Accuracy: I put a couple of rounds using rubber ball paintballs which are heavier than standard paintballs, and my first shot yielded 180 FPS. My second shot was slightly higher at 184 FPS, close to the claimed 200 FPS and that was in not the warmest of environments since the temperature was only 16°C (60°F). Since there are no actual sights on the shotgun, I had to eyeball it and as I shot it more and more I was able to get my shots closer to the center of the target. The T4E HDS is not a tac driver but at 30 feet out you should be able to hit an 8-10 inch target pretty consistently. I don’t recommend using the double shot option since the same amount of CO2 is applied to both rounds that would normally be applied to one round, decreasing the FPS by about half, making the paintball rounds shoot a lot slower and not really being that effective.

Comments: All in all I had a lot of fun shooting the Umarex T4E HDS Double Barrel CO2 Paintball Shotgun. It’s kind of like a big boy Nerf Gun that you can take onto the paintball field if you wanted to. For home defense, I think it's a bit underpowered but there may be a little bit of shock factor that could slow someone down or deter them enough to either give you time to get away or take shelter. Maybe using the pepper rounds would work in this situation? Either way, the Umarex T4E HDS Shotgun is a really cool and unique CO2 airgun that isn't overly expensive and a welcome addition to anyairgun enthusiast's collection.
