Umarex T4E TR 68 Gen2 Paintball Marker Revolver in Black

The Umarex T4E TR 68 Gen2 Paintball Marker in Black is a distinctive .68 calibre CO2-powered revolver-style marker designed for recreational paintball and suitable training applications. Although its tactical appearance puts it alongside modern revolver designs visually, it is important to note that the TR 68 is a .68 calibre T4E marker rather than a conventional 6mm airsoft pistol. This second-generation model builds on the established TR platform with Umarex's Quick-Piercing System 2.0, an improved fibre-optic front sight and a convenient pressure-release arrangement. At 331mm long and approximately 773g, it is a substantial piece of kit, but the relatively lightweight construction keeps that sizeable .68 calibre format surprisingly manageable.

Starting at the front, the Gen2 features a 170mm barrel and an extended sighting radius. The longer barrel arrangement suits the proportions of the TR 68 nicely, while the updated fibre-optic front sight gives you a bright, easily identified reference point when bringing the marker onto a suitable target. The upper section has also been shaped with cut-outs that reduce unnecessary material and expose parts of the barrel underneath. It gives the TR 68 a purposeful appearance without simply covering the entire thing in extra bulk.

Accessory mounting is handled by integrated Picatinny rails, giving the marker mounting space for compatible sporting and training accessories where appropriate. The rail arrangement is neatly incorporated into the overall shape rather than looking like an afterthought. Combined with the long barrel, prominent sights and revolver-style cylinder area, it gives the TR 68 Gen2 an appearance somewhere between a conventional revolver and a dedicated tactical paintball marker. It's certainly not going to be mistaken for a pocket pistol.

At the centre of the marker is a five-round rotary magazine designed for compatible .68 calibre T4E ammunition, including suitable roundballs and precisionballs. The rotary layout keeps loading straightforward and complements the revolver-style design nicely. Different T4E projectile types are intended for different lawful sporting and training applications, so ammunition should always be selected in accordance with Umarex's compatibility guidance and the rules of the venue where the marker is being used. This is not designed for standard 6mm airsoft BBs.

Power comes from a single 12g CO2 capsule housed within the grip. One of the main improvements on the Gen2 model is Umarex's Quick-Piercing System 2.0, which is designed to keep an installed capsule unpierced until the system is deliberately activated. This helps avoid leaving the marker continuously pressurised during storage. The updated system also incorporates a pressure-release function that makes depressurising the marker and dealing with a spent capsule more convenient. Umarex quotes approximately 18 shots from a capsule, although temperature and operating conditions can affect CO2 performance.

The trigger system is double-action only, keeping operation mechanically straightforward, while an automatic trigger safety provides an additional safety feature during normal handling. There is no gas blowback mechanism or cycling slide to consume CO2, so the system can concentrate its available gas on propelling the loaded projectile. That simplicity also means fewer major moving components during each shot, which suits a marker intended to provide dependable, repeatable operation.

Despite the substantial .68 calibre format, the TR 68 Gen2 weighs approximately 773g. Its revolver-inspired grip and 331mm overall length create a very different handling experience from either a conventional paintball marker or a compact airsoft gun. The large rotary magazine area sits centrally in the design, while the extended barrel puts useful length ahead of the hand without turning the platform into a full-sized long gun. For target use and organised paintball environments, it provides something genuinely different from the usual marker layout.

Overall, the Umarex T4E TR 68 Gen2 is best viewed as a specialised .68 calibre CO2 marker rather than an oversized airsoft revolver. The second-generation upgrades address practical areas of the original design, particularly CO2 activation, pressure release and sight acquisition, while retaining the five-shot rotary magazine and straightforward double-action operation. Add the 170mm barrel, Picatinny accessory mounting and compatibility with appropriate T4E .68 calibre ammunition, and you have an unusual recreational and training platform with plenty of character. As a sub-7.5 Joule marker, it should always be used responsibly in an appropriate environment and in accordance with applicable rules and local law.
