Cold steel makes magnum blow guns , that are . 625 cal , do you see where I’m going with this ? LoL I presume if you were to slightly widen the cones to .68 cal , it would be very impressive for this weapon. You would have to fabricate a metal rod to insert into the cone end of dart , use a candle for heat source heat the rod then carefully put into the cone to barely expand it. If you carefully sand the metal rod , you could get it to perfect specs according to the size of the barrel for a perfect tight fit .I have a few .40 regular blowguns , sometimes I have to use pliers to get out of targets . I have seen videos of the .625 taking out large animals .just another idea for your head , I know you have hundreds already in your head lol . Thank you for your unique contribution to the Airgun world buddy !!!
@@robinchurch1142 not yet brother, but I’m going to very soon. My problem is time. On top of the channel, our business, I also have a 40 hour week job which has been running me all over the country for the last four months. I can’t wait for the day when I can do this full-time :-)
I bought one that was already modifiedthose great with ball bearings Imake a dart just like the ones I made for my homemade blow gun .fast and penatrating my blowgun was about 68 cal.
Thanks for saying "don't tighten" the piercing button too much. Turning it in and out actually weakens the crimped joint Umarex has cheaped out to using, instead of the older generation of threaded and punch riveted air-tube connections. They are cutting corners and there has been a number of injuries resultant of the crimped connection. (Especially if you intend to mod the gun for more Joules!) Thanks for great videos!
What is a lot of fun is drilling holes in 68 caliber ammo and placing nails in them and launching from that set up if you want to be serious about home defense.
Yeah, You can launch a TON of things from these. I have some pretty interesting ideas myself we are going to test :) Thanks for watching and welcome to the family!
I modded mine with valve body restrictor removed and the little brass hat that's in little the valve block and connects the transfer tube. Easily is over 20 ft lbs. I also used 15mmx13mmx300mm aluminum wind chime pipe and taped them to fill the difference at three spots to press fit the new 50 cal barrels in and now I shoot 1/2" steel bearings that are 138 grains at 300-360 fps which is 27-39 ft lbs
That is exactly what I’m going to do on an upcoming video. It really opens up the real potential of this baby. Thanks for watching and welcome to the family!
@@markharlacher6183 I received an email from a guy about three months ago when we were discussing this exact topic. He mentioned that he designed some molds specifically designed to make ammo for this exact weapon. If I can track that guy down again, I will see if I can get a hold of some of these and put them on the channel as well.
I'm waiting on my buddy to send me some empty .410 shotgun shells and I'm going to punch out the old primers and recess the barrels some and see if I can't load up some 3/8" steel bearing buck shot
That gun is sweet lol.... Your mic sounds good but something seem loose or some sort of wire issue, but the good news is that it was not the unit this time lol
I have this shotgun, I modified it on day one. It's a BEAST ! For home defense I use Slugs with pointed tip. Bad to the bone. I have videos on this at 💥Make-N-Shoot 💥
@@AlternateArmsSD I appreciate all the responses you are a gem !! Love the vids keep them coming. Full of knowledge as I am going to be purchasing my first non lethal very soon

@@DoubleOTEN Just remember that you can still get arrested for Assault with a Deadly Weapon if you cause any serious damage to the intruder which is why all the Less than Lethal companies say not to shoot to the head, neck, or spine. But it's up to you if you want to risk needing to spend 50K in legal fees to defend yourself in court against those charges. Here in California, you have a 95% chance of being charged with a crime just for using a less than lethal launcher even in self defense simply because they've been lumped into the same category as Pellet guns and BB guns.
@@vernontyer4421 The 16 should peak around 450 (give or take) ... I am also about to make the mod video for this one! It is FAR too cool to fire so slow out of the box.
its a cool looking gun but it lacks the most intimidatingly thing abought a shotgun I don't think there is a person that when they hear the CHICK-CHICK sound of a pump shotgun behind then that HO SHIT doesn't flash through there mind LOL but I like it much better then the suppositorie one
I brought a HDR, loved it so much I brought another! Brought a HDS, loved it so much I brought two more! These are so much fun. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure man! HDS upgrade video coming soon :)
@@AlternateArmsSD look forward to it. Cheers
This 68 is on my list! It will complete my 3 gun starter collection to learn and see what feels best in my hands. Great video! Love your shirts 😂
Thanks brother! I try to keep it fresh :)
I like this! Much greater potential, especially on reloading and upgrades. Thanks for a great demonstration!
This thing fires anything you put in the barrel too :) Folks have been making their own ammo for quite awhile.

That was awesome! You are very good at these videos in giving us a true and honest test
Thanks man! This is a cool little customer ;)
Would be intersting to see a steel-core Canada Riot Ball shot through one of those, especially after tuning it up to the 20-joules max
Funny you should mention that… :) Stay tuned. Thanks for watching!

Making or finding ammo is a pain, I'm still trying to figure out how to get consistent velocity ammo because it has to be slightly oversized

Great I think if you measure them you need like .512 or .520 something around there but I forget
I'm waiting on my buddy to send me some empty .410 shotgun shells and I'm going to punch out the old primers and recess the barrels some and see if I can't load up some 3/8" steel bearing buck shot
you can put just about any type of ammo of the right caliber in that even arrows and darts too
Yes you can! Some folks have gotten very creative with crating their own ammo as well!
@@AlternateArmsSD i would use that for small to medium game hunting
@@gerardmcquade9102 You would need to upgrade it for more power. I will be posting a video on that modification next week.
Very informative I am hopping along the 16 joules you should text that I heard it’s very lethal pushes 22-30 joules with Canada riot balls
Yes indeed! The upgrade coming soon! Its actually not that difficult and changes the entire appeal! Stay tuned ;)
have you moded the broom stick yet brother !!! this will be interesting !!!!
Oh yes!! Video shot and awaiting edit :)

I’ve actually been working on a couple of 3-D prints for projectiles on this as well :-) stay tuned :-)
What would it do with 6 Shot shells Have a couple of the products very good long lasting my favorite is the hammer 50
I've actually seen those! After the upgrade, I'll get a couple to test! Thanks for watching!
Jon, I have a used 16 joule I just bought, all works well but I was not ready for a very stiff rigger pull of 15-20 lbs. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hmmm It should be that high. Let me revisit one over here.
What’s the best brand pepper balls? I’ve heard the live x police grade ones are bust looking for suggesrions
Pavashot for sure. Use cts discount code. They will take care of you.
@@AlternateArmsSD is the 11 joule HDR too much power for the pepper balls ?
@@JH-te9gd Not at all! I’ve tested their pepperballs up to 24J with no issues.
@@AlternateArmsSD I appreciate all the responses you are a gem !! Love the vids keep them coming. Full of knowledge as I am going to be purchasing my first non lethal very soon
Have you tried .68 cal hdx or hdb shotguns ? 16 rounds less lethal
I have had a HARD time getting them. My Umarex distributor never seems have them in stock but they are on my list for sure!
… You think it wil penetrate the skin shooting someone at close distance like you did the skully ?
Not pre-modified. It would certainly hurt though. After the mod… we shall see :)

Great video but unfortunately there was some hissing/popping noise from time to time maybe coming from the mic.
Yes indeed, I noticed that as well. I didn’t catch until editing. I’ve got to be missing some thing with that microphone. Thanks for watching!
