍 but love this air shot gun😊❤😊❤😊

[@jordanhorst6]

load your slug into the black sleeve before threading the red cartridge on, so it's safer and less likely to get an ND

[@Doobie603]

There is no real ND with these cartridges the air could come out but it won't propel the charge like that

[@ericgordon2135]

this what wesly snipes used in blade trinity

[@scoottheharbor]

I would love to know how long the cartridges can hold pressure.

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

Hi there! I’m hoping to get some shooting time in today and the last time I used the Harpoon was 7/30. I have a total of 9 air cartridges all filled at various times do to purchase dates so it will be a promising sign if they all go bang, stay tuned and thanks for dropping by!

[@jpslaym0936]

Macaspeed tested the .457 cal long barrel and hit 645 fps / 195 ft/lbs KE

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

That is crazy power!

[@edkcustoms]

the cartridge has some huge potential when were talking about a much longer barrel 😎

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

I totally agree and I think there going to be much more reliable than the Defender cartridges!

[@edkcustoms]

@@airgunnerreviews7888 Yes i think so to. seems like they have improved the seal quite a bit.

[@jeffreysims544]

My question is should I buy one ?

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

Good question! It is too early to give this a 100% thumbs up since I have not shot it as of yet! I am waiting to see if the air cartridges hold air for at least a week. This is going to be as loud as a firearm so I will need to travel up the mountain to my brothers house to test and video the results. The shotgun itself is impressively well made and I am hoping the air cartridges are reliable! However if you don’t jump on getting one now there is a good chance of running out of stock!

[@lesslethalfordummies]

The air cartridge your mom warned you about 😂 Promising platform hopefully they can hold air more reliably.

[@gerardomagallanes2789]

I had a question how do you fill the cartridges with air and how many shots do you get per cartridge

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

You need a PCP hand air pump or compressor capable of reaching 4500-5000 PSI. You can find these units on Amazon or any online pellet gun store. You get only one shot per fill but with that said you are looking at 100 FPE and will easily put a 50 caliber slug through a 2x4.

[@gerardomagallanes2789]

@@airgunnerreviews7888 also I had one more question when filling the cartridge with air how do you know when it is full?

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

If your using a hand pump you will know your close to full when your back and arms feel like rubber, just know at that point you still have 10 pumps to go. Lol just kidding 😂. There is a pressure gauge on both the hand pump and air compressor and most of these units max out at 4500 to 5000 psi so you cannot over fill.

[@FightingAddiction540]

How many shots do you get per cartridge?

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

True to shotgun form you only get one shot per cartridge. You can order extra cartridges they cost $75.00 per pair and come with the slug holders that screw on to the top of the cartridge. Definitely not a cheap investment but they are reusable.

@@airgunnerreviews7888 I mean it’s better than nothing if you can’t own a firearm for home defense

[@airgunnerreviews7888]

Hi there! I think it is too early yet to say it is not reliable only time will tell to see if the cylinders hold air, by the end of this week I will have 12 air cartridges and plan on testing for long term storage. So far the 6 cartridges I own have been promising. Of course it would be nice if there was a charge meter on them! They are definitely better made than the Defender cartridges

[@Doobie603]

Don't test that theory at my house. haha
