Umarex T4E X-Tracer .68 — TX/HDX 68 CO₂ Self-Defense Rifle
The Umarex T4E X-Tracer .68 pairs proven T4E non-lethal platform performance with the X-Tracer muzzle module to deliver an intimidating, highly visible defensive package ideal for South African home- and vehicle-defence, security teams, and tactical training. It’s built around the familiar .68 T4E family (TX/HDX series) so you get a rugged, easy-to-operate system that fires rubber, pepper and powder rounds with convincing effect. Sports and Gadgets+1
Designed for real-world deterrence and low-light use, the X-Tracer unit lights tracer rounds and provides muzzle-flash simulation so you can see shot trajectory and increase the psychological deterrent of a single, visible shot. The unit screws onto compatible .68 T4E barrels and is USB-rechargeable — a practical add-on for night or low-visibility incidents. futurama.co.za
Powered by CO₂ and engineered for simplicity, the rifle uses 12-gram CO₂ cartridges (quick-piercing system) stored in the butt or via a 2×12g adapter depending on the model — delivering consistent power and simple maintenance in the field. The TX/HDX family is not a blowback design; it is CO₂-driven with pump/quick-pierce operation and internal magazine feed for reliable non-lethal performance. Sports and Gadgets+1
Lightweight yet robust, this package balances manoeuvrability and presence: it holds 16 rounds of .68 calibre projectiles, reaches practical defensive velocities, and ships as a ready-to-fit solution for users who want non-lethal stopping power without a firearm licence. valkendealer.com+1
