Umarex HDR 50 vs TORPEDO REVOLVER • Home Defense Airguns

Today we finally compare the famous Umarex HDR 50 (or TR 50 in the US) to the brand new Mercury Rise TR 50 or Torpedo Revolver.
Both 50 caliber paintball markers are designed for “less lethal” home defense, but which one will perform better?
In this video we cover all the main points and differences between the HDR 50 and the Torpedo Revolver, both factory 'out of the box' guns with a similar power output. A MUST WATCH!

[@kevinmakyle8779]

For those that are saying the tr50 less lethal revolver is not a good less lethal defensive weapon , I highly disagree with you. I carry the tr50 on me every single day as a personal defensive weapon. And I have it loaded with devastator rounds. I carry 3 full magazines loaded with this ammo. I recently had to use it against a guy that was charging at me with a knife in his hand. I shot him in the chest with 3 devastator rounds in quick succesion and he dropped the knife and ran away while actually crying. Oh and I have the 11 joule version that shoots between 450 and 470 fps.....

[@alfonso7851]

I agree with you, I have always defended that these weapons with kinetic projectiles can make a person armed with a knife desist from their intentions and here your testimony proves it.And we are talking about an 11J weapon, I think 11J is the minimum, between 16 and 20J without the most recommended powers

[@alfonso7851]

Although it is true and I have commented on this in different KZbin threads, it is that these weapons have their limitations, so how everything will depend a lot on the skill of who wields it and their determination. There is nothing worse and more dangerous than being insecure in the face of a risk situation to which we have to respond. It's important where to shoot like you said if you shoot 3 or more rounds at the We must also keep in mind the person who was shot because not all people suffer the same trauma.For example, there are innumerable cases where police officers have shot with electric weapons or defense sprays and many cases have resisted being subdued by non-lethal means. Of what if we can be sure that it is a means with many possibilities to defend oneself against someone who is not armed with a firearm with a knife . As I said before, 16J to 20J is recommended and choose a good ammunition.

[@kevinmakyle8779]

@@alfonso7851 I didn't know it could be modified up to a 20 J.

[@alfonso7851]

@@kevinmakyle8779 Well, I can talk about the UMAREX HDR 50 you will know that there are 7;5 and 11J but they are marketed already modified to more than +20J valve kit is sold to increase power or many stores already sell it modified, what happens is that the more power the less autonomy of the cylinder if with 11J you can shoot 18 rounds with 20J you can only 12 rounds we speak with a stable fps speed do not rush the shots You know that the more you rush the last ones they already lose a lot of fps.

[@alfonso7851]

​@@kevinmakyle8779 I don't know if you have the Mercury torpedo TR 50 o tienes la UMAREX HDR 50 I see that the interior is the same so you could put the same valve for + 20J

Another great video! The comparison between the TRs was perfect, you showed the pros and cons of each gun very clearly.

Well done again my friend. No doubt, you put a lot of time and energy into this. As of now, I just have the Umarex T4E 11joule version, and after watching your comparison's, Ill probably just stick with that because they are so close in most areas. This Mercury Rising company is putting out some really good stuff, so I think theyll be around for awhile. Im looking forward to what they do next. I say all the time, its a great time to be an airgunner because the products are just so good and theres so much to choose from. Glad your ok buddy and thanks again for your work...its appreciated.

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

When you talked about Umarex contracting parts for their HDR 50 to this company, it made me think of something else with Umarex. A bit over 2 years ago, they announced the Umarex Primal at ShotShow. It's a 20 gauge air shotgun they market primarily to shoot their proprietary slugs, although they claim it can shoot nearly anything. Well, they made their proprietary slugs available for order, at a whopping $46 for 10. Nearly $5 per shot. I wouldn't have been surprised if all the preorders were cancelled and they ended up cancelling the Primal. But it's still scheduled for release later this month. Well, how this relates. Their proprietary slugs are hardly proprietary. The slugs are actually produced by a US company. They market that slug design for reloading in a number of gauges for shotguns. If you buy from them directly, the slugs come in a box of 25 for $18.

[@mgnet]

Bought a HDR 50 times ago, had to tweak it a bit, luminescent paint on the sights to make them usable, new barrel for accuracy and slight power enhancement, restriction valve changed to get close to 18-19 joules, and "devastator" as ammunition of choice. It is now "OK" for non lethal defense up to 10 meters, with two full power 6 rounds barrels for 1 CO² cartridge, I store it with a mix of 3 "devastators" and 3 pepper balls in each barrel.

[@rogercave8245]

Another great video! I'd say that the HDR 50 won that one! Also, on gas release I'm sure you know that once the power drops too much to shoot you can pull the trigger a few more times which makes pushing the red button in quite easy. I think that the torpedo revolver loses power because the mag is too long, the round has to travel the length of the mag before entering the barrel so uses more gas to shoot the round thus reducing the launch pressure.

I purchased my T4E-50 three years ago, & am extremely pleased w/ its performance. I don't have it to be a killing weapon. I use mine as a blinding weapon of Gun-Jitsu. Much as I have boxer-pittie rescue dogs that guard my home. I'm not that "I have a firearm" home-defense guy. I do own firearms, but they're not my primary self-defense against would-be criminals. At 10-15' (or less), the T4E is plenty accurate enough to hit the bridge of the nose. Blinding/disorienting the target at least 5 seconds... at which point my dogs have a little somethin' they wanna say about it.

[@tonykaye2523]

If you had used let’s sat, a Laser sight and was able to hit the can straight on you would have had very similar results. The first shot hit hard, but the remaining shots clearly (from what we could see in the video) were glancing shot.

It would be great to have something like that, without the grips, that could be mounted under the magazine tube of a shotgun. It would be ideal for dealing with an intruder who doesn't pose a threat to your life, but you don't want to just run away. But you'd have the option of employing lethal force, if warranted.

Since you don't want to modify, will you diesel your pellets/slugs? Or do you count that as a modification?

[@JayJone5169]

I take that back on the torpedo about it being pathetic in power it is a little weaker than 11j umarex, but its like10 j on lightest while umarex is like 12+ which both are better that 7.5 j which wont even put crack in coconut.

[@arnehusby1420]

I agree with you. My tuned HDR-50 is not a precision gun. I have the barrel and Cylinder and tuning kit from Home Defense 24 in Germany. I have test my Gun with both Laser and Dot Sight. The down side of tuning are that the Gun use a lot of Gas 15-20 shots, and I have to change the Co2 patron. The upsides are better precision and very hard hits. I mold my own Slugs to save some money. Out of the box the HDR-50 is not a high quality Gun as my other Umarex Guns. My personal favorite gun is the Walter CP-88 it is high Quality and high price, but the Walter will last for a long time with metal parts an no Plastic parts.

I want to know the bb calibre. It's only a .50 cal because of what amounts to a thick plastic sabot. Is the bb a .25?

[@anon_y_mousse]

I agree that it could work in a home defense situation. At close range it would penetrate skin and muscle, and as long as your house is small and you're close, then you've got them. I just wouldn't use it for general self defense while out of the house. However, the Mercury Rise does look like a cool gun and I definitely want one.

Towards the end of the video I mention a great channel that can help you with that: “Umarex T4E….” I put the link to his KZbin page in the description of this video. He does incredible stuff on these launchers

[@donaldknottjr.835]

Why can't they make a 24 gram co 2 . Cartridge. ?? Or install co2 rechargeable tube in the pistol grip?? Just saying. Though I like the Mercury..

Tanks for your test umarex win the battle it is more strong 💪

[@moralrelativity1969]

Question... wouldn't it suffice for close encounters? Someone on your porch is still on the outside of your home..

[@f.xavier1842]

Merci pour les quelques mots en français que tu mets dans tes vidéos 👍👍👍

[@AirgunAlley]

Hahahab de rien mon amie! I figured, since Umarex is largely French - to use a French voice :) 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@AirgunAlley]

Muito obrigado my friend!!

[@andrelinoge6810]

Can I please get an explanation for why I am not civilized for carrying/owning firearms?? Just curious, maybe we can discuss this further 🤔

[@AirgunAlley]

I spent most of my life in developing nations documenting extreme poverty, conflict and devastation. I was referring to those countries, where there is basically no rule of law. Nothing to do with gun lovin Merica. Hope this helps

[@douglassinclaire9968]

rune rebel and the t4e channel cannot be found, bad link, but calebs works fine.

[@AirgunAlley]

Thank you so much for this!!! I just fixed it. Really appreciated my friend

[@Randoverse]

To be fair, a gun is better but these have their own advantages as well. Lighter, way less recoil, indoors wont deafen you, easier to obtain and use.

[@AirgunAlley]

Absolutely. And adding that in most countries in the world where people don’t have guns, something like could be your best bet

[@rodrigojose2096]

I didn't find a store that ships to Brazil. If anyone knows, please let me know. It's only available in one store here, and it costs almost €3.00 per unit!

[@NuisancePanda]

Would you review a Grimburg Gavel?¿?¿?

[@AirgunAlley]

Soon I hope!! :)

[@HarshmanHills]

slap a small red dot on that and that thing is epic

[@karyellis681]

How much is the gun I want to buy one

[@j-fb4596]

I like airguns, but i'd rather take a crossbow or bow for home defense

[@trevligodmjuk2721]

HDR 😎👍

[@wc1630]

With that power of ka HDR you do no harm. That's why I took mine to 25, now if the one who receives the impact with steel balls is going to feel it. I took it to more than 35 J but it is a lot and uncomfortable since in order for it to have autonomy I shoot with a 350-gram garraha in place, instead of the 12-gram one.

[@gasslight5498]

I carry outside my home as well as at home. In a self defense or defense of others "outside my home" I'm sure that the legal ramifications of using a firearm would probably be greater than if I am using a (so called) less lethal weapon. I live in TN a constitutional carry state (no permit required) and I did carry my .45 for a while and also my .22LR but now I carry a less lethal loaded with heavy rounds or custom type rounds. I have a USCCA membership but believe a I am safer from our own law enforcement system with the less lethal. By the way I am an excellent shot and practiced. I would always advise sufficient practice.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

What is the most accurate T4E that youve found?

[@AirgunAlley]

Good question my friend! I think the HDR 68 is decent. Surprisingly the HDS 68 I found to be quite accurate from around 30ft (10m). I just aline my eye with the barrel to aim 😂 But now that I’m also shooting PCP, I’m learning what real accuracy means… hehe

[@ThirdEyeLazerClinic]

Hey guys, forgive my ignorance, but how would one connect a red dot sight onto the rails on each, and would a longer barrel with shroud help?

[@AirgunAlley]

Hello! Yes absolutely, a longer barrel would help with speed and, above all, accuracy. And you can attach any standard laser to the rail under the barrel :)

[@ThirdEyeLazerClinic]

@@AirgunAlley I've been in touch work mercury rise, regard UK distribution, I've got lots of projectile ideas, but I have trouble mounting my red dot on b my hdr 50,

Yes but this is an airgun channel

[@FREEDOMNOW33]

@@AirgunAlley Yes but having one on you and a cop sees it . A cop is going to think its a real gun . We know what happens then . People have been shot dead holding the air guns .

[@georgesheptak5657]

What size backpack do you need to carry one of these?

[@AirgunAlley]

I think any medium sized woman’s purse would easily carry these :)

[@AirgunAlley]

Or there are great holsters made for them

Looks like Umarex gets the Thumbs Up for this video, but the Torpedo Rounds still have different Payload Options.

[@AirgunAlley]

Yess!! And some good news just came in directly from Mercury Rise… they will soon be coming out with power tuning kits and barrel extensions… so things could get very interesting :)

[@paintedpreppers-airguns]

bahahaha that intro....awesome

[@NuisancePanda]

Every time one of those Z Rams few off.. I shed a tear 😢 As much as they cost, and the wait.. sorry bro.. seriously 😣😅
