These are great rifles! You can wonder how much difference it is to insert a pellet yourself then loading it from the magazine but it is so much more easy. There is one extra thing to keep in mind when shooting these, make sure you are not dry firing them but as well that you don't double load them. When you broke the barrel and not taking the shot directly you "forgot" and break the barrel again adding an extra pellet in the barrel. This is now solved with the new inertial magazines from Gamo. These where only available on the Replay 10x Magnum but with the Gen3 now being announced (Speedster Gen3) they seem to come with the inertial magazine as well. This magazine will only rotate to the next pellet after the rifle is actually fired. Thanks Andy for the video and good shooting.

I've always been a pcp enthusiast only ever owning one break barrel when I was a child. Upon seeing this and other reviews next payday I am so getting this rifle!
@geedub79122 жыл бұрын
I purchased it about a year ago, in .22. I can nail a quarter at 25/30 yards no problem. It's great for backyard plinking or pest control at that range and still has pretty good knock down power beyond that if you can hit it. It took care of a pesty raccoon with one well placed shot. As you probably already know; it's in a different category than a pcp but the challenge makes up for it and it's a lot of fun. One word of advice; clean the barrel first!!!! It comes all gummed up with shipping anti-rust stuff. Enjoy!!!!

@@geedub7912 thanks for the info and advice. Unfortunately for us folk across the pond we're restricted to sub 12 ft lbs/16 Joules of muzzle energy unless you have a fire arms licence so I'll be going for the .177 since it has a flatter pellet trajectory and with the right pellets .177 is more suitable than .22 at this muzzle energy. I've owned many a pcp rifle over the year's, but only have my trusty BSA Scorpion SE and my Umarex Reign at the moment, oh and my POS Nova Vista neupump. The Scorpion is accurate but the Reign is on another level! I get head shot on Rabbit out at 50 to 60 yards without even trying it's that accurate! And the Nova, well, it's a paperweight. Also been eyeing the Evanix AR6K

I recently bought a Roadster and within 30 shots fired the mechanism which works the magazine became unlinked. I took it back to the seller who quickly corrected the fault and I returned home with it.Within another 50 shots fired it became unlinked twice. I followed the procedure the seller had done but I was not happy about continuing with using it. I’m returning it to the seller who has accepted my return. I checked with another well known Air gun retailer who said “. I have stopped selling that particular model

I like your reviews as it is usually simple, but thorough. This time you failed to mention three attributes: 1) The scope mount has a patented "shock wave reducer" to protect the scope against the harmful effects of the springer action. 2) I believe these models have been fitted with the new "gass springs" and no longer have a physical coiled spring, which means it can be stored loaded without harm to the spring. 3) The gen 2 magazine has a built in mechanism that will only load the next pellet if the previous one had been fired, so no double loading possible anymore. Kindly pardon my terminology as it may not be the same as used by Gamo, but the meaning is the same.

Got the Gamo swarm maxim elite last year. 1st time I've done any real plinking since our house got burgled when I was about 12 yrs old when they took my Webley Vulcan & my dad's BSA Airsporter... 30 yrs ago. Was extremely happy with my new purchase and although not used through winter at all, I did put about 1000 pellets through it between August & October! (me and my nephew) The magazine system adds a whole new dimension of fun for airgun break barrel shooting in my opinion. Looking forward to getting out when the time is right over next few weeks. I found it accurate, (10 shots in an inch at 20 yards, the occasional flyer,may have been the pellets or me) consistent , hits quite hard. If I had a complaint then the trigger is perhaps half a pound, maybe a full pound heavier than what I would consider perfect for me, though in fairness I haven't as yet tinkered/adjusted it & read somewhere it can be adjusted quite a bit (or quite a lot by replacing a standard screw for a longer one), so as yet is perhaps an unfair criticism if it has the potential for adjustment! Good fun for certain!

Thanks for your nice in-depth reviews! Just bought the Gamo IGT Swarm Magnum Pro 10X Gen3i in .22. I'm very pleased with it, shooting narrow groups at 15 to 50 meters. Been plinking for fun in my garden a lot and doing some decent pest control by killing a lot of rats lately. I got the IGT uncapped version, as there's luckily no restriction on any type of airguns at all in The Netherlands.😀 BTW this .22 has loads of power and is capable of shooting straight through my 2cm thick garden fence as I found out when my neighbors told me why there suddenly peepholes appeared in our garden fence 🤭 The main reason for buying a break-barrel is that you don't need compressors, scuba diving tanks or high-powered hand pumps to shoot an air gun wherever I would like to go.

Had a look at these last friday at VA but settled on the gen 1 barracade as I prefered the style and grip. Might get one of these in the future, as I'm a fan of Gamo rifles and have never had a single issue with them and the supplied scope is surprisingly clear, making it useable right out of the box, which makes it cheaper than a lot of rifles that have a slightly lower price tag but no included scope.

Just tried out my new G2 Swarm Maxxim this morning. Using H&N 9.57gr Field Trophy Green I got an average 943fps for 5 shots. So far my only criticism is with the scope tube clamp screws. I had two of them shear while bringing them to snug (did not feel I was overtightening). But scope seems to be holding okay with the other 6. Still more testing to do but was happy with accuracy at this early stage. More Gamo pellets on the way to judge their accuracy and velocity. Hopefully this rifle will hold up over time.

I've got a Gamo Speedster Gen 2 (in .22) and it's a brilliant air rifle except for the fact that it comes with a stupid fake muzzle break. Another thing that annoyed me when I first got it was the scope - it just didn't work for me so I got rid of it and stuck a Gamo red dot sight on it which has been better than a scope so far. Also I think the Gamo Speedster Gen 2s were supposed to be gas ram (?) and mine for some reason was a Springer despite the fact I ordered it brand new (about £220). Also the "inbuilt suppressor" clearly doesn't work simply because it's a barrel shroud.

Morning Andy, nice rifles and a good review as usual. The only problem I can see with them is as happened with you and you don’t keep count and cock on an empty chamber. Firing a springer without a pellet in the barrel can damage the front of the piston as there is nothing to slow it down, causing it to crash against the end of the chamber. So it is very important to keep an eye on your remaining rounds. I have a Baikal IZH61 side lever spring gun which has a 5 shot magazine and at 6ftlb with a very light weight and adjustable stock makes a great little back yard plinker very suitable for teaching youngsters to shoot.

Using the Hatsan factory supplied iron sights I can hit a little better at the same distance (105 feet) than I can hit with the Maxim with it's factory supplied scope. I think if I could find a peep sight for the pistol I could hit a little better than with the factory sights. And I've tried several different brands and weights of pellets in the Maxim. My Maxim is a real disappointment. If you get one I hope yours works a lot better than mine.

Just bought one in .177 caliber and while sighting it in I couldn’t adjust the scope. Called Gamo and they have another scope on the way free without returning the original. No iron sights can be fitted to the scope version I have according to Gamo. I only mention that because I’m told that the scopes really take a pounding from the spring piston action and don’t last long. I can’t imagine that Gamo will keep replacing scopes free every time they fail. So an iron sight backup would be nice but then the 10 round magazine would have to be moved ??? Who designs these things anyway? And it’s not as quiet as I was lead to believe. I guess the other Gamo models are much louder. 🙉

@KlipsenTube2 жыл бұрын
I fairly recently shot a rat with an underpowered Gamo that I've had for years. It screamed in pain and fear, and then ran off. Not wanting to repeat that failure, I bought the most powerful Gamo breakbarrel I could find in 4.5 mm (which - in Denmark, at least - can be bought by anyone over 18 without a license, and does not need to be locked in a safe when not in use). That was the Replay 10 Magnum Gen2, which delivers 36-45 Joules (25.5-33.2 ft/lbs). The reason I chose a breakbarrel was, of course, price. Now, there's a catch to all that power: I struggle to load it! I see people on KZbin break that barrel sitting down, but I need to stand with the gun on my shoe or on the ground - and put all my weight into the fight to lock the piston in place. Then one day I saw that I could get a Gamo GX-40 Whisper - with pump - for half the price I thougt pcp's would cost. Still, twice as expensive as that breakbarrel on sale, but not three or four times ... and with added benefits, notably being able to reload with a flick of the wrist, and also reloading while lying down. Naturally, this requires some preparation, and one must always be near a pump with the correct nipple - and the ability to deliver 200 bars of pressure. But, apart from the fact that I still haven't had a chance to fire a single pellet, I'm convinced that it was the right decision. Compared to my breakbarrel, it "only" delivers 27-40 Joules (19.9-29.5 ft/lbs), but I don't shoot rats at 100 metres or more, probably at 10 metres or less, so if I eventually hit one, it will neither scream nor run.
