Although its overall design can be said to take some inspiration from a classic 357 or other magnum revolver, the Elite Force H8R Gen 2 is, like its predecessor the Gen 1, something of a custom design from Umarex. In fact, the H8R’s looks are pretty eye-catching. With a rather chunky frame, top and button integrated rails, vent ribs, low-rise fiber...
Build-quality and construction
Rather unusually for an airsoft revolver (and especially one designed for CO2), the Elite Force H8R is made mostly of plastic. The body of the gun is made of pretty high-quality nylon-reinforced polymer, while the internals are mostly metal. As a result, the H8R is pretty light and easy to handle, yet feels quite solid and durable in-hand. Although we wouldn’t necessarily use it to hammer nails on the range, it should be capable of standing up to most of the rough handling and knocks that a t...
Performance and accuracy
Overall, and somewhat unusually for a CO2, the Elite Force H8R is a pretty well-balanced and versatile gun that can, in our opinion, be a pretty good all-around choice of sidearm…at least as far as airsoft revolvers go. The H8R is capable of delivering around 330 FPS using 0.20g BBs, which is decent enough for outdoor games while still being able to be used in CQB and indoor fields where stricter FPS limits may apply. The Generation 2 H8R, largely thanks to its adjustable hop up, is also fair...
Handling and feel
By and large, and despite its rather beefy dimensions, the Elite Force H8R is actually pretty comfortable and easy to handle. At around 10 inches long, the gun can be a bit bulky and it’s not always easy to find holdster for it. But, at around 1.5 lbs, the H8R is quite light, does feel very good to hold, and its size does provide it with a fair intimidation factor on the field that shouldn’t be discounted. As we mentioned earlier, the H8R’s interior does include a couple metal weights (one un...
The Elite Force H8R is designed to be a pretty low-maintenance airsoft gun, and doesn’t generally require a whole lot of maintenance other than cleaning the barrel and externals and occasionally applying a light amount of lubricant to the trigger hinge and gas valve. That said, if you do want to take the gun down (to do some more involved maintenan...
The Elite Force H8R Gen 2 is fairly generous with its magazines, coming with five plastic round disk magazines, each of which can hold 10 BBs. The mags are proprietary and specific to the H8R line, so there’s not much in the way of mag or shell compatibility with this gun. That said, due to the popularity of the H8R series, it is pretty easy to fin...
Note: All prices correct as of writing, all prices in USD. The Elite Force H8R Gen 2 is actually a pretty affordable CO2 airsoft revolver. Typically coming in around $80-90, it is a little less expensive to buy than many of its more immediate and well-known competitors, such as the ASG Dan Wesson 715s, a WG Nagant, or an Elite Force Smoke Wagon. Fo...
Affordable
Often sold for less than $90, the Elite Force H8R is an affordable airsoft revolver that is significantly less expensive than other well-known models out there. Combined with its easily sourced and relatively cheap magazines, it shouldn’t be too much of a burden to buy and use.
Well made
The Elite Force H8R is made of high-quality nylon-reinforced plastics and high quality metal internals. The Gen 2 comes with nice ergonomic grips and has been upgraded to include an adjustable hop up and fiber optic-style sights. More than this, the gun has been fitted together nicely and showed no signs of creaking, bending or looseness when handled.
Well-balanced power
Although the H8R is a CO2-powered airsoft revolver, it avoids the pitfalls of many of its competitors by being relatively reasonable (and usable) with its power output. The gun chronos at around 330 FPS on average and so can be used at both outdoor events and in CQB/indoor games where stricter, sub-400 FPS limits may apply.
Uses proprietary parts
The Elite Force H8R is not a Tokyo Marui spec gun and does include a variety of proprietary parts and designs. Although popular, there aren’t quite as many replacement parts or upgrades commercially available for it as there can be with a more traditional airsoft pistol choice, such as a 1911 clone.
Doesn’t have the same revolver feel and handling as some others
Although it is more convenient and practical to use in a game, the Elite Force H8R doesn’t operate the same way as most airsoft revolvers and there is something to be said for the mechanical thrill and intrinsic cool of using airsoft shells.
If we have to be honest, airsoft revolvers are something of a nice item in the airsoft world and, much as in the real steel world, will never really have the sheer practicality of a semi-auto sidearm. That said, if you are looking for a revolver that can actually do well in an airsoft game, the Elite Force H8R Gen 2 might be just what you’re lookin...
Constructed mostly from durable polymer with metal components and internals, the Gen 2 H8R Gas Revolver is extremely durable against drops and shock while remaining realistically weighted.
