T4E TX 68 Shotgun .68 Caliber Training Paintball Gun Marker

LOVE THIS! Excellent home defense.

This thing is nice. A little on the heavy side but that weight makes it feel even more real when people hold it. Makes a loud pop noise and that helps too. I added a grip to the pump and a small red dot to it as well and it looks very intimidating.

Complete quality,, endurance,, Elegance,, and power all in one. Umarex outdid themselves once again. The build quality of this Less lethal shotgun is No different then that if when I was on active duty in the USMC.

5 stars for the fact that this is a great product. Unfortunately Amazon is getting terribly bad at delivering anything on time!

A little front heavy, and the loading assist gizmo is a needless fidget, but the slide actuation is smooth and short, and even in stock lower power form, I know I sure wouldn't want to take a shot from this thing. I've no doubt that a head shot, even in the low power config, would incapacitated or kill a home invader. The fact that it can be stored in a super safe, un-charged state for long periods of time without effecting its ability to be deployed in a second is pretty impressive. Gonna mod the valve, and maybe extend the barrel for some extra joules, but between the noise, the impact, and the ability to throw pepper gas balls, someone with bad intentions is going to lose interest very quickly even as it comes right out of the box. Is it gonna give you movie quality feet keep going but body reverses direction stopping power . Nope, it hands down will not, BUT... it is accurate as the devil under 50' (haven't tried any further) and it is straight up mean looking from the business end. Most ill intended are gonna hear that "slack-slack" of the slide actuation, see that huge .68 cal. hole staring them down, and I think they'll reconsider. If they don't, the muzzle attachment looks like some kind of meat tenderizer, so between that and the heft of the gun you've got a very persuasive plan 'B'. Against someone with a traditional firearm you'd be SOL, but against somebody with a handgun at 30+ feet, a single well placed shot to the head should easily end the threat, so if your goal is LTL home defense and ya don't or can't have a firearm, this certainly offers a good starting point alternative.

The cool factor is off the chart. That being said, this is the 7.5 j version and is not much more than a Wall Hanger. It is false advertised as 300-fps when in fact it is the 250-fps version. Even the picture is wrong as it does not show the "F" stamp on the right side above the trigger that denotes the neutered version that is being sold.

Don't buy this for self defense. Depending on where you live it ships in different joule levels without telling you. In CA. It comes in a 6 joule configuration. That's not enough power to stop an intruder. And even if it did momentarily, once he knows it's fake you're in trouble. To make it more powerful you have to buy a 50 dollar piece that goes into the guts of the thing voiding the warranty and making an already too expensive purchase even more disappointing. I want to love it. It's made well. But in CA we can't even buy pepper balls for it. Its $50 for a hundred balls you can't use twice. Now it's a $500 all in lesson learned.

Nice to have as a home defense if you’re unsure about having a firearm. Shoots well no issues. Packs a punch I wouldn’t wanna be on the receiving end even though it’s non lethal rounds. I do have rubber, rubber with metal bearings, 100% nylon, and pepper balls. All seem to hit hard at metal targets. Would recommend. Ammo is cheaper compared to real ammunition. Can also shoot this in the backyard plinking targets if you have good sized property. I haven’t tried paintballs, so unsure how well it would do. The breacher muzzle in the front is actually metal so it would definitely do some damage if someone got up close and personal and you started jabbing them hard with that point of the barrel muzzle. I could see it do some damage. You can take that out or leave it on depends on you. You can also mod parts if you wanna have them hit harder than what it usually comes as.
