HD isnt availlable anymore seems like theres 2 option LE and SD
Reaction vids....Yes!
Cool video. Any idea on how reliable this is in this configuration?
It should be Jojo’s themed with the meme sing kanjis but I wouldn’t add a character.
Me And my wife carry the Byrna HD.... Never an issue... But you opened my eyes to The Grimburg Gavle... And I ordered the one with the longer barrel... Possibly 50 joules.... Strictly kinetic ammo... Can't wait... Again thanks and FYI I enjoy your Pod Cast.
I can’t tell if you really want to help people or just get online and tell people that you want to help. I’ve personally attempted to reach out to you through your channel and by email on your website multiple times and you’ve never responded once even to direct contact.
@@BobbyKuul76 I don’t think I’ve received an email but I can tell you that I have been out of town for a couple of weeks with my day job. I’ll be going back through emails and messages tomorrow though so if you will resend one, I will get right back to you.
Maybe some test in wind conditions
Great idea!
Am I correct in my thinking that skully is harder than a regular old say bone skull just wondering cuz if so that sucker is not exactly less lethal at that range anyways
He's printed at 40% infill for this shot. He's not quite as dense as a human skull and the outer layer is considerable thinner. I am working on getting a gel analog for future videos. However, within 3-5 feet, you are doing some major damage.
when and where up in Michigan???......I'm in Ohio
I was up in Grand Rapids and Cadillac. You guys get a whole lot more snow than we do :-)
I like the Pistelle X68 but I like my Umarex hd50 which had restrictor valve removed and shoots a 3 gram aluminum ball straight through a unopened can of green beans which was impressive to me but I like my AEA M-50 pistol best.
They are all awesome launchers!
@AlternateArmsSD I think I'll grab a Pistelle X68 in next couple weeks! What weight in .68 call ball do you recommend?
@ at this point, the best kinetic rounds you can buy are the Grimburg JUL but the smasher rounds are pretty darn good too. :-) if you pick up that pistelle, use that code in the description and you will save yourself some money.
@AlternateArmsSD I'll save money?! What code? Oh. Got it. Thanks! So. Out of all less lethal pistols do you think the Pistelle is best per power?
@ out of the box, the Pistelle .68 and the Grimburg Gavle are going to be the most powerful you can buy without modification.
Hi , you say G.Joels are bore matched , so does that mean they will not have blow by in the stock T4-E HDR .68 Barrels . Also how much is the price for how many and shipping to 43821 Ohio .
@@joehenry447 the JULs fire absolutely amazing through the HDR 68 barrels. You’d have to go to Grimburg‘s website to check on pricing and availability as I don’t actually carry them myself.
🐸👍🏼definitely would hear your opinion/thoughts and reactions to other similar videos
Thanks man!
Merci !
My pleasure! Thanks so much!
Wow, one of the best presentation I’ve seen!! Thanks a lot! With your knowledge talking about the internals, do you think the quality of Umarex match Byrna’s? Also after the the notification is it more powerful than the Byrna LE ?? Thanks
My pleasure, my friend. Actually, yes. When they are modified properly, they will rival the Byrna LE for power.
So my new kit, LTL Alpha secondary and HDX68 40j with Barrel extension. I only run Riot balls. The Ltl has a dart and 6 rounds. Will it work?
It should work as long as the first round is not in the detent when you fire it. I haven’t tried it with a dart but I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t.
Mine HDP-50 is black and come with 13 Joules from the shop. I dont think i will mod it. It is written TP-50 Gen 2 on the"slide".
Yep, I know it well :) It’s a great launcher.
Great video man. Good info.
My pleasure Brother!
Great video Jon
Thanks man!
When will u be able to tell us who and what is coming out.i hope it something from Byrna.
Im hoping shotshow.. you have no idea how hard it is to keep secrets from you guys.
Congrats on 15k ❤.love what u do keep it up
Thanks man!
Great presentation and superb explanations as always, Jon! Congrats on your 15K… keep it up and soon they’ll be 150K!
@@AirgunAlley Thanks Brother! Gotta catch you first :)
Yeah well at five feet your going to do more damage regardless maybe when they have them a little bit larger in diameter I might buy some like I need them I must already have close to 2000 rounds now 🤣🤣
@@smokingunclefrank6037 Heh, yeah it had to be at that range for a proper comparison to the shots I had fired before :) You can never have enough ammo :)
It would have been more informative if you chronographed the numbers, just going by the info you gave I'm guessing those rounds would be comparable to the 9.9 gram riot balls, so maybe mid to high 300s in fps and probably 48 joules down to 40 on last shot with X-68?
@@theFormidable1 that’s exactly where they would be. The last video Chronoed the JUL rounds and I suspect these are right on par.
@AlternateArmsSD thanks for the link, I visited the site and it seems they really did their homework on these rounds. I've been advocating the importance of velocity to weight ratio to obtain maximum kinetic energy and the smashers designer's seems to get it and developed the ideal .68 cal less lethal ball round. Can you please do a future video with chrono numbers using the pistelle and the 11 in extended barrel? I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on these smasher rounds.
@ I sure can. I need to snag one of the 11in barrels.
Hello I need to ask, which of the pepper balls is stronger, can you use byrna Max round on the sabre for example assuming byrna powder is stronger. I like the byrna LE but seems to expensive for the use. On the other hand I don't want to piss off an attacker if this thing doesn't work.
@@brianwhite3053 you can use the byrna max rounds, as well as the Duke projectiles, Salt Supply/maces rounds, and the PavaShot rounds.
I just saw a video about the PCP pocket pistol. Definitely a cool concept, but outside of the pepper spray canisters I don't see much practical application. Congratulations on 15k Jon! I can't wait for the Shotshow videos.
Yeah, that’s kind of what I was thinking too when I saw them. I don’t know if they have a whole lot of practical use and they require a great deal of prep. However, you know me, if it exists, we’ll try to get it on the show :-)
Agreed! However, they are definitely a cool concept, especially, to me, the 4,000 PSI cartridge fill! That's very impressive for a cartridge that small. The simulated pepper gel / paint demo that Airgun Alley demonstrated, among a number of less effective, IMO, types of ammo he tested, could be real "shock and awe" to a bad guy or a guy having a bad day!
Using .68 launcher, how fast can you send a pepperball so it does not rupture until it hits the target?
I’ve fired high quality pepper rounds at 40J without an issue.
Where can I view your store? If I want to shoot pepperballs in .68 cal, which launchers should I choose from? Are some launchers just too powerful for pepperballs? Thank you!
I just ordered me 100 smashers , he also has a two pack sample on His website for free all you have to do is put the two pack of balls in your cart and check out with your address
Great video, thanks! 👍🏿
Thanks man!
Congratulations on the 15,000 subscribers brother. You earned every single one of them. Keep up the great work. Tell me do you think those smasher rounds will work in the Gavle with the magnetic D10s ? Obviously they're not ready due to the size but just something I was thinking about while you were going over it.
Thanks man! You know, I think they actually will. When I get some 16 g cartridges and I’m going to revisit these with the gavel just for fun.
what size are the springs?
Shoot me an email man. Jonreynoldscts@gmail.com
Looking forward to the shot show footage. Don’t disappoint 😁.
Hehe if you have any questions you want to ask, just let me know.
@@AlternateArmsSDi do have my own pipeline 😉
These look like a great addition to all of our ammo counts. I'll be interesting to see if they take your advice. Can't wait to see your coverage of ShotShow this year and see all the new tempting to launchers. I still think the Bazooka you found two years ago could be the ultimate home defense launcher 😅
You know, those guys never responded to me. That was a company called para ops and they have been at both shot shows for the last two years. I’ll definitely go by their booth again.
@@AlternateArmsSD Yeah it's funny that there is any a single review for their Pro 1 or Pro 5 launchers on TH-cam or the Internet that I could find which seems odd as you'd think someone would have reviewed one or the other by now. Hopefully they'll be there so you can get more information as their cartridge system seemed interesting.
Congrats on the 15k!
Thanks Brother!
Yeah, I think you inflicted a few lethal hits there.
Yeah, close range + heavy rounds + high velocity equals bad news for attacker.
I bought my first non lethal because of your videos a S2 salt supply I'm also grabbing grimburg and pastel thanks buddy keep up the good work
Thanks man! I’m glad I could help. :)
You said that you shot the right side of the skull with a burner SD and the left side with the Grinberg ha ha ha ha ha ha… meant to say pistell 68
@@joshuadennis8744 yeah :-) hence the wording over the top :-)
GrimBurg announced their new Carry launcher last night. They have 34 units available for shipping mid February selling out fast $700 after tax ….And V3 juls are magnetized for the new modern detente in 2025 launchers.
Yeah, they had told me about that a couple months ago and I’m hoping we will see one at SHOT Show. I’ll definitely try to get one in for the show.
As nice as the Carry is, it's not the Solstice. I don't love the twist to puncture for a carry option. Which sucks because the Grimburg is an amazing launcher otherwise
I'm new to the launcher game. You have the content, the humor AND Skully! 😂 Question: What air compressor would you recommend for filling the tanks for Valken 17? I'm on a budget!! 😂

I am too man. No such thing as bad competition. It keeps folks on their toes and keep companies improving.
Just wondering why you didn’t clock them.
There was no need. I have a TON of FPS videos on the Pistelle (and he gavle). This is in the exact same configuration that the last video was shot in. Take a look at the last video for the FPS readings. I suspect this will be VERY VERY close to the same.
