Umarex

Umarex Air Pistols, T4E Launchers and BB Guns in South Africa

Umarex is German and holds the licences for a large share of the replica airgun market, which is why a Glock, a Beretta or a Colt in 4.5mm almost always comes from them. Alongside that sits T4E, their less-lethal line, which uses .50 and .68 calibre projectiles for training and personal protection. NeonSales carries 133 Umarex products, from R190 for an 88g CO2 cartridge up to R4,805 for a Glock 17 Gen5.

Three different product families

Family Ammunition Purpose
Licensed CO2 replicas 4.5mm steel BBs or pellets Target shooting, plinking, familiarisation with a specific pistol
Airsoft 6mm plastic BBs Skirmish play against other participants wearing protection
T4E .50 and .68 calibre projectiles Training and personal protection, marking and impact rounds

These are not interchangeable in any direction. Ammunition, energy levels and intended use all differ, so check which family a product belongs to before ordering consumables for it.

Understanding the joule ratings on T4E

T4E products are rated in joules, and the number tells you the energy delivered. The HDR50 and HDP50 sit at 11J, the TP50 and TR50 Gen2 at 13J, and the HDR68 at 16J. Higher energy means more effect on impact and, correspondingly, more consideration about where and how it is used. The .68 calibre HDR68 is the largest projectile in the range and the highest rated.

Buy magazines and CO2 with the launcher

A T4E revolver with one magazine is a slow proposition, since reloading is the main interruption. HDR50 magazines are stocked singly and in two packs, and the two pack is the sensible purchase. The 88g threaded CO2 cartridges are what the larger launchers run on, and they are consumed considerably faster than 12g powerlets.

Common questions

Are the Glock models actually licensed? Yes. Umarex holds manufacturer licences, which is why the markings, dimensions and controls match the firearm. That is what makes them useful for familiarisation.

What is the difference between Gen 3 and Gen 5? They mirror the corresponding generations of the firearm, principally in frame texturing and controls. Gen 5 sits at the top of the range on price.

BB or pellet? Check the individual listing. Steel BBs suit smoothbore replicas and are cheaper. Pellets are more accurate and need a rifled barrel.

What are the legal requirements for T4E? These vary by product category and by circumstance. Confirm your own position before ordering rather than relying on general guidance.
