- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Today we test these Seneca, big bore .50 caliber pellets in the Umarex HDR 50/ TR50. Will they work?? This video has answers!
We also look at some excellent homemade 68 cal slugs, shot with the HDR 68 (30 joules!) with some nice slow-motions.

Dude, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I've been wanting to buy the HDR50 "Homewrecker" that's been modded to shoot with muzzle energy of 20 joules for a home defense option with greater deterrent potential than that of my Umarex Glock 17 (.17 pellets @ 350fps) or my Walther PPQ T4E (43 cal rubber/pepper/metal balls @ 410fps), but wanted to be sure I could fire conical rounds from her. Obviously .17 cal shaped pellets can press the off button on a coyote and similarly sized animals with accurate shot placement, but a thick jacket is enough to counteract any potential lethality even at close range. Which leaves the Aluminum 43 cal round ball ammunition I'm currently using with my Walther T4E which _certainly_ hurts and will absolutely penetrate skin, take out teeth, put out an eye, and would overall be less than ideal to be shot with anywhere at
Hey man! Thank you for all the info you provided. Your knowledge on the matter by far exceeds mine, but I’m more than happy to help!
Black powder is not a firearm
@@Suckmyjagon I'm well aware
Cool video, subbed. As much as I love actual firearms, I have a deep love for airguns and the advances in the last 20 years have been incredible!
Thanks a lot my friend! I’m a total newbie, but indeed looks like I started at the right time!
What is the best thing for dieseling with it
Me to I love firearms which I had plenty in the Stancia ,or Ranch in Argentina which you must have it in every room and a binocular because it was a large field .Carabine is my fav
Instead of using a masonry bit, (for drilling holes in concrete), I think a high-speed steel drill bit would have made your holes much more accurate,
for higher muzzle velocity
Absolutely! That was totally my bad 🙌🏼
@@AirgunAlley I’d go forestner bit and a dill press
@@AirgunAlley some kind of a jig and press setup would give you way more accurate aligned holes as well, vs free-handing it. The best part was at the very end though - your kid is adorable! I have a little one who is just a bit younger.
Thanks to you and your postings, I've now spent 3 months of social security payments on air guns, ammo, etc. I need help.🤪🤪🤪
Hahahaha I’m so sorry!! I know exactly what you mean! I’m just paying it forward. Others got me addicted, so now I get others addicted hahaha! But make sure you keep some of the SS$ for groceries hahaha
Use the "straight through" drilled cylinder and smear each chamber with bees-wax before loading , that should help in keeping the slugs in the cylinder .
Nice! Thanks for the tip
Yah might want to be careful with the bees wax,… I made various projectiles using paraffin wax, as a sabot, or bonding medium. When the wax happened to be warm enough, to be tacky,… it resulted in quite spectacular dieseling. A power modded HDR 50 is loud enough on its own, but when it diesels, it’s enough to make your ears ring, and maybe draw unwanted attention. That being said, I’m not saying, I’ve never packed a little petroleum jelly, behind a 50 cal steel bb, and risked it blowing up in my hands and face.
The first thing I ever shot out of my HDR 50 was a lead ball bearing, for like black powder. Best, most affordable ammo I’ve found for the HDR 50 is 50,cal steel ball bearing.
That's a clever and brilliant idea!
Ebay. Demo ammo
@@chrish3274 your welcome
just had a thought , either get LEE reloading to make a sizing die fir you , or get them to make you a custom mold to make your own pellets, bullets ? ANYWAYS !!!!! GREAT SHOW REGAURDLESS MY BROTHER AS ALWAYS !!!! LOL
l really like the custom made cylinder idea! That would be the best option I think…. Thank you my mam
Hmm... a little cheat/hack to keep pellets in place: use some sticky paper labels over the face of the magazine, it should hold the pellets in place and would be blown apart by the shot, either that, or have two temporary THIN plates that you use to hold the shot in place while installing the magazine, and remove them when its installed
Good tips! Thanks a lot Gaisa!
Thanks for the video. Your reviews are great. I was going to order the pellets until you said “drill” that stopped me. Can’t wait until next week.
Thank you so much Vernon! Glad this video was helpful - I’m not much of the drilling type either hahaha! See you next week my friend
I'M THINKING ABOUT MAYBE TRYING WITH SOME "STERNO"CAMP FUEL...
I ve tried .493/12,52mm, 11,9gram muzzleloader roundballs and it works quite good with my HDR50 (removed valveblock, shorter valvepin etc).
Nice! Thanks. Will look into them
Awesome video 👍. When I drilled mine out I only took a little bit out so most of the pellets sit perfectly, and so far I haven't had any cycling problems. Thanks for making this video sir
Thanks Mister Head! I tried to do my best in following your instructions. As you see I’m not the best craftsman - but for those who are, this is surely a great revelation! (I’m also particularly unlucky with this stuff. The jamming of my gun is probably just a result of that). Anyway thanks again, I hope to not have disappointed…
@@AirgunAlley I just uploaded my first videos to show what I did to make them work. I haven't had a single jam yet🤞. I really hope your TR50 is okay sir.
Bush's Homestyle are my favorite.
Sorry for the waste then 😂
You're my favorite #1, 2 & 3 Air gun 🔫 content. Thank you so much. Ohh please show more piranha pellet Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Coconut and metal tray shooting from the most powerful airguns please.
From Dr. G Maryland
Well, Dr G Maryland, how could I ever thank you enough for such kindness and support! Truly thank you my man! Incredibly appreciated 🙏🏽🙌🏼
1) Use a 1/2" hand reamer on the cylinder (by hand) not a drill bit. Hand reamers have a tapered section which can be used to create a tight bore at the end. 2) use pure lead round ball. They are the same weight, cheaper, more available, and they don't have a useless hollowpoint that isn't going to open up.
Thanks a lot for the input my friend!
Use super glue or epoxy to make small dots at the end of the cylinders you drilled out all the way . 4 per hole should be able to stop the pellets from falling through
Thanks man! Good idea
Sunday video. 👍 It seems to me that the projectiles of the HDR 50 still need a small adaptation work. 🤔
But, when they impact the target, the damage is impressive. 😱
I note that there is a significant consumption of coconut in Airgun Alley Miami. 🤣
Hahaha yes the #SaveTheCoconuts group already contacted me, they are very angry 🤷🏻♂️
Merci beaucoup my friend!! 🙏🏽
Great video dude 👍...I still think pvc nylon balls hit harder than those pellets. Hey I see you used some sylicon oil! Keep testing out all this cool ammo bro!
Haha thanks man! Yes after our last conversation I thought I’d show some silicon oil action ;) I still should have some pvc/steel riot balls left… will have a check
Thanks, I'll keep my 38
NOW THIS JUST IN !!!!!! instead of using the LEE molds with pure lead , use hot gun glue ,pop em out then insert a steel or lead ball in cavity , spike , bunch of bb's , etc.
Booom! Another good idea :)
Bro try using them in the torpedo 🙏. And no mods required… hopefully. I would love to see that
Alright mate .your getting a nice collection of guns now proper jealous 😂.can't Waite to see the rossco have been looking at that myself no lie is it all metal . Keep up the good work
Thanks mate! Let’s see what this Roscoe can do… next week! 🙌🏼
Good video.time fir a new 50 its amazing diffrence in yours.anyway next try 88 gram co2 hookup.and hp set up.i like 88co2 best.power amazing .68 and 50 it can go on both.mcs look for hook up.
Thank you Joe! Yes I haven’t approached the “bigger tank” world yet. I’ll def try this once I do, my friend. Thanks for your great input as always!
Seconda parte spettacolare!! l'hdr68 si conferma un bel cannone, scoppiare da parte a parte un sacco di farina non è cosa da poco! Come sempre buona parte di quel munizionamento qui in italia è irreperibile, cosa che per ora mi frena dall'acquisto!
Hai visto che roba quel sacco di farina! E scemo che mi sono dimenticato di sparare al cocco 🤦🏻♂️Cmq dammi due settimane che ti sparo un bel video con prodotti Made in Italy, by nientepocodimenoche….Cododo! 🙌🏼
Nell’attendere nuovi tuoi video di avventure tra monti e paradisi, ti auguro un’ottima serata!
@@AirgunAlley ho provato con la 7,5j e le palle di gomma ma la tanica non la rompe... Ho del materiale da montare ma appena riesco ad uscire a girare ti dedico una intro 😂😂👌👌
I KNOW, I used a concrete drill bit. I had it in the house, didn’t realize it was a mason drill bit. I know nothing about drill bits. Hope you got the idea regardless of the drill bit I used 😊
Great video as always. Try some grease on those metal slugs. Bet they work better then 😉. Sir Limpalot makes some very nice slugs😃👍. I tryed the Rosco revolver, but its very low powered. Use lightweight rubberball in it for best performance. Greetings from your friend in Norway 😃👍
Maestro!! Thank you 🙏🏽 yes grease would’ve been good to keep them in place! I was honored to shoot Sir Limpalot’s creations, really good slugs! I saw that you tried the Roscoe a while back. I wonder what this high power valve will do… we’ll see!
Thank you again my friend! Greetings from NASA where it’s 5am and waiting for the Lunar Rocket to go up 🚀
@@AirgunAlley Thanks my friend. Iam looking forward to your exelent videos. Greetings from Norway 😃
They are BAD ASS
Those slugs are awesome. And that bean can looked happy after you shot him. That Roscoe looks awesome. Might look into one later. Look forward to that video.
For some fun, take the powder out of cap gun rounds, fill the hollow point, add a couple drops of water and let dry
Film the results
Hahaha sounds like a very interesting experiment! 🙌🏼
@@AirgunAlley I'd love to see you try lol for extra fun, take a jewelry saw and cut an x into the tips, like a hollowpoint with the notches
Abbisogno di due cose ora, quei pellets e soprattutto il cappello che usi nella intro!!
Hahaha! La prossima volta che passo per Bandera, Texas ti prendo un cappello 🤠
Can't wait for the Z Ram 50 to be available .
🙌🏼
@@AirgunAlley u should look into first strike FSC 68.cal.
And walla we have a new chronograph 😂 your funny dude! Enjoying the content man
😂 thanks a lot my friend!
I'm not an airgun shooter I stick to the real deal. I do think that this airgun is kinda cool. Using those lead pellets is an interesting idea. But for the price of them if it was me I'd pass. $25 for a box of 50 is expensive. I'm buying a 50 round box of 9mm for $15 or less. What could be an option is to cast your own pellets. I shoot black powder and I cast my own round ball. There are plenty of moulds available. Surely a few of them would work and it will be cheaper too.
Thank you Richard, good input!
It would be interesting to see how a 50 cal round ball would perform. Also I think an easy option to perfectly size them to the cylinder is to drill a hole of exactly the right size in steel and pressing the lead balls through. It should shave a ring of lead off and if sized right would go right into an unmodified cylinder just right
@@davidbielski3484 round ball will hit with less energy
Where are you getting 9mm x 50 these days for $15?
@@edwhitson9873 literally everywhere online, at the local gun shops and even the big box stores
My new truck gun…🤠
take a slim piece of rubber ,cut everything out perfect ,holes slightly smaller ,glue in place , it will keep em from falling out , or do what the paintball guys do , put some detents in the holes ! now go to academy sports and get you a box of round .50 cal black powder balls , under 15 bucks for a hundred rounds !
You’re always so resourceful my friend! Thank you
Take a solder iron and melt the plastic back in small incriments to fix your mags bro
You good 🙌🏼
@@AirgunAlley was a good vid man.. Def something new and diff!
Yes Please 🙏🏻
The Beltway Bandits Mat 👍
5;38 I live in Tampa Florida, I've seen plenty of TH-camrs doing strenuous things but it's rare for anyone outside Central Florida and below to be the ones that rain sweat like this.LOL. It looks weird if you've never seen it before but the damn humidity is insane.
Hahahaha!! Man I sweat just thinking about going outside… it’s ridiculous! 😅
@@AirgunAlley 👍👊
I once loaded a cut down .45 acp slug in my hdr 50 and it was the first time i ever actually felt some recoil firing that gun with an 11 joule, it had some thump down range too, dented the board i was shooting and knocked it around. Maybe some tests of that? I just wrapped it in electrical tape.
Tool tip my guy.....tie a string around that bit so u only go but so deep when u drill if your having depth issues.
You know things my friend! Hats off to you
@@AirgunAlley that's a tip I learned in construction a while back.
When you see someone using a masonary bit for plastic makes me cringe. Like using steel bits into concrete, wood bits into steel etc. Its not that hard guys.
Other than that, great vid as usual.
Hahaha I lived off of a backpack til I turned 39 years old. I never opened a tool box in my life! Drill bits unfortunately are completely out of my knowledge. I should’ve googled it, but the most important is that you guys got the idea 😂
Thanks a lot my friend :)
@@AirgunAlley No problem mate 😆, we all have our strengths. I think if you used a steel bit, the fit would have been more precise, air tight and hence making the rounds much more useable. They look decent, so i would give it another bash with a cleaner drill hole, as that masonary bit would have drilled a horrible hole.🤠. Obviously a drill press would be ideal, but i doubt you would have one. Keep up the grate work, thanks to one of your most recent vids i ordered myself some CODODO Hunting Arrow Slug broadhead extreme.
I was having the same problem. I drilled too much the chamber so it can fit cheap steel balls 1/2". Problem solved with a thin layer of black silicone applied with a straw for roundness. Now they doesn't fall out
Good one! Thanks a lot George!
This is more like a slingshot .. in fact a good slingshot will be way more powerful.
We need a PCP version of this exact 50 so we can get atleast 750 + fps..I did hate you damage a few receiver clips but hey now we all know what not to do on your expenses..ide really like to see some pcp types on this channel I think it would amaze the audience..great vid and excellent clear cut demo 👍 liked and subbed
Hey man, thanks a lot, I appreciate the sub! I couldn’t agree more? A PCP (compact tank) would be absolutely awesome on this. On the entire T4E line, for that matter! Not sure how “less” lethal it’d still be hehe
@@AirgunAlley lol....I gotta get my head out of the personal protection thought sometimes and just slide back and enjoy the range with these advanced pellet guns lol..
@@winndixie5505 absolutely! Also because with these, your backyard is the range! :)
@@AirgunAlley lol..so true! Mine is ..but I'm lucky I got a nice distance to bore and scope set at 100 yards.. if your ever in S.C. your more than welcome to get on our range and I can even put you in a stand and hunt with whatever you need and want to take down!! thinking my next investment is going to be a 50 cal. PCP to do some large game hunting ( whitetail) or medium def hogs ...when I get it this week may drop ya some personal PCP feedback and review...keep up the amazing work..my son is drooling over a few of your model(s) you reviewed..
As is is always better without all of the extra work. The devastators are still the best.
These pellets are a great idea for ammo but the jamming issue is a deal breaker even tho i have an 11j model. Thx again.
Use a rubber band or an o ring around the projectiles
Excellent idea man! 👏🏼🙌🏼
Great video my friend. Would be cool to see the Senecas fired with the XM4.
Thank you Erik! I shall try… let me figure out this jamming issue first, but boy that will be cool
I have not shot them yet but I did buy some... 1/2 inch marbles... They seem to fit pretty good... Pretty cheap...
Awesome! Those are cool too. Have fun shooting them
super video, n oubliez pas d utiliser a chaque fois du spray silicone pour le canon et le barillet et utilisez une dremel pour les modification , c est plus progressif pour modifier
Oui! Good idea mon amie Bernard! Merci beaucoup
I definitely would not use a masonry bit to do that, as you seem to have done
I much agree and good point! I had that one available, so I used it. I admit to have used a drill twice in my life. I assume that those who would get into the task of drilling their cylinder, would know better. I do recommend using a 1/2 inch - not a concrete bit, in the video.
I think lead is too soft to have much adverse effect on the barrel, directly, you’re just not gonna wanna use wire brushes to clean the barrel. I also, think there’s room for improving lead projectiles to be optimized for the HDR50,…; Like the more hollow you could make the projectile on the interior, before risking it mushrooming prematurely and jamming in the barrel would be ideal. Maybe even one,… where you fill the mold to capacity with .177 BB’s, and pour the molten lead, subsequently, so there’s just minimal lead,.. only just sort of ‘gluing’ them together, until they smash into the target. 😊
Man I'm with you 100% and thanks for the cleaning tips! Hopefully we'll see more of that ammo indeed!
Drilling the gun or cylinder might be a bit of a stretch to fit "pellets" in it but I am glad *you* did for our entertainment haha
Hahahaha indeed… sometimes it’s more science others it’s pure entertainment - I love making videos
im thinking you should give these a try with a modified mag mercury tr50 i bet these could actually be more reliable in that
Why did you use a masonry 1/2 inch drill bit instead of a much more precise bit designed for wood or metal? The bit you used is intended for use in concrete and stone and designed to wear a little bit before they hit the exact half inch size.
Where were you when I needed to know all this stuff?? 😂
D.Y.I. guy this guys is the best i loved this video
You actually used a masonary drill bit. Noice...lol
Hehe I know! 🤦🏻♂️
why not just pre-seat the slugs with wax,
to hold them in place,
so that they don't jam the cylinder?
(assuming it's the wobble of the slugs, and not the weight jamming the cylinder?)
That’s definitely an idea that would work, my friend! I’m just not crazy on the idea of having wax splattered all along the barrel hahaha
Very nice borther your ideas and more upgrades in these weapons can replace real hand guns
Interesting projectiles, but must be a mess to clean up all that spilled food from all over the place.
Hahaha the good thing about living in South Florida is that there’s torrential rain every afternoon. Every morning the table is like new and the soil enriched with legumes, watermelon parts flower and other food components which it quickly absorbs! I pick up the metal and plastic :)
@@AirgunAlley Wow, I would've never thought of that. Great, then! :)
Absolutely not. 😂
Now the next thing to do is get the Umarex Hammer.
Haha that would indeed be the smartest move
that scale has a grain mode for future purposes.
Thanks! I’s actially a feature I’ll start using more now that I’m beginning to play around with pcp. As you know the paintball world is mostly measured in grams. Good to have both!
How about adding a dab of silicone sealer to the inside diameter of the cartridge holes to tighten the fit. Just a thought...
And a good thought! Could definitely work, John…
Try a drop of super glue to restore the holding lips, or maybe a drop of finger nail polish.
For the cylinder that you drilled all the way through, why not use paper wadding to hold your pellet in place like an old school muzzle loader? (AKA Musket)
Very good idea my friend! Thank you
A thick smear of silicon grease will help hold the pellets in the drum.
And you’re lubing your chamber and barrel at the same time!! 2 in 1
Great idea my friend!
Never ever look into the barrel when it is jammed because the trigger is still active I had the same issue and as I was fiddling it shot out
Hey Derrick, thanks a lot and sorry to hear about your incident!
Several people have told me the same, but indeed I’m not looking in the barrel, my camera is. It took me several attempts to get the shots right. But again it’s just the lens that looks down the barrel, not me.
Everything is done at an angle, away from my body.
I echo you in repeating to “never ever look into a barrel of a jammed gun”!! Thanks again
Well then I will say you did an excellent job because you gave the viewer the idea that it was you looking down the barrel of the gun that is the perfect shot when it comes to filming.
There's tastes for everything! I learn to shoot at the age of 5 years old whit a Norica 5.5mm cal "air rifle", but at the age of 10 years old my father give me my first semiautomatic shotgun that I own until today ia a Pietro Berreta 12 gauge 5 shoots, I'm 43 years old now! My son in a few months going to do 10 years old and I'm going to give him is first S&W revolver in .32H&R magnum, because he loves guns like me. I bought him one co2 gun and he doesn't show any interest in that! I wonder why!? .... sorry but I think is a waste of money some air guns, super expensive and doesn't serve almost for nothing! But is my personal opinion and I respect the people who like this kind of things!
Thanks my friend and absolutely, there’s tastes for everything. Thank you for being respectful in your comment! I’m also 43 - as a documentary filmmaker and then a News cameraman, for the past 20 years I’ve been surrounded by the horrible pain and suffering mainly caused by conflict. I’ve naturally always disliked firearms for that reason. Funny how things change. I never in a million years thought I would start a channel on weapons!
All this to say that there is a big world out there. Many countries have strict laws. Others, like me, are not crazy about the idea of having a real gun at home - but find a good compromise in this type of airgun…
Wishing all the best for you and for your son! Being a father is truly the greatest experience of all :)
I would love to see one of these pellets verses something like a cows head from a butcher shop. Or a deer. Just to see what it is like against real muscle.
I'm planning auch a vrdeo later this week , I've ordered an urmarex50 hdr, only version I could find in UK was a 7.5, , still gonna use the pig skull for bookends after.
@@ThirdEyeLazerClinic sweet. Dude for you to respond eight months later with planned content material makes my heart swell. You got a new subscriber.
Did you know that conditioning your flex on just one material,hard stone,wood,heavy bag produces a different effect when conditioned flesh to flesh, interesting that Iron Jacket needs soft stuff.
Sorry for any confusion, I've me an words, I'm sure that I put them in that sentence in an order that would've others understand my meaning etc,lol.
The train wreck of thought went, stopping rounds, bones, sinew, flesh
Muscle TENDONS, here is the missing link- In some traditional styles of Gung Fu, the body is conditioned to para-normal levels, amongst other things, iron body is real but I've never seen a Shaolin Monk get shot with an auto 9mm.....
Seriously though, I perform on stage but I'm really putting off this video thing,you tube thing, maybe a video about that, an thanks for your message I'm Jay.
@@fuuuuuwahhhh5276 going butchers on Tuesday if artillery arrives, got some s type rubber/steel, gonna get some .50 bbs to, maybe paintballs fir stencils,
Have you heard of shape charges been fiddled with?
That’s because you used a 1/2 masonry bit, if you used a regular 1/2 drill bit it probably would have been fine. That masonry bit has a tip that’s wider than 1/2 inch
Hehe I know now. I had that one available and didn’t really know it made such big difference
They need to downsize to a 357 and run the 80gr pellets. Should work awesome
Boom! Yes! That would do it! 🙌🏼
@@AirgunAlley in theory anyhow
The pellets are made out of lead and are meant to give so a little forcing is not a bad thing.
Good point and with the right drilling (I was a butcher) you can make it nice and tight…
Should have made some sleeves for them
nice video, but a slingshot with lead balls will laugh of that pistol
Thanks a lot!! I think the pistol is not that bad, with proper ammo for it. You get 6 shots and you can aim properly. But I agree, slingshots can be pretty powerful! Thanks again
Have you tried xtp hunters by hornady yet? They have the plastic jackets 240grain? Look like wad cutters? I like them but haven't put one threw the hammer yet? Kinda nervous the wad will catch in suppressor🤔?. You can use your fingernail r pocket knife to score those so they'll seat in chamber/cylinder
Bro you’re so full of good ideas I love it!! Thanks a lot Todd!
@@AirgunAlley I believe both hammer & Dragonclaw are riffled barrels already? I thought you was taking bout using different ammo out them? If you ever get chance to shoot hammer definitely try it. Kicks like 20guage 😂
Dab of grease on each rounds circumference to hold in drilled through magazine.
Good one! 🙌🏼
@@AirgunAlley any chance of you reviewing the extended barrels and thread on extension kits?
@@cal2299 good question. I just reviewed (check my latest video) a barrel-shroud extension that you apply externally. But never the actual barrel extension, nor the whole power tuning kit. (Check out Rune Rebel or DK Spenser for that)
I actually decided to stop reviewing modified guns and stick to factory products. I noticed that the majority of my viewers prefers that.
Thanks again!
The last rounds look Awsome
I want pellets but i wont do the work :/
Sooo Do you still stick with pirahna pellets being the most damaging ???
Hey there! Regarding ammo for the HDR 50 there is so much cool stuff to choose from now, that you really don’t need these pellets. This was more of an experimental video :)
And yes, in the .177 format, I still stick by the piranhas! All the way….
Thanks for watching my friend
@@AirgunAlley what do you suggest for the 68?
I also got some hollow point slugs and they were to long.
So i crimped the nose and bent them in to fit.
But they were also loose
So I used a thin duct tape and a razor or carefully craft a sabot
Then i considered this might be to much for the weapon
Then i lost interest, but they look badass
Hahaha well, I wanna be you when I grow up! Wish I was that handy :)
Nice advice
, thank u man !
Mellon crackas but I expected they are barrel lodgers
Lol I tried these and they just plunked to the ground. Used em to make a silicone mold so I can make my own lighter ones.
Good idea man!
Good gun
🙌🏼
I'm sure you already know what those rounds are for, so I won't say a word about that but 12.5 grams omg hope your gun is tuned up to the max haha I've seen guys kill bears with those slugs maybe if you were to tweak the slugs you would get better performance
Oh I know, this was purely a “let’s try and see what happens” kind of video! I can immagine the damage they do if shot with a pcp rifle, for example…
Only thing I can legally buy and use to defend my property in U.K. without forms ect.
Micro thin paper to hold pellets in
🙌🏼
My humble advice:Never look in muzzle of stuck gun....i bet co2 capsule was still in.Please.
Thank you my friend and I absolutely echo your advice! In my case I did not look into the barrel nor point it at my face. I pointed the camera in the barrel, as I kept my body away. I also had already removed the CO2 cartridge. But I appreciate your concern as it’s a good, fundamental rule reminder!
Awesome video dude!!!
Thank you my friend!!
I wonder if dipping or spraying the pellets with Plastidip would give you just the amount of thickness needed for cylinder retention and a good seal.
That could work! Will have to try… thank you my friend
Good video thanks for the heads up on the drilling thanks.
Thank you my friend! I bet they work a lot better in the hammer hehe !!
. 498 diameter seneca are for the seneca dragon claw 50 cal. The Ummarex hammer is .510 diameter . You wont get accuracy shooting a slug that is .498 in the hammer that is for .510 slugs. . Mr Hollow point has .510 slugs
Good film. But instead of a concrete drill, you could have used a metal drill, and you'd better choose the diameter.
Thanks my friend! You’re absolutely right!
You need to make flechettes for that thing! That would be amazing!
That Roscoe has a cool look! It's Styled after a Webley revolver.
It does, I was surprised by how heavy it is! Anyway, I’ll have a good look at this next week ;)
I don’t know if you have a valken m17 from first strike but I would love to see a video shooting these and other hard projectiles out of the valken m17 or t15
Not yet my friend. I’m still not at the level of buying guns for review, so far people only send me projectiles. But I hope that will change soon, so that I can test all the Valkens and other markets out there!
Greetings from Napa California I love your channel. you do great things. I also watch DK Spencer and Riot balls and also Gimble and a few others and Rune rebel,. love all yall ! 🔫 🥳 frickin badarse stuff!
Thanks so much my friend!!
Truly appreciate your support and I love where you live, hope to be your neighbor one day 😉
YOU CAN SUPER GLUE A RING maybe to the backs of mags ? ,or simpler , drill tiny hole and put a very small eyeglass screw ,nail or wire back there preventing ammo fall through ? . are the mags aluminum ? when you drilled them did you see silver metal ?
go to academy and get you a box of .50 cal lead balls , its 19.99 for a 100 . they were 12.99 a year ago !!! they fit perfect and stay in mag ! i also just got some 1/2 dowel rods to make ammo with ,ill drill holes in them to fill with stuff , insert metal screws etc.
LEE RELOADING SELLS RESIZING DIES THAT MAKE AMMO ANY SIZE YOU WANT ALSO BRO !!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MY DEAR FRIEND !!!

@@AirgunAlley having a TH-cam channel can put a lot of strain on a person , imagine having to comment on 1000's of comments each day , i see it a lot in others channels , eventually .
they stop commenting all together lol. i know you and my other 4 favorites in the LESS THAN LETHAL world try their best at answering their comments .
I know you try very hard to always answer the questions and comments by your subs , i just hope that people realize that you guys have a life , family and jobs etc. , that sometimes makes it hard to do this .
I WANT YOU TO KNOW i appreciate all you continue to do for the LESS THAN LETHAL community , thats just one of many reasons you my friend are one of my 5 most favorite in this field .
i just had a thought , would super gluing a perfect size rubber oring on that side of mag keep the ammo from going all the way through ? also super gluing a couple or 3 v shaped small piece of maybe something tough like weed eater line would help to keep the ammo from falling out ?
i have also thought about the holes and nozzles of pressure washers , notice the higher pressures have the smallest holes , so i would imagine concerning co2 , would nt it be better to have smaller co2 exhaust opening to push the projectile with greater pressure or force out the barrel ?
one of the best mods you can do to the newer , in the last 10 or 15 years , crosman 1077 is install that small oring in that exhaust cone part that shoots the co2 to the pellet in the mag .
if you ever get you the inexpensive crosman 1077 , ill show you how to mod the internals to have way more power , i went from having about 60 shots from co2 tube to about 28 shots , by increasing the weight on the hammer , putting more of a stronger hammer spring to make hammer hit way harder .
i did this with a simple oring lol , plus i shave some plastic off the part that allows the hammer to go further in the valve pin making it push it a lot further causing more longer co2 exhaust for a more powerful shot !!!!.
another favorite all time co2 air pistol is the famous .357 or the newer version the "vigilante" , i love it the most because you can put pointed pellets in the mags , and especially the very nice H&N HORNETS WITH THE SOLID BRASS METAL SHARP TIPS in it , you cant do this in most mag fed airguns and rifles like the crosman 1077 !!!
i guess on day i look into further power moding the vigilante , i did crown the barrel on both ends though and move the barrel real close the the mag , i guess putting a spring on it like umarex does for the hdr's would help also . it is by far , one of the most accurate co2 air pistols i have ever shot !!!!
i also stretch my spring on the exhaust cone that pushes the cone closer and harder to the pellets in the mag . just like in all revolvers real ones and airguns , the space on both ends have always lost some pressure to the projectile because of the small gap on both sides to the cylinder or mag , pressure does escape in them spots .
even in real firearms ,if you had your fingers or hands by the cylinder , you could get a very nasty burn , or have pieces of skin blown off at the least when you shoot lol , did you ever notice the fire that escapes in this area when you shoot ?
i think getting better airflow to the pellet would be the key to more power , it has a small length of metal tube like the crosman 1077 rifle that supplies the valve with co2 , and maybe putting a lighter spring in the co2 valve would help also to allow more time open with less force needing to be applied to open the valve easier , along with increasing the weight of the hammer and spring tension so hammer hits a lot harder .!!!!!!!
i just wrote a hell of a lot of things for you to consider my brother lol , oh one more thing , find you some bodies of water or lakes ,bayous ,rivers , and shoot at things floating in the water , you will see exactly where the projectiles go , it really teaches you the distances you air weapons or good at , so much precise fun and knowledge .
well once again ,over and over and over again , my passion for airguns is clearly seen by the amount of words i write about the subject , lol lmao !!!
HAVE A NICE DAY WITH YOUR AWESOME FAMILY MY BROTHER , AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE FUN WITH YOUR SHOOTING AND VIDEOS !!!!!
😀
Hey man! Thank you so much for understanding! I also travel a lot with my job, which gives me a much less time for TH-cam than I hope for, and of course I have a beautiful family that I must concentrate on. I wish days were longer haha
@@AirgunAlley lol its ok buddy ,me myself and plenty of your subs are thankful for the time you give us !
So with the modified gun it's just 11j?In this case they are out of choice anyway.
Yes, they’re soooo heavy!! Too heavy
@@AirgunAlley I saw hPa airguns for that caliber, unfortunately not legal here,but probably you can have one.also exists in other calibers like 9mm for example.they are as deadly as a firearm.
185Gr pellets at 131 ft/s is around 7ft/lb energy btw 👍
Thanks a lot for this man 🙌🏼
Them BAS are dead on
That's a masonry drill bit. For concrete
I seen .50 cal air rifles on here at least once for sure
I meant fist time using these on an HDR50
