@@DanielBrosman08211986 band where in good old England 🤣🤣🤣🤣😄😄
How many shots per co2 cartridge are you getting now with all of these mods in place?
@@samfletcher93 Normaly goes back to 7.5 joule after 5-7 clips, so 5-7x6
I do not understand why it is saying 9 joules extra at the beginning of the chrono test. Are you saying that the stock one only outputs 3 joules? Lol
3 simple tips learned about 60 years ago. Work on a soft white cloth (keeps parts from rolling away), fold cloth over work piece if danger of springs flying about, never try to catch a small screw / part - you may knock it far away - just watch where it goes.
I have actual gun cloths so there all yellowish brown but I agree with everything you said
Wow I’m about to do this upgrade thanks for the advice!
I was taught that from experience lol
but in Swiss the normal version has 11 joule, no need for that??
Lol very 👍 nice!
In regards to HDR .50 power upgrades this is the most valuable/helpful video on UA-cam. You should edit the title to include "valve removal" because it took me a long time to find this video (among all that I have downloaded) to remember which one talked us through "removing the valve block."

Hi, thank you for posting the video, I’m struggling with getting the screws out, there quite small and the screws can easily round off when I try to get them out, any thoughts on what screwdriver works well?
*Congratulations friend, thanks for the video. Here in BRAZIL we are forced to go through endless bureaucracy to have a firearm to protect ourselves and we are resorting to this type of "weapons" but I am happy that there is the possibility of improving it.*

Thanks very much for taking the trouble to break down the results for the different stages,very informative.
First of all, I really want to thank you for putting this video up. 1 point of difference though, I think the firing pin should be secured with threadLocker. There is a tremendous amount of force on those threads, and they will loosen over time and potentially become damaged from the vibrations. Not using thread locker will risk the long-term integrity of the part.
By far the best tutorial on the 7.5 J upgrade! Thanks!!
Hey, can i ask you where you got your upgrade kit?
@@narayankirk2036it’s from home defense 24 bro it’s a German website i think
When I started pistol shooting in 1979, 50 rounds of factory 0.45 ACP was £20. That was a weeks wages, I quickly learned to cast my own heads and reload ammunition. HDR 50 is not expensive.
Damn it looks so easy when you do it. I've done stuff like this before. But the springs makes me paranoid. Great video and informative!
Hi Dog. Nicely done. What I find very very good is to keep the stock barrel and buy chrome steel balls 12.7mm 8.3g. But you need to tune the magazines. The power is brill. And because the stock barrel is just right for the balls, great accuracy at 10-15 yards. If you like a certain ammo, tune the magazine chambers to that ammo. It makes a hell of a difference. And save £100. So "Heavy Metal" not different size "grippy plastic/silicon". Can send you an example.
Hey Jeff, what do you mean by tune the magazine?
Many thanks
@@bucks09 Hi mate. Just make a sandpaper cigar and lightly sandpaper the chambers so that the balls feed in from the front. Just a light press fit. Snugg not tight. Enjoy.
@@jeffsmith50001 understood. Thanks Jeff👌
Its 500 for 30 quid ish. sorry. Still good.
Only thing left now is to upgrade to an aluminium trommel.
Another 3-5 joules as an estimation of gain. And, a squirt of the ole sillycoonspray never hurts lol.
Good video Andy, and your right about that little trigger spring, they don't half fly. Lost mine during the 'fettling' and came up with a novel solution. Metal guitar string, wound into a spring shape, works a treat.
what gauge please?
@@jimithesaintkl hello Jimi, if i recall correctly it was either the bottom e or the one above it.
Took a few goes to get it right length,and try using a drill bit to wind the coil. I think it has made the action a little smoother. 36/46 gauge.
@@danceswithbadgers4024 I bet those shots really sing! lol
Good steady upgrade Ben - not something that should be rushed with all those 'lively' springs involved 🤣🤣 nice result. Thanks for taking the time to film it all, I know it takes much, much longer than the end video length to produce this 😉💥
This reminds me of raking my first remote control car apart. The more you watch the more you think he will not get this back together!
Thanks for the video! After an accident I am at home the next time and so I decidet to buy a HDR50 and a power kit, the tuning barrel arrives the next days and than I ll install the parts. Your video was the last I want to know before to start the job. Specially to left the pin which is glued was in my thoughts the biggest problem, a burner could be an option 👍 I hope everything will work fine and than I ll have some fun with the gun and maybe for homedefense too 😉
Nice job, thanks. I'm late to this new game. I had wish that you'd have kept using the smaller weight ammo so a metric was established with only the upgrade being different.
Nice video Ben. In warmer weather you will get closer to 30 joule 😃
I should have watched this video till the very end! I bought the tuning barrel without watching any videos on it., I have a HDR.50. The tuning barrel I received was for HDP.50 ...Company mistake but the Pistol barrel and the revolver barrel are very different. But the pistol barrel will work if played with in the revolver!
Nice work, easy to watch.👌👌👌
I remember my dad buying me all kinds of mechanical toys ( electric cars, trains etc. ) and after a few days he would find them in pieces and question me, what happened to the toys? My response would always be, " I got tired of playing with them and so I decided to take them apart to see what made them work ".
me too
Thanks buddy! Good info! You could now put a HPA adapter on and use a 13c tank! I bet the joules would increase a lot more! And wouldn’t be affected by weather conditions.
In an upcoming video, I have the adapter and bottle, so will give it a go.
Yes HDR50/TR50 can go "beyond multiverse" with hpa. Extremely powerful with hpa. Not only that, much cheaper to shoot with hpa and hand pump.
Sinceramente un gran trabajo muchas gracias amigo, ahí va una cerveza.
A slight sugestion. Here at Ramstein AFB we use Tetra Gun (not an endorsement, I just have some at hand) fluoropolyner grease and with your thump if you evenly coat the sliding surfaces of the barrel and action (not the trigger assembly) evenly and lightly not only will your TDR50 cycle like velvet but you may obtain an additional 0.5~1.0 joules and a few extra MPS average velocity due to the extra gas sealing. Don't worry about cold thickening as this grease has a working range of -73°C to 398°C (-100°F to 750°F). Any fluoropolymer of this type will do with the same temperature range and thickness and they also work great on pew-pew and real steel slides also. Use less thick lubricants on finer areas as these greases tend not to migrate into tight areas. With new guns if Glock copper factory grease is used first for about 500 rounds then the other with standard use any wear in the future will be very minimal.
But beware, Glock Copper makes a horrible mess so use it very sparingly. Unless of course you want everything around you to be copper colored.
We do this with both our pew-pew's and real steel's at Ramstein-Meisenbach AFB and rarely if ever have we had a seizure due to wear. Lack of lube is a different matter.
And always remember! "Once the bullet leaves the barrel there's no calling it back!".

umarex recommends to put 1 drop of RWS silicone oil on the tip of every co2 canister... RWS silicone oil is very expensive, can I use something alternative, what is your opinion of this
Looking back I see my statement was rather vague. What I meant was, can I use alternative brands of silicone oil or must it be only umarex brand RWS for umarex t4e, is RWS simply a marketing gimmick?
So just removing the valve block on the 11 Joules version would probably make some difference but Awsome Video and I see the difference with the tuning barrel
Great video with lots of info. Thanks.
You a genius sir,great video
just an idea, when you pull the metal parts apart, you could do it inside a bag, just so you dont have springs flying all over. -i have done so when modifying airsoft guns.
liked you video, cheers mate :)
That's what that is. An airsoft toy.

While it was apart I would have removed the trigger assembly and polished and lubed all the metal to metal surfaces.

Great vid bro

Cal..
Thanks.
Am I missing something ? The "7.5 Joule" (which I've just ordered) shoots at 3.5J out of the box ? - less than 1/2 advertised power ?? That's shocking! I know different ammo gets different efficiencies, but that seems like grounds to send the thing back!
It’s very rare to really get out the advertised power on whatsoever airguns… Worst I’ve encountered was the SIG MCX CO2 pellet sprayer* (*because so inaccurate), It’s bragged a 12joules, but, on a hot summer day, just measured 5.8 J… And I bought even two of them, both the same, so I didn’t just get a lemon to be sent back !…
heat effects c02 quite a lot, warmer days more power, colder days less power. high pressure air conversions fix the problem but that's a whole other ball-ache to mod the the gun to work with a different power source.
Ohhhhh it's a co2 pistol. I thought it was an actual fire arm for a second
Really useful video..of course be interesting to know the difference just the tuning barrel makes on its own in the 7,5 joule..if you get the time lol ..great vid!
'Rune Rebel' on UA-cam, doing grate videos like this 'mad dog' 😉
Check him out 😎
Try and keep everything in the frame as it makes it easier to follow what you are doing 🙂
Thanks for the videos I see how expensive it is to shot this ammo but I do reuse them and shot at target that does not damage the ammo. Why not try this?
me 2, i also use them again if not damaged. but the main use of this gun, is not to target shoot for fun, but defense, so the cost of ammo is not a factor imo. cheers :)
Id love to have one😮😢
Wouldn't it make sense to do a Carbine conversion with a longer barrel , maybe a foregrip or stock?
Remove the cylinder block and it becomes 2x as powerful. My .50 shoots at 20 Joules.

Would you be able to tell us the specific tools we need I had the HDR 50 turn up today and ordering power kit Friday but need the right tools
I’m getting 18.7 j from the HDR with steel/rubber balls available online.
well produced. thanks. what about the torpedo by mercury rise? is it any good? are there kits for it?
much to learn, and don't know where the discussions take place. any advice from anyone who can refer me.
Great video content- keep it up! Hey what exact ammo were you using both them if you don't mind. Ive got the same thing fully done... Love to hear the comparison.... Thanks brother!
Sorry I missed it where you said the ammo 😢😅😂
Decent performance increase. But not really enough. Was expecting more with the barrel extension. I think the HDP shoots a bit hotter.
Good Video. You Did Some Good Upgrades. How Much Does it Cost?
Can't remember off hand, but there are links in the description for the parts I used.
@@Maddogairguns I Mean The Gun
Cool
Why is the little gas upside down?
Thank you for this test Mad dog. Much appreciated. Is there some way you could diesel the ammo such as add vaseline to diabolo type of ammo like devastators?
Would be very interesting to se if you get any effect and if so, by how much.
Not sure it will work, I plan to give it a go at some point.
Secondo te riesco a togliere il blocco solo smontando la scocca e valvola per poi tirarlo fuori con delle pinze a becco??! grazie
It sucks that we can't get tuning barrels in Greece. But what are they other than an extra cm. of threads? A smoother bore? A snugger bore that saves on leakage?
The tuning barrel is made of steel, so harder wearing. It is also a snug fit for some ammo, making as you say less leakage of the co2.
@@Maddogairguns Thank you. Since that's the case, it shouldn't be hard to have one machined at any shop. Come to think of it, it'll probably be cheaper too, eliminating shipping costs.
Is your velocity in feet per second? If so it's only making 1.35 ft/lb which is well below the 6 ft/lb we're allowed in the UK.
If I have it set to read joules, it's metres per second.
I might just go for the 11j version. Yes, it is more expensive, but with my hands containing 5 thumbs each, I know I will screw it up. Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea if you have the 7.5j version, and you do make the change look easy, but, going back to my hands of thumbs, easy or not, it will be a big challenge for me. Besides, increasing the joules by that much, and I'm only guessing here, it could change it from a non-lethal gun to a lethal gun. For those of us who don't want to kill an intruder and face court time, it might be best not to do the conversion. Just saying. Great video.
If you get the 11 joules version, you can just remove the valve block restriction for an extra 3-4joules. That is really easy, no need to mess with the springs in the trigger mechanism. Just split the case, take out the block and put i back together again.
Hi,even though 50J+ still difficult fatal，Do not worry.
ua-cam.com/video/UYOBz4avQ14/v-deo.html
This is about 13J+ Hdr 50,stopping power still insufficient.
So you need this for home defend，you must use pepper ball.
@@Maddogairguns do you have a video on this?
Would just fitting the tuning barrel alone make any difference to the power.
Is it possible (I'm assuming it is) to do only the tuning barrel change and still get a power increase without doing the power kit change?
thank you for clearfyinng if i had the 11 jl version do i need the cap
20*C get you more power.
Its a inside the house revolver.
23-25 joule..I guess.
Did you do any more upgrades on these ? So you’re saying buy the 7 jule one is stronger than the 11 jule even if they both been modified?
prove do dieseling....it is amazing
I think hdr 50 has 7.5 joule why your gun have only 4joule?
Hello! Thanks for your amazing videos. I have a question that I cannot solve. I want to buy Umarex HDR 50 11 joules for home protection. But I want to make this revolver more powerful. I watched a lot of videos, but I didn’t fully understand which of the options for increasing power is the most optimal? A revolver is needed specifically for home defense, and not for training or entertainment. I beg you, tell me a real way to increase the power of HDR 50.
I would suggest a 38 Special revolver then? If you already live somewhere where these high powered air guns are legal, a real gun should not be a problem?
@@penedrador I have a residence permit in this country, and I cannot buy a normal pistol yet.
most places where airguns have no limit and only require you to be 18 to buy them have severe restrictions on real firearms, you may be able to buy them with a "sports" use permit, but a carry permit is difficult or impossible, carrying an airgun even would also for a defensive purpose be illegal in most places!
and although you are allowed to defend yourself, doing so even in your home with a legally owned firearm you need to be extremely careful to not end up serving a long prison sentence for it, your really need to be facing certain death and be able to prove it! your word that someone came at you with a knife might not cut it, actual stab wounds might be required to convince a court of law!
a non lethal option might be better if it is capable of actually stopping someone but either way it will be a gamble!
of course different countries have slight variations...
imo a fully automatic high round pr second hpa driven bb gun with a 1000 round plus magazine might also be better for stopping an intruder than a 6 shot paintball gun... regular 68 cal paintball guns on a field are around 13 joules, so even if you double that you just might make an intruder really angry with 6 shots.
a steady continuous stream of a 1000 plus 0.177 steel bbs to the face i think would be a better deterrent!
but if you absolutely want this revolver then a 13c hpa tank conversion using 12.7 mm steel ballbearing balls would probably give the best result... hpa can easily be tuned to much higher pressure than co2, but then might become lethal at some point if you hit someone in the right/wrong place.
edit: there is also the hdr68, a 16 joule 68cal 5 shot version.
but i assume they are the same gun as the 50cal 6 shot 11 joule with just a bigger bore and the same potential for tuning and power.
and im not sure but i think the 50cal might "hurt" more as the projectile travels faster and impacts on a smaller area, assuming they can be tuned to the same joule...
@@ralphbooger4756 not allowed to defend your own family or self? that is insane, good ol'AR-15 in 50Beowolf and the bad guy can not testify against you
So why is the 7 Jule better to up grade than an 11 Jule...?....Great videos..
They say it is because the co2 chamber is larger on the 7.5joule version. But it might not make much difference.
@@Maddogairguns its true mate !!! :)
so i working foot pounds as live in the states now. thats like 4 foot pounds of energy from a projectile the weight of a 22LR ?
What's the fps conversion?
I was looking at the 11 Jules version would this kit work on that? Giving it even more power?
Which direcetion do i put the restricter back in? is it in the handle? but what direction?
Ben, did you replace the co2 for each test? Great video mate. Im uk based so mine standard but it's great fun.
Yes, I put fresh CO2 in each time.
Ποσες μερες να αφησω την αμπουλα μεσα
So actually if in your country both the 7.5 and the 11 versions are available is better u buy straight away the 11 version? Or the 11version stock will give like 7 joules power? Because the 7.5v gave like 3 jouls? Complicated 😞
Great video subscribed thanks for sharing
Can you put an extender on an 11 joules to increase output?
What you said about 7 joule UK version getting more gains than 11 joule version ? That doesn’t make any sense to me ? I’m in France and I can get the 11 Joule version, I’m contemplating the cal 68 version or this 50 cal version ? Which should I go for? Can you explain why a 7 joule version would get more power? I’d like to tune to around 40 J
That was the common myth at the time of recording, apparently the chamber inside the 7.5 joule version was slightly larger. I too am in France and my first HDR.50 was an 11 joule version, just managed to get 75 joules (I have a license) out of it using HPA. My HDR.68 (16 joule version) was hitting about 27-30 joules out of the box. A lot depends on what you want, the 68 is a big gun.
Where to get replacement springs or spring kit if lost springs?
Just warming a co2 capsule will increase power.
Will it not do the same job just drilling the hole in the export valve bigger. Also I would like to know can the gun as standard shoot ball bearings or must u modify something.
I'm sure in standard form the gun will fire whatever you can fit in it, the heavier the projectile the more power you will need to get it up to speed. As for drilling the export valve, I have also done that mod, there is a video of that with the results.
The HomeDefence-24 barrel is not rifled,so to me is not worth the $100.
My First Strike FSC came stock with the smooth barrel @ 30 Feet shoots an 8" pattern.
After I installed the Lapco rifled barrel @ 30 feet a 3" pattern or Bullseye.
My 7.5 Joule TR50(Same s HDR50) with the 7.5 Joule version valve kit from HomeDefence-24
Now it shoots a rubber ball thru a tin can @ 30 feet..

Great toy 🎯
ok I did all this but, I'm having a problem with my hdr 50. It's not firing properly the CO2 is in and the pin for the air gauge is popped out. When I pull the trigger it's like I'm firing without air, the ammunition cartridge is turning each time I pull the trigger but it is without the CO2 pressure. Can anyone tell me where to start looking to fix this problem? Thank you in advance
just guessing here, but i would approach this in reverse, take a look from the barrel, through the mechanics, all the way back to the co2 cartridge.
i.e. you know there is a connection from the co2, the pressure is building up, you have the red "pressure warning stick" popping out, so the problem lies beyond there.
so why it doesnt release the gas when triggered? i cant say, but search in reverse, maybe something with the "restrictor" part
Hi Ben, can you do a video where you compare the modified 11j against this modified 7.5j?
Doesn't seem to be much, if any difference from this test. It would be interesting to see them compared apples for apples.
Many thanks
I’m hearing now, that there might not be much difference between the two, I’ll try to sort out a comparison video.
@@Maddogairguns cheers Ben, that'd be great. It certainly seems that way from your videos so far.
Yeah I'm really interested as well the differences between the two. Modded and unmodified as well as light simple mods
Good video. Not sure why you were only getting just over 3joules. My 7.5j version is always around the 7 joules mark.
It was fairly cold, which might explain the low readings.
@@Maddogairguns aww OK, makes sense.
Hello... Congratulations for the well detailed videos... I wanted to ask you a question, to increase the power, is it sufficient to remove the reduction in the valve, or is it essential to assemble the kit they sell online?
you can drill out co2 restriction disk to 1mm then the power kit is pretty much useless
@@Seabass1206 Thank you very much for the reply...so you don't even need the pin that goes into the three hole valve? But what diameter should the piece of the co2 can have? Can you please give me some clear measurements? Or a link where they show this?
@@williamtabare8376 i would recommend starting at 1mm diameter 1.5mm max, the pin really doesn’t do too much and quite honestly the valve extension not so much either. if you want max power you need to run hpa and then you can remove the co2 restrictor disk completely and have it wide open
@@williamtabare8376 i forgot to mention removing the valve block but thats easy
@@Seabass1206 I have already removed the valve block but in this way I can only make 4 strokes at full power😢 mine is the 7.5 joule version
If you drill the hole in the export valve to 1.5mm you get much more power ;-)
I’ll give it a try.
@@Maddogairguns You'll be surprised about the more power. Maybe you can make a video after?
What do you mean? Where should I drill hole?
@@pastori70 In the "export valve", there is a hole 0.8mm. This hole you must drill to 1.5mm, NOT MORE!!!
