Internals

- No hop-up
- 8 inch Brass barrel
- Bottom propane accepted chamber
- Super Gas efficient, 5 second gas fill = 80 to 100 shots
- 6 Brass bullets

Performance

CQB Battle Only

Report - 1 Month ownership

If you were actually thinking of ever gaming a revolver anything longer than 4 inches will actually work well. I gamed this at the Ontario TTAC CQB Arena (Hosted by Brian McIlmoyle)

At first I thought, bah 280 FPS with a fixed hop-up revolver I will get owned. But man did the 8 inches of power helped with the accuracy.

- 30 feet effective range 10/10 hits
- 50 feet I can hit a man size target 8/10
- 70 feet+ I can barely hit it sometimes I can hit if I predict the right random spin it gets

Although only 6 shots you can get the 24 shot clip which is only like $12.95 USD. With 6 shots I only got enough to hit at most 2 people. And yes you can actually get kills with this so long as you are used to the sighting. Just ask Kohaku's welts on his arm how it feels.

PROS

- CQB friendly
- Badass 8 inch Dirty Harry feel to it
- 24 shot magazine allows for greater ammo
- 6 brass bullets loading them up feels realistic
- Gas efficient over 80 shots, 5 second fill

CONS

- Plastic handle feel
- Cannot whip the ammo cylinder in, must use hand to put push it back in
- Cannot be gamed outdoors
- No hop-up adjustment

I'm holding one right now. 6". Pretty good finish. Comforable.

Not bad for the price. Not balanced very well. Cylinder is a bit tricky to close.

It's decent for a lower priced gas revolver.

Conscript September 9th, 2008 00:38

How much and where?

Exacto Mungo its a good feel though not comparable to full metal Tanakas

But its something you don't have to worry about breaking and crying for it

And I swear by its CQB abilities and people are surprised if you got them with it

dragwindsor September 9th, 2008 00:45

I need one for cqb. People don't like my current revolver.

Skladfin September 9th, 2008 01:46

Yeah its already included in the Con section no hop-up adjustment

And the rear sight is not adjustable, I tried it with the screw and it just makes it loose the rear sight is fine the way it is anyway

Great review.

Thanks I look forward to writing more reviews. My reviews will be mainly based on Performance and personal experience cause everyone would get bored if I just talked about how shiny or metallic something was

Skladfin September 9th, 2008 19:43

no i meant that there isnt any hop up at all. Not even a fixed hop up

Yep.

Is there upgrades like a tightbore barrel for example for this?

Dao September 10th, 2008 03:29

Is it possible to remove the grips on these HFC revolvers and replace them with one from a RS or something like this?

Hmm.. I don't think so. If you look at the grips, the HFC's grips curve about 92 Degrees down where the trigger guard is.

Shirley September 10th, 2008 08:07

I'm not really sure, but is there a way where you can turn this to make the FPS higher?

tanaka revolvers are not full metal....

cbcsteve September 10th, 2008 14:26

Woah you took it apart so fast haha

Anyway I would suggest against increasing the FPS as after googling I could not find any but the Revolver is fine the way it is as its gas efficiency is pretty high already.

Be careful if you want to up the FPS yourself though cause like every gas gun if you overdo it the pressure may be too much and it will blow up, literally.

Skladfin September 10th, 2008 16:03

i hope those 24 rounder shells pass customs

and shortyUSA doesnt ship to Canada =(

cbcsteve September 10th, 2008 16:52

Steve saves the day again!

http://www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=243

They ship to Canada yay!

$17.99 USD shipping they have the 24 rounder and 6 Copper shells
24 Rounder is whooping $9.99!

Buy 2 or 3 or 10! and you are set for TTAC or any CQB, I guarantee it. As long as you trained your shot well you can hit people

Now I regret not keeping two for myself to go "Lone Ranger" style

Skladfin September 10th, 2008 17:05

awesome

do those things pass customs?

Skladfin September 10th, 2008 17:06

wait, they probably do

Dao September 10th, 2008 17:09

Hey Steve, do you know if they ship via USPS to Canada?

Skladfin September 10th, 2008 17:19

fires inconsistent on double action. 190~230 FPS on double action and 280 consistant on single action.

wonder why

cbcsteve September 10th, 2008 18:52

That we will have to investigate someday

As for USPS I am unsure

Best to email the guys Dao, sometimes they are nice and do USPS, as for the passing shipment I am sure it can just tell them to remove anything that says "GUN". Like HFC 24 Rounds is what it is and should be named that

HFC Revolver Rounds, now that will screw you over
