This gun feels amazing to shoot.
Amazing ? Umarex makes only Toys..........
@@__FRONTEX__ But they are good toys.
Can ask about the red dot? Where and what brand??...😎😎🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
@@chrisprice4658 It's this one, only a cheapie but it works well. www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07CNWN54N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@__FRONTEX__ GUN?
The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.
Just when i was happy and satisfied with my HDR 50 revolver and HDS, this video came along. Thanks Mad Dog, thanks a lot.
Sorry, it just had to be done.
@@Maddogairguns I need one now, and it’s all your fault.
Happy to oblige.
haha you can't get enough
sell stuff, and get it.
Its like watching Nick Frost teach us all a about self defense 👍
This is why I waited before I blew my money on one of the HD series guns. This thing is NICE!
Just bought the 40J, build quality is second to none. Absolute love it.
Where did u git one
@@tysonnutt9457 in Belgium at a local weapon store, but they are rare to find. The demand is way higher then the supply
Do they take over seas orders?
Please tell us, does it give 40J really? Someone claimed that ”it only gives r of extra joules because it uses 88g capsule” compared to 16J version. That would be strange really because Umarex tells us it’s 40J.
@@pastori70 I do not own a chrono but shot both and mine seems to deliver a way better punch. Shot it yesterday at 15 to 30 meters and wow, throughout the thick cardboard target and straight through 14 cm of insulation foam against the wood backstop
Great video, I have just ordered one on pre-order for January. Got the 16 joules version .. excited much 😆 😄 ☺️
Same can’t wait 😜
@@PaulJohnson-lv7jt everything I have been waiting for and more!
Why the 16j mate? Can we not have the 40j without a license?
Hey maddog it's me Jimmy from yesterday about your shotgun there and you didn't shoot the pumpkin I just subscribed to your channel just so you know I love you dude you're awesome you don't Hotshot none of that you just shoot do some more with it the shotgun the HDX HDX HDX I love it I have to wait mine's not here yet not till they said January
Hopefully getting it outside after Christmas, and we can destroy some stuff.
You got a smile out of me there when you said you don't do unboxing videos 😄👍
Unavailable in the states but now I need it. Thanks!
Just dandy
losers...
Looks great. Would love to see what damage a 16 jules could do to a pumpkin👍
Mine arrives tomorrow!
Put your balls (steady) lol, put your ball in a cloth and spray a little pledge polish on them ( other makes of polish are avalible) gently buff them. See the difference, helps with loading too.
Might give that a go.
LOVE THE LOADING ACTION. JOHN WICK HAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !! LOL
40J with aluminum projectiles will do some very serious damage, even death. People need to realize they're not indestructible. Your bones can't handle that type of power no matter how big or tough you think you are. Even at 11 J, the HDR50 with devastators or Z-Rams can be deadly. These are some very serious weapons with PCP power.
When the word TWAT came out😂😂😂
Thanks, you noticed.
You should squiirt a wee bit of thst silicone spray on the rubber balls the bore friction Is lots without doing so trust me makes atleast a 20fps increase
Nice review. You could use nitrogen cartridges instead of CO2 cartridges which would give you more consistent power in the colder temperatures. You may already be aware of that. I haven't seen the high-powered version in the United States yet but the lower powered versions are coming in presently. In the US the high-powered version is supposed to be orange and black instead of all black like the lower powered versions. I'm not fond of that color combination when you're using something like this in self-defense. I've seen them all black in all versions in other countries for sale. Thank you for your testing and I hope you stay healthy.
There is a company here in California that sells the 40 joules model, or they will be as they are back logged with pre orders for the 40 joules one.
@@Joreel I'm going to guess and say novice defense. But it's supposed to be orange and black if it's the high-powered version
It's a great thing . I love my one
Great concept but a shame that they made it CO2 instead of PCP
It's hard to keep a pcp constantly loaded with air pressure. At some point, it will lose it. But indeed, it would be awesome
Reload time is the same as loading an old musket
I bet they charged tons of money for that thing and it takes forever to load
More money than sense.
Quote "if I can get this one in I will leave it at that"
Wow
Good video. They should of done it with a 88g CO2. That little thing that fits in the bottom of the grip handle I can see that getting lost it seems a lot do do to load it . I’m not sure if I would buy one I do have the HDR50 and HDR69 both turned but fixed to my bedroom wall. Are give it a wile in case things go wrong I never buy a new model I all ways give it a year.
How on Earth do you get that loading-assist ramp in place? Can the gun be loaded without it? Because I can't get mine in place no matter what I try. It's all scratched up already from me trying to jam it in. I feel like I'm missing something, but no idea what it could be. Even the guy in the store where I bought it didn't know how to put it in...
Its in the manual, although it might not be too clear from the pictures. I've never had a problem. www.umarex.de/fileadmin/uploads/media/manuals/2.3010.pdf
I want one!
I "pre-ordered" this thing in 2 shops now. No chance to get here in germany at the moment....
Fell asleep waiting for him to load up
Have you tried loading these, not that straight forward.
Hey those glasses are sweet brother, You mind me asking where you got them from?
Got them online from here, just emailed my prescription and they sent them out to me: www.glasses2you.co.uk/
I was pondering, Dont crank the velocity tooo high for the pepperballs as the may break in the barrel. I would be tooo scared to use fragile prpperballs in this shotgun. I would rather use solids and then adjust the velocity to max with a hpa(pcp) tank. Thanks for the video. 7 j version use pepperballs, 16 Joule ...solids. Glad you lubed the internals, o rings and bolt will last longer. Enjoy
You can safely fire Pepperballs at 16 Joules.
They need to make a PCP version.🤠🇺🇸
I think you need a massive box of goodies from Umarex as so far from watching your channel I have bought 3 of them (TR50, HDR 50 and HDR 68) now there’s this one and I’m going to have to buy that too. I think I need therapy and take up knitting instead 😂
It would be very nice to receive some for testing, from Umarex, but it's not likely to happen.
@@Maddogairguns Well I hope they see sense. I had never even heard of Umarex until I watched you channel, and I now have three of their products and soon to be a fourth, all because of your reviews. 👌🏼🙌🏻
Awesome. This will be my xmas pressie to myself :) Are the balls as tricky to load as they seem? Would it be able to take any other ammo or does the loading mechanism mean its balls only?
Only balls, I think. Loading might get easier, it was my first time trying and I am a bit ham fisted.
You can single load slugs for HDS 68 directly into barrel
You can load without the tool but be aware of the edges of the rifle, they are quite sharp and will probably harm your fingers
@@PatOutdoorify Yes I thought that, was bit fiddly to start with. But it's a new gun and new to me, it should get easier.
@@craighamilton9729 That's interesting, might have to try that.
What Happened To The Pumpkin 🤔
Thanks for the video.... will you tune this to 40 Joule? and if so, when is the instructional video coming out?
Video will be released tomorrow, managed 30joules with 6.94g balls.
@@Maddogairguns how do you make the 7j/16j give out more power? Thx
@@PsychoSeal1 check out my latest video.
Great toy! I've got the HDS & HDR, the wife will be 'Loading my balls in there' if one turns up in the post, so I'll skip it for a while :)
Lol me too 😄😬🤭
Just feel its an design flaw on how the ball are being loaded and with that there is already an ball in chamber. Couple of reasons, you can can store the gun without piercing the CO2 and you forget about it. This thing is also ment as home defense rifle but to scare someone by cooking that is not working, you need to shoot first. With a ball in the chamber, not pierced CO2 you can "i'm expecting" pull try trigger and now there will be a jam if you cock the rifle again. Double load. Don't know, it just seems wrong. Don't understand really why Umarex decided to use the "ejection" port to load the rifle.
I agree with your concerns for loading with an open chamber. It makes it more difficult to top off in a fighting context especially looking at how shotguns for example would be run "shoot two load two" but that aside I must say if you rely on the noise of a tool to "scare" someone instead of using verbal commands then I strongly advise you reconsider your priorities. The tool is only for when communications don't work as desired. If at all possible I cannot recommend training enough. One of the greatest marks of training is never having to use it. Take care, stay safe.
Forget the drawing pins Dog. Im thinking of my beloved HDR50. Blood bombs still good though. lol
I need this now videos are fine oh God
😂👍
Great video! 👍 keep up the good work
Hey you and welcome, my name is Mike and in this old video we'll shoot some pumpkin.
So.. if you lose that loading clip from the grip storage area, you can’t load it?
You will still be able to load it, clip just makes it a bit easier.
Hey mad dog cool video, I'll be subscribers once I've wrote this. Just wondering what hat that is your wearing?
Yeaa I love my hats 😄
Just had a look inside the hat, it says it's made by 'King Ice'. Think I got it from Amazon, it's just a Peaky Blinders style hat.
Did you get the 7.5j version for the more efficient 40j plus upgrade kit? Definitely want one of these, but can’t get them anywhere. 👍
The tuning video will be in collaboration with Home-defence24, and speaking with them, he advised to go for the 7.5 joule version. All three versions are readily available here in France.
@@Maddogairguns does that make it illegal in the UK? where do you buy the tuning kit from? thanks
@@derekporter66 In the UK, due to the length of this gun, you can have the 16joule version as it is classed as a rifle (legal limit being 12 ft lbs). 16 joules is about 11.80ft lbs, so modifying it would take you over the legal limit for the UK.
Strangly the guy from home defense24 tolg me that installing the power kit in my 40j would not get me far over 40j 🙃. Anybody any experience with that so far?
@@PatOutdoorify some people have got 80 plus with 3000psi air tanks.
Just did the pre-order for this gun so I think January
hi😀great gun👍 but why the 7.5J version and not 16J😢?
Going to tune it, powerkit68 arrived this morning. See what gains I can achieve.
@@Maddogairguns ok👍
Was the 16J version more expensive in France? 7,5 / 16 and 40 same price here. Bought the 40J for effective home defense and gun Store owner is expecting a ban on the 40J without a license in the near future
@@PatOutdoorify All three versions are the same price here in France, we need a cat c license to purchase the 40 joule. Going to be tuning the 7.5joule version in upcoming videos, a collaboration with Homedefence-24.
Love your videos man I've seen them all, keep up the good work and thank you for doing it .
Ps. You kinda look a bit like Ricky Gervais 😊
Well I’ve gone from Nick Frost to Ricky Gervais. The wife has just said she agrees with the latter.
Banging some great content out recently! 👍🏻
Hi, how can you tell difference between 7 j and 16 j .nothing stamped on the gun..Ty.
only the 7.5 joule version has an F stamped on it, so if you can't find that it'll be the 16.
Would you recommend this over the sawn off Umarex shotgun? Also could you advise on a chronograph? Everyone I find is for BB's only I wanted one for airguns and archery as well as paintball markers.
Great video by the way
I have the LMBR R2A, you can get an R2H which I think covers archery as well. As for the guns, the HDS Sawn off is short, so fairly easy to maneuver. However the HDX has 16 shots in the mag and depending where you are in the world, can be more powerful than the sawn off.
hi mad dog i just got mine HDX 68 last week from amazon what do i need to increase the power i also have the 68 revolver and the HDR 50 revolver what do i need to replce to increase their power
A lot depends on what version you have, my HDX68 was the 7.5 joule version, so I fitted the powerkit and removed the valve block, now gets about 38-40 joules. My HDR68 started as a 16 joule version but was shooting 27-30 joules right out of the box (just fitted a tuning barrel to fit some ammo better) My HDR50 started as an 11joule version, I removed the valve block to start (got it up to about 15-16joules) then did the powerkit, tuning barrel and drilled the restrictor disc to 1.5mm, that now makes 25-30 joules depending on ammo used. For the 7.5 joule hdr50 you will need the disc that is in the powerkit, before you remove the valve block, or your co2 will be gone in a couple of shots.
were did you get the scope?
What sight did you fit, make or model a link if you don't mind please
I got it from Amazon France, here is the link:www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07CNWN54N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Do you think is better the HDX68 or the HDR50 for self defence?thank you!!!
Two very different guns, hdr easy to conceal, HDX potentially more power.
I dig it
Maybe they put the 16J model in the box on accident
Idk understand what is the purpose of this thing? Can't hunt with it and you aren't gonna stop anyone with it
It’s more like a toy for people don’t have chances to have a real gun.
Pepperballs deter most assailants.
@@J0HN_3_16 pepperball are illegal in the UK though arnt they?
False. My TR50 sent an intruder to the ER.
How many feet per second?
New ones in uk are 16 so I wonder if they are higher also
I want one
Same dot I use for airsoft!
So. I should be one then yea?😊
I think you need to name it the Twatanator.
Some CO2 gun manufacturers recommend nitrogen instead of CO2 for cold weather.
That’s nice 🤙
Mine came with iron sights but want a nice red dot and a decent torch although I do have a surefire touch somewhere. Any recommendations for the UK.
I just got mine from Amazon, so basically some cheap generic tat. I have got a red dot from Homedefence-24, which seems to be ok.
If you can get 13 jls from 7 surly the 16 will get you 20?
Can this be converted to take a air bottle like some of the other models in this range. Thanks
What's people's opinions would this force really stop someone breaking into your house?
Confronting a burglar unarmed will cause most to flee. The sight of what appears to be a 12 gauge shotgun will cause the majority of more violent burglars to leave. If you are willing to fire pepper balls inside your home you should be able to drive even the most determined violent intruders from your home but you will need to vacate as well. I wouldn't want to get into a firefight with a criminal carrying a firearm.
What's the deal with the Chrono results then? This would be a major issue in the UK. 7.5 would be legal. Over that your risking a firearms charge I believe.
16joule version is legal in the UK, due to the length of it. They class it as a rifle so you can have 12ft lb and not just 6ft lb. Yes Chrono results were a bit odd, shooting it indoors, in the warm the results settled down a bit.
Funny how you say, now you can load your balls in. I think it would would certainly hurt. By the way, nice gun.
Where can I buy one? I can’t find it anywhere.
I can’t find it listed anywhere, not even on Umerex’s website. :( is it not available stateside?
Sorry, not sure if it’s available in the US.
Hey, from the U.S. can only get the 30 joule and it's on back order.
oooowowowo cool dude my xmas to get for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, will ask wify to get it for me. great vid MDA
is this like a uk special because i cant find anyone selling this in america , maybe im just not looking hard enough lol
So glad i can just buy a real shotgun.
Why not get a Air Shotgun tho?
Me too.... Im in uk 🤔🤔
Nice! Can u also remove the valve here?
Yes, filming that video right now.
Talk about a misleading title. I thought this was going to be a video about an actual shotgun...
Your fault for assuming then isn't it.
@@lolzlolz69 no. Because words have meaning.
I want this for shooting pooping birds in our factory, are there actual shotgun style bird shot for this? 12 - 15 meters range?
No birdshot type cartridges for this one, that I know of.
Use a speaker with annoying sound or buy hawks to keep other birds away.
I want one of these how much are they
€499 when I got mine, might be a bit cheaper now.
What versión is this 7'5j ,16j or 40j??? (for usa)
7.5.
3:08 "You can load your balls in there" I will not reccommend that. Othervice good video sir.
Might be a bit uncomfortable.
Can you imagine applying for an airgun loicense? Sad.
It sucks but here in the UK you are far less to get shot at because of strict firearms laws so having something like the hdx or hdr gives you a massive advantage . Either way I am a firm believer in 2a and believe the UK needs to adopt the u.s constitution .
Can you imagine not being safe at school
You'll still get shot by criminals with guns, but also being stabbed with knives, or chopped with machetes being way more common, with no way to defend yourself. I'll take the 2A any day over that.
I wish the US had stricter laws
@@ayeeffkay move to North Korea, they're really strict there, you'll love it. Off to the gulag with you then.
Yo are bows legal in Britain?
I think so, I'm in France and they are here.
Hello Sir, is this a reupload?
Then this is a recomment.
Thanks for your good videos!
Yes, just re uploaded it, TH-cam de-monetised the first one as I mentioned some things in it that I am planning to do with the gun and they must have picked up on it.
@@Maddogairguns Home-Defence-24! Get it done!! 👍👍
@@Maddogairguns that's weird. I heard nothing offending.
But anyway, I am looking forward to see what you are going to do with the toy. I got mine today, but as I live in Germany there is not much I am allowed to change on my own toys.
@@tonyross4365 Powerkit68 turned up this morning, hopefully new video coming soon.
@@4q2 I mentioned tuning for more power, that's all I can think. Most of my videos can't get monetised, so it's nice when they do.
Hi mate, what made you go for the 7.5 ?. Did Florian/Rune give you heads up about a product on the way ?. Nicely nicely, I need one NOW.
Florian said 'go for the 7.5joule version'. So I did, just fitted the powerkit68, and all I can say is wow. Just editing the video now.
@@Maddogairguns Thanks for reply Dog. All Giddy with anticipation.. So now I think my marker balls, sucked out (Ooooo) with a syringe then refilled with theatrical blood, will, i think, make an assailant fall over, look, have a think, and cry for Mummy. In a fictional situation. Drawing pins stuck in the back end of the balls may help.
where did you order yours sir.

Affaire à suivre 🤘🏼
Is this gun legal to buy, own and use, in the UK? I have no certificate of any kind! I can't find anybody who knows the answer to this question!
Yes, in the UK you can have the 16 joule version, due to its length it comes under air rifle regulations and 16 joules is just under the 12ft lb legal limit.
@@Maddogairguns You could not have given me better news than that! Thanks, a dozen! 😃
How do you know which way round to push the balls in?
😂👍
😂👍
looks nice i gave the side by side
Yes, I do too.
Is this available in the uk
Yes. Looks like most places are out of stock, but have pre order on their sites.
Still Loading…..
Where can I get one in the US 🇺🇸 I cannot find them
Sorry, I can't help with that.
I live in Kentucky and called Umarex USA and was told they are still working on the power rating for the states but had a reply back on another site that the HDX68 is on ebay in the 16jule version and possibly the 30jule
What happened to the pumpkin ?
The pumpkin, lives to fight another day. It got too cold, so I'll shoot it when I modify the gun.
I just dont see the point in it? The power is pretty low, you get no benefits of an actual shotgun. You're better off with something like the M17, that doesnt require pumping, and can be tuned to hot much hotter even from stock.
I’ve got a regular 30joules from this gun now, however an M17 would be nice.
Inconsistent power = poor accuracy. Why bother? Looks like a recipe for frustration and disappointment. G.
I've since tuned it to 30 joules, now it's pretty good.
You didn't shoot the pumpkin yet did you
No, it got too cold in this video, I didn't shoot the pumpkin in the next video either. But I have it sat here ready for some outdoor shooting.
Bullseye!
Now only of it was real
fake it til you make it...nice
Shame it’s co2 looks badass thou
Yes, bit of a downside, but it is still awesome.
the 40 j comes with a 88 gram co2.
