  1. Beanshell Sampler supports everything which you're capable of implementing in Beanshell language so you're limited only by your imagination and/or skills
  2. Since JMeter 3.1 you're supposed to be using JSR223 Test Elements and Groovy language instead of Beanshell so if you're at early stages of JMeter scripting assessment consider switching to JSR223 Sampler and Groovy language, it's better choice from at least performance perspective
  3. As per OSI model HTTP is an application level protocol (level 7) and TCP is a transport level protocol (level 4) hence any HTTP response will be TCP response (using TCP protocol as underlying transport) so you will get a TCP response in any case. So it makes sense to send a HTTP request using TCP Sampler (or HTTP Raw Request sampler), this way you will "wait" for a TCP response.
