THE FIRST TORPEDO REVOLVER SLUGS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Today we test the first prototype ammo for the new TR50 (Torpedo Revolver) by Californian brand Mercury Rise.
The “925 PULSE” slugs by US brand SSHobbies are a ‘dual-steel core’ torpedo shaped slug: with two 8mm BBs in a 3D printed plastic sabot.

The comparison video side by side will be interesting to see.
As I have the hdr 50 modded and quite happy with it. Lowest shots I get are 14.04J from it.19 J highest first shot.Get approximately 12 good shots from a cartridge.
Yess indeed! I’ll be doing a long and detailed video… a lot of work ahead 💪🏼💪🏼
You get good numbers my friend!!
Just ordered my first, it's 11J version. What mods do you use? I already ordered Z-ram's chamber extention part. Do you both have experience with these extensions, are they worth the modding of the case?
The HDR-50 holster can be modified to fit the TR-50 by cutting an inch-long window on each side below the cylinder bump. I did this by heating the blade of a disposable box cutter with a torch and melting straight lines through the ABS. I also carved a groove for the mag release button using a soldering iron, as that was dragging on the inside of the holster. Used an exacto-type blade to remove the melted ABS lip and bevel the edges, then polished the interior of the holster with automotive wax. My TR-50 now drops and locks effortlessly into the HDR-50 holster.
Boom! There you go! Love it!
Dude you’re going the extra mile each week to make every single video as interesting as possible. Love your music choice by the way 🔥🔥
Oh man I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for the boost!! 🙏🏽
@@AirgunAlleyI mean it🤘🤘🤘💪💪 you’re awesome man
I agree about the music. Nice choice!
Youre on the cutting edge of this tech brother! Great show as always, excellent data on this very interesting and promising launcher
Scott thank you so much, I truly appreciate your kind words!
0:13 did he say Tostitos! Somebody is mighty hungry…. I could sure go for some Tostitos with some jalapeños meat sauce and cheese… oh man! Lol 😂😂😂
Well I’m glad I didn’t shoot any spaghettiOs on this one or you’d really hate ma hahaha
i wonder if they were loaded from the front of mag instead of rear if they would perform better . also a light coat of silicone oil on slugs makes em fly thru barrel faster , i dont care if you are cutting your grass , preparing your land to have a garden to feed your family when not if ,,,, but when,,,, SHTF , or just doing skits , i always enjoy watching my brother do his stuff LOL !!!!!!!!!!! i plan on getting one to mod shortly !!! i think i am finally ready to put my special hdp's and hdr's more out in the public , its been almost year of trouble free shooting and 100's of shots through all of them , 3 hdp's , 1 hdr.50, 1hdr.68 fully modded up to 42ish joules and still no problems what so ever !!!...havent had no complaints from the one i modded for other people also so far . i have so much confidence in my complete makeover of these weapons , i will fix free if something goes wrong for up to a year of purchase !!! yes like you my friend , i might finally be ready for the big leagues .!!! lol oh by the way , i am finally walking a bit now , its been one month now since i had my total right hip replacement surgery !!! i must also say , thank GOD for modern medicine and painpills also lol !!!
Hey man! So glad you’re back on your feet and ready to put out a show! Keep us posted my friend, you sure have a lot to say my man.
Thanks so much as always! Keep taking it easy till you’re fully recovered!
@@AirgunAlley will do my brother !!!
AGA has done it again. Pound for Pound Shot for Shot #1. I'm beyond impressed with your content bro. You've taken all to a whole nother level from day 1 up to seconds ticking right now 💯🤙🏿💥
Oh man, you’re always so nice to me, thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement! You always give me a big boost 😎
Sup monti
I bought that TR50 as soon as the Complete Technology Solutions RUclips channel did a vid on it like a month ago. I got the steel rubber and devastator ammo too. Ain’t shot it yet. Guy on the other channel already took it apart but it was basically same as Umarex but it did not have a valve block in it. Another channel was getting about 20 shots out of a 12g co2 charge. The CTS guy showed you could screw the paintball air valve adapter for the canister right into the handle but hasn’t tried anything with it yet. I want to see what Z-Rams will do in it. Awesome vids, thank you for making them. ✌️
Awesome man, good job on all the research you did! I’ll try to get into as many details in the next video and def will shoot the zrams :)
Thanks a lot!
Thank you bro for yet another great video, which was, as always, a pleasure to watch! Needless to say, I'm looking forward to your follow-up video!
Oh man, I can’t thank you enough for the encouragement! Truly, truly appreciated!
I suspect lightly lubricating the rounds may improve performance. Worth checking out. I enjoy your videos very much!!!
Excellent point. Lube would definitely make a huge difference with those things. I bet a bit of the Teflon infused Remington spray is the ideal stuff here.
@@toddsafi5052 Exactly. Slick but thin. Thanks for the come back!
Very good point! Thanks for the tip 🙌🏼
It would also increase the air seal pressure. Main problem is with how the rounds are designed. They need slight cup indentation on the rear to catch the air and build up pressure quickly. Plus use one ball in the front to make front heavy with rifled tail. Much more accurate with a harder punch. Same principal for anything of mass going through a medium like air. A heavy front end and narrow tail end with less mass would operate under the same principals as a trailer. Unstable with weight in the back, but in the front completely stable. Think of the tear drop shape. Hope airgun alley reads this. He has contact with these companies and I'm sure they could use the input. This tells me none of them went to engineering school.
@@charlestannehill7537 Good point concerning an increase in air seal efficiency. It sounds like we’re looking at a modified Minie ball design.
I don't think the rounds are bad, the accuracy was good, you gotta put them in something that is stronger than a red Ryder bb gun, might get some better performance
Excellent video again, good format. I need to restate what the other guy said; a spritz of lube would almost certainly make a big difference with those new slugs. For the slug maker, I'd say printing them with a hollow base would be a good idea.
Thank you so much Todd!!! And I agree on both points, my friend
i watch these mostly for the intro. bring back the zombies
Hahaha! I had to fight those gnomes first!
This one was a bit of a last minute one, to be honest 😬
nice video with this thing again, but noooo i cant seem to get it in the UK ggrrrrr, look forward to the head to head against the HDR 50
Sorry to hear that my friend! I always feel bad for my UK viewers! Watching my videos must be like walking in a candy store, but not not being able to taste anything!
Thank you so much!!
@@AirgunAlley hahaha yup look but dont touch 🤣😢😢😢
I think the projectiles for the Torpedo will need to be more pellet shaped with sharpened tips like an H&N Hornet. The bigger “chamber” created by a skirt on the end of a pellet allows the air to “ball up” and give more speed to the projectile than a flat or shallow back as seen on slugs and standard pistol rounds. Co2 just doesn’t have he needed expansion to launch a heavy projectile very far without capturing the gas, this is seen in the umarex air javelin which uses trapped co2 in an arrow shaft to launch a 15” 270 grain arrow at just under 300FPS.
My two cents! Keep up the great content!
Two cents?? That’s some very valuable input my friend! Thank you And for the little I know, it all makes a lot of sense! 🙌🏼
Alright mate 👍 look forward to the next vid think im gonna give the edge to the hdr 50 with devastor rounds never lets you down. Will be interesting to see what round they come up with next for the tr50 so much potential. As always keep up the good work 👍
Thanks my dear Stuart! Those Devastator, I tell you! Hope you’re out there shooting some yourself!
Thank you as always my mate
Wish I could mate😂 been raining all weekend 😭
Thanks for another great video👍👍👍. it would be cool to see a spike round specify made for that torpedo tr50 in the future. I look forward to next week
Thank you as always Conner!! I agree, hopefully we’ll see some of those soon :)
Thanks again
on the two 8mm i'd probably put some foam or wadding , hot glue maybe behind the front one , try a steel 8mm and a lead .32 cal or whatever...(?) maybe those would work for firing normal 8mm rifle boolet from a .50 muzzleloader too dunno, one way to find out i don't have the stuff needed atm...
Thank you for another great video :D I am still looking forward to Mercury rise to arrive in Denmark :D Looking forward to the next one :D
Thanks a lot my friend!! Yes I also hope they’ll start selling there soon!
I worked 18h straight yesterday on the next video, “Mercury Rise vs Umarex” it’s a looong video 😅💪🏼
Thank you again as always!
Ammo in that Length going through a Smooth Bore Barrel
would have a higher Velocity
if it was more Hollow in the
back part and Heavy and solid in the front. It will be Interesting to see what Ammo Concepts that people will be coming up with Next.
Round One goes to the Devastators.
I bought a set of these from eBay and they actually kick pretty hard. After the balls came out of the shell I had to check the weight of the shell these are practically hollow points the shell weighs 2 grams! I must say they are decent but the power of the gun isn’t ready for 6.5 grams maybe 3-4
Awesome man! Thanks for the input!!
Great video 😊Blessings 🙏
Thank you so much! You too! 🙏🏽
Being that tight of a fit could be a drawback by forcing extra air out the cylinder. You can test that pretty ease by holding a piece of paper up next to the pistol while firing it.
No, I might have said it wrong. It’s tight, but in a good way. They fit perfectly, sealing off any fissure, yet sliding smoothly when pressure is applied :)
@AirgunAlley for co2 it's a fine line that's why I asked. It may be worthy to do a paper blow by test. It would be a good video as it's totally reflects the velocity. Keep it up, love the videos Brother!
Nice! I'm actually enthused despite the bad review. Purchased 2 packs of ammo from your ebay link. I'm also inclined to print my own at this point. TPU filament is flexible and can provide a snug smooth bore cradle for a projectile. TPU torpedo ammo is going down my range very soon I think.
Hey thanks a lot Tristan and good luck with the project… keep us posted!
I suspect to much surface drag on the elongated round it's probably a bad idea to try to rifle the round as well.
i have a few parts revolvers and always wanted to swap the cylinder portion for a magazine , and then connect a motor with armature so it basically fans the hammer which could be replaced or modded to have a bushing roller too and can have an external spring to try ....anyway the operation would be the new trigger is connected to a sleeve on the mag tube so it slides over the mag opening, on full trigger press an electric switch closes and activates the motor to fan the hammer on semi auto mode....it's a busted one and i learned to repair them but i like the metal 8 shot with ...one or two go through over four layers cardboard , can make my ears ring indoors i was surprised when i'd repaired one and test fire in kitchen how it began...../lol ranting
Excellent video comparison of slugs.
For those who do not yet have Airgun, they will be able to
Make their choice between HDR50 and Torpedo Revolver.
Merci my dear monsieur Gaston! I agree and with the next video I plan to make, I think people will be able to make that decision a bit more informed… thank you again
"ho tante noci di cocco splendide Dudududuu" citazione il "re leone " 😆
Hahaha! Ah no, da noi invece va molto “Moana”che piace tantissimo a mia figlia. Anche lì le noci di cocco abbondano :)
Hdr50 and the tr50 are the same. Just a name difference for market. HDR stands for home defense revolver and tTR for Trainings revolver.
Precisely :) well said
Well... they do look cool. Thanks Gian!!
They do! Very classy :) thank you, my friend!
I'd like to see a solid alloy slug for the torpedo. I think 2 steel balls in the sabot throws off the balance. They are a great concept, just need to be re-engineered. Great episode as always my friend 👊💯
Thank you so much my fellow AirgunTuber 😎
You make a very good point as always! 🙌🏼
Love it! thank you for the honest review :)
Hey man, thank YOU! Great work and I’m sure you’ll engineer the perfect slug(s) very soon, keep it up and keep us posted!
@@AirgunAlley will do we are working on a more uniform torpedo design now that incorporates a 25mm spike I’ll let you know tested a few designs took note of the weight and they have a really special feature for sound
Great video and testing as always. To bad the new long slugs didnt perform well. Take care my friend and happy shooting. Cheers from Norway 😃👍
Thank you so much maestro! 🙌🏼 Very first prototype, can’t complain. Let’s see what else will come out in the near future!
All the best as always my friend
I really expected better performance with those torpedo projectiles maybe with upgraded gun it will hit hard but for now a big thumbs up to that coconut 🥥 thanks for sharing from Less Lethal SA 🇿🇦
Yes it was heartbreaking to not do any coconutbreaking! Hahaha! But they’re just the first prototype… let’s see what time will bring us…
Thank you so much as always my dear Mogamed! 🙌🏼😎
...starting from 50 cal theres a lot of insert options to tinker on seems like as far as the big bore imo....
If someone would make diamond tipped projectiles for these revolvers, you could calculate the joules of the jewels.
Hahahaha!
And funny, talking about Burma… my very first film was “Burma Jewels and Wounds”
Should be on youtube somehwere
Oh man, I just get my modified hdr68 in 30 j. It's a beast!!!! I feel sorry for anyone that come in my house without permission. 😂😂😂
Hahahaha! My favorite! Well done my friend! Enjoy
Does your HDR68 have a forearm grip?
Looks like those torpedo rounds are too heavy for the power output.
I like the design, though. Perhaps they would be more effective with only one steel ball.
Or maybe the same kind of bullet but smaller
Cool, should have reused the jug ones.
I did 😂 I kept missing. I will address my view on the accuracy issue of these guns, in my next video…
Is the velocity of the bullet high enough to ignite tannerite?
Bravo again, awesom video and gans, respectful BG.
Thank you so much BG!!! I really appreciate it 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Was this the 11 joule or the 15 joule version
Have you ever thought of getting a paintball glock and using it with pepper balls?
This is the closest I got to that, my friend ruclips.net/video/vrnCjGo-qG0/видео.html
Love your videos
Thank you so much Iris!! I truly appreciate it 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Noticed a few rounds hit sidewayswhi h would mean that the ammo was unstable in flight
Good point. I’ll be touching on this in the next video. I personally have a very hard time in being accurate with these guns, meaning the HDR 50 and the TR 50. I do a lot better with the HDR 68 and other longer barreled guns.
I honestly think the gun is at fault here and I wasted a lot more shots than shown in the video by missing…. Thanks for your input!
How about buid Arrow shaped ammo?
Good point! I’m sure they will soon… have you seen this? KILLER ARROWS for the HDR 50 & HDS 68 & BRAVO 1.50
ruclips.net/video/EgFhcrGQ0Pc/видео.html
Have you tested any slugs on a Frozen Water Jug?
Ha! No not quite, that’s a good idea, although I’ll probably need something stronger. I did attempt a frozen watermelon once HDB 68 (40 joules) VS frozen watermelon

Hi long time.
I hope umarex take serious that all accidents with co2 tube and do the correct.....

Why won’t you ever do the hdp .50
That’s a good question my friend! Umarex actually sent me the compact version, I did a video about it and then it broke. Hahaha
The original HDP50 I never bought because I’m not crazy about launchers that only shoot balls.
Revolvers got me hooked to the immense variety of ammo they’re able to shoot, which then became my niche.
I keep telling my self, and my viewers, that I’ll get one at some point (same for the Byrna) but then I receive other toys to review and more time goes by…
Anyway. Sorry for the long answer.
In short: I will at some point :)
And thank you for the interest
Do you know if the M4 kit will fit the torpedo revolver ?
Good question, I don’t think so. I’m sure the magazine is too bulky for it to slip in- but I will try it and let you know if it does…
Where can o buy this toy?

Hi new subscriber here 😎
Thanks so much Rege ! Welcome to the channel 🙌🏻
Gostei muito e bom pra defesa residência
Hey buddy.
I hope your alright!!
Havent seen you out here in a couple weeks and that's not like you.
Maybe work has got you on the other side of the planet??!!
I hope everything is alright.
Hey George!! This is so kind of you, thank you so much for checking in!! Yessss, work has been crazy, I’ve been on the road three days out of every week (not on the other side of the planet, but in a lot of hotels nevertheless!)
Anyway, I have an almost 30 min video coming out tomorrow and today I was able to film the one for next week! So I should hopefully be getting back on track…
Thank you again my good friend 🙏🏽🙌🏼
Lots of unfortunate events happening all over the place to good people...glad your ok.
They were using large caliber air rifles in the napolianic wars, Lewis and Clark took air rifles along on their journey to the Pacific ocean,,,today, as well, you can get an air rifle powerful enough to take deer, even elk. I'm guessing this fellow hasn't heard of green gas pneumatics, they have been making high pressure pistols and rifles for decades, even the Beeman company is making high pressure pneumatic hunting rifles, in calibers suitable for deer.
This fellow actually made a ton of videos with very powerful PCP rifles, ones that even shoot arrows, like this one: The Dragon Claw, shooting ARROWS at 250 FPE!

Air venturi shotshell in a torpedo revolver....
You genius you!! I have to try that!! Thanks man
Hi, always good test👌. Notre very terrible This slugs😉
Thank you very much as always my friend!! Yes they need improvement, but not bad for a first protorype
The fancy bullets are no good.
🤔🤔🤔 i got a few ideas lol😅
Hahaha good!! World, be aware 😎 send them over when you’re done ;)
Useless trivia, sort of related to the video, but not particularly helpful: The original anti-ship weapons they called torpedoes were what we would call mines today. The quote "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" referred to these old timey torpedoes we would call mines today.
Very interesting! Even less related, one of my very first filming adventures was following a group of Karen National Liberation Army fighters in the malaria infested Burmese jungle, while stepping my feet exactly where the soldier ahead of me stepped. The area was full of landmines… planted by the same people I was with… but it was monsoon season… the mines were all homemade… so they don’t really stick well in one place for long…. with the torrential rain they went all over the place and no one knew where they were now. Good times!
The block has been removed for you I think
Yup, the gun has no block which is why it has a decent amount of power behind it.
No, mine is straight out of the sealed box
Yeah part of there upgrades is removing the block for you
Let me review it against my hdr 50
When showing the damage inflicted to a coconut by shooting it... or trying to, you should edit out the shots that you missed the coconut completely. We already know what kind of visual damage to expect from a lousy shot.
Thank you for watching
Not too happy about this one bro ☹️
Yea… saving up for the next one ;)
Every other video I've seen of this revolver they're getting high 300's to low 400's. Yours is getting in the 200 range. Something is def wrong here.
I guess this counts as absolutely crazy ammo. 😂 smh.
maravilha belesa top topjadeixei oliker okey
🙏🏽🙌🏼
Excellent content but if you have a short attention span like me, do yourself a favor and put the speed at 1.5X. Trust me.
😂 I tried that too the other day, it actually works very well!
Who buys a holster for a bb gun? It like a big girl, fun to ride but u don't want your friends to find out.
No No Son Mejores las pistolas. de PCP Como Las. Evanix Viper. O las pistolas Huben GK1 de 19 Rounds pistolas de. Co2 que usan esos pequeños Tanques. son Una porquería. No tienen mucha Potencia Y Aparte. se Echan A perder los empaques Muy Rápido. y Mucho gasto en La Compra de Esos Tanques. deCo2 mejor las Pistolas de PCP. Saludos de México. 🇲🇽
🙌🏼🙏🏽
I want to see these rounds fired out of a big boar air rifle
Hi Alex!
I dunno about these, they don’t feel solid enough. I did shoot the Devastators from a big bore air rifle here ruclips.net/video/pIOFjhOCJas/видео.html and the CODODO’s saboted .308 bullets here ruclips.net/video/_7xqlLyzTeY/видео.html and they worked great! :)
This gun 👎
Umarex 👍
I’m not so sure… but I’ll keep testing both. Time will tell…
If you're going to show this stuff in America how about do it in English measurements instead of metric
This is just a Nerf gun on steroids. Waste of time.
Ok
I've watched a lot of your videos over the past few days... At first, I was interested.. now they all seem like the same thing.. nobody wants to see the same thing in every video.
tell that to Hicock45 his channel is literally him shooting different guns
Hope you find the perfect channel for you my friend! And thanks for laying off mine
