The T4E HDB is a smaller, semi-automatic shotgun that houses one 12gr Co2 cart and has a sleek design without a stock. It holds 16 rounds and features MLOK and Picatinny rails giving you the ability to add a flashlight or laser. One of the main pros of the HDB is its compact size, making it easy to handle. However, it may have a lower number of shots available, especially at high FPS, compared to the HDX.

The T4E HDX is a larger, pump-action shotgun that has a stock, can hold two 12gr Co2 carts, and houses up to 50 Joules of power. This shotgun holds 16 rounds and also features MLOK and Picatinny rails giving you the ability to add a flashlight or laser. The HDX offers more shots at a higher FPS, and has the added bonus of being able to attach an ammo saddle for an additional 16 rounds. The pump-action sound of the HDX is also intimidating, making it a great choice for home defense. However, the larger size and non-adjustable stock may make it too long for some individuals.

Both shotguns hold 16 rounds and have quick piercing valves, meaning you can have ammo and Co2 in the chamber, but it's not live until you hit the valve (which is very easy to do). Ammo options, accessories and the T4E HDB and HDX shotguns are readily available at newbreedpb.com. Whether you're looking for a compact and easy-to-handle option or a larger, more intimidating shotgun for home defense. With the T4E HDB or the T4E HDX and newbreedpb.com we've have got you covered.
