CAN .177 GAMO Magnum SHOOT THROUGH METAL?!?! - Swarm GEN3i

[@MrJeepm38]

Using my gamo magnum. I found like you did that the gamo lethal is best followed by the rws power ball. The gamo rocket came in third.

[@m9078jk3]

Good thing that I stocked up on a lot of Gamo Lethals a year ago. Now you're interesting me a lot In the Magnum Swarm Gen3i ,177.

[@adventuringwithjimboslice5278]

Man I still love my gen 2 I have taken everything from squirrel to coyote with it. One hell of a breaker

[@kendalabarca6707]

Como siempre Excelente Video!!! Muchas Gracias Ben por su Gran Trabajo aquí en KZbin. Siempre brindando información y prácticas de tiro tan interesantes, además de que nos muestras las características de buena armas de aire como este lindo Gamo Magnum Swarm Gen 3. Bravo!!! Apoyo TOTAL para Ben y su Gran Canal aquí....🙏🏻😌👍👏👏👏✌️

I need to get some Lethal pellets. Gamo piston air rifles are impressive. I have an original Whisper Bone Collector. 1300fps

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

I've never tried it with a .177, but there's an old goat pen on the edge of my property, about 75 yards from where I usually shoot, and with most of my .22 air rifles, they just punch straight through the corrugated steel siding on it, and that's some pretty hefty stuff, thicker than the metal you're popping in this video. First time I put a hole in it was with my Gamo Shadow Express, using a round ball.

[@kenfan5666]

Hey Ben, Thanks for this excellent video on the Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 3i in .177. you've probably already gotten this request, but in case you haven't, please do a comparison between heavy slugs and pellets at different distances with the Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 3i in .177, and compare its groups to the Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 3i in. 22 with slugs and pellets at different distances. Thanks again. Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.

[@untiedshoelaces2588]

My Replay Magnum can put a .177 PBA pellet through a 2" phone book at 10 meters. Never tried it with a lot of different types. Maybe about six different types. Out of those I chose two that have continued to give me incredible results at both hunting and plinking.

[@georgeloveless4176]

I have one of the older model Gamo Magnums 177 caliber and unfortunately I dont shoot it often. I like the gun, but its loud and the cocking effort is brutal. I'm not a weak person, but after a day in the woods with it, my arms were toast! Another well done video...thanks for your work.

[@mikefisher1629]

I have one of those too. I got it when they discontinued them for the swarm. Very loud because of 1650 FPS with no baffle. I'm a body builder so I don't find the cocking effort that difficult but you are not going to stealth the squirrels in the backyard with this thing. It sounds like a .22 rimfire. Gamo redfire pellets will go right through squirrels no problem.

[@woofman4796]

the sides and top are of a thinner gauge, the bottom and faceplate are usually heavier, and, depending on the brand, there is usually a heat sink along the backside of the faceplate

[@alessandromatteo8365]

Have you done the Gen 3i Swarm Fusion.177 cal ... I've not seen the pellet test ... I'm in WV different altitude but we love to shoot as much as you do .. great videos...

[@cagondena]

Hello, I guarantee that if you do a penetration test with all your pellets the Gamo Lethal will always be on top, they only have one rival and only in certain circumstances at this moments, which is the prometheus, the 2 are plastic skirt. Although I prefer the Gamo Lethal, "salut" and thanks for the video.

[@beastmode2990]

Try prometheus 5.5 my magnum loves them and they have a steel point head with a plastic body they sure penetrate things easy

[@montizzlefoshizzle7131]

The gamo lethals are beast mode even in the smaller pistols like the crosman SNR and vigilante.

[@humor62]

Nice comparison test, what's the name of the plastic pellets that did the best? Thank You!

[@tortugasconalex1213]

Luego de admirar tanto los gamo lethal lo patrocina gamo buen video

[@cell_creator]

Gamo Lethals are amazing! Do you know how many mm is the transfer port on the .177 Swarm? Thanks!

[@timstar28]

Have you done this test with the 22 ? I'd like to see the FPS on the different types of ammo with the .22 and I'm sure the .22 would cut right through that metal lol I had my M4 177 out yesterday using the premier hollow points and they were cutting through a pretty thick baking pan, so I can't imagine what the gamo can do. I'm definitely getting the gamo before summer, I just take forever to make a final decision. I'm split between the 177 or 22.

[@hrjc]

get the 22, hits harder and more accurate for longer distances, also quieter

[@Livengoodhunting]

What do you think the best hunting ammo is for this gun? I’m buying it tomorrow

[@zdenekoldrichmarek2867]

the plastic protects your rifle and may even work a little like a sabot ?

[@MikBar-nj8jq]

Can you try 177 hornet pellets

[@johndoee3850]

What was the highest pellet FPS, in 177cal, thanks

[@pepersalt7777]

Love the testing. Can you also test it on a Slaughterd cow ore pork head see how deep it will go. Nice stuff

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Great suggestion!

[@bobybaba5267]

Thank for another great review man , did you have any issues with putting gamo lethal in the mag ? Like they look very long

[@onlinedaterdestroyer1347]

The letal gamo are no joke those are super letal in hard things or metal

[@mikebenoit6648]

I have the 22caliber Hatson Blitz can these go through metal in the Hatson Blitz

[@ShootingGearReviews]

most likely

[@lamardaniels6625]

Quick question....I used my RugerAirHawk Elite2. 177cal with a 10gr. Pellets that was up in a tree about 45 yards away...the crow had the pellet for breakfast 🤣....then flew off (smh)...So my question is can this .22cal GamoSwarm Magnum G3, drop a crow within the same yards I tried to take the other crow out but failed 😔 with my RugerAirHawk?????... HONESTLY ANSWER PLEASE, and the best Pellet for it? THANKS FOR YA HONESTY RESPONSE BRO!

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Iv killed crows with my Gamo Magnum. Iv also watched a few fly off after being hit. They are a tough bird. I once hit one with a 35 cal in the gut and it flew away. The biggest thing is to get a head shot. With that a Gamo Magnum would take it down for sure. I’d recommend the Gamo rocket pellets or the JSB Hades in the Magnum for hunting.

[@jale.n7949]

Try some different pellets maybe. Ive had problems with penetration on targets in the past as well. The hades pellets that ben usually usses, work very well across the board, not only for acuraccy, but for penetration as well.

[@jean-claudelaboy9679]

Shot placement is key regardless of what pellet you're using, find what pellet is most accurate out of your airgun and stick with it.

[@evanlucas8734]

@@ShootingGearReviews are those pellets the best for magum .22 as well ?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

@@evanlucas8734 I was talking about the 22. The 177 likes different pellets.

[@bronsonwisdom8094]

The gamo rockets always done best for me, 20 yards it penatrates a microwave

[@johndoee3850]

Thanks

[@ShootingGearReviews]

No problem

[@rushzeen]

unfortunately there's no gamo lethal in 5.5 size. what's the reason?

[@Liamisdead99]

The .177 is going faster, giving it better metal piercing capabilities than 22

[@rushzeen]

@@Liamisdead99 i think .22 gamo lethal would be a good choice among other brands, i am sure it would penetrate.

[@P43LO70]

Too much dangerous. I think.

My GAMO P900 IGT w crossman premier pointed pellets goes thru tin cans I seriously doubt the plate used in 90s audio equipment casing is any thicker You need to get 1/8 in plate instead

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

Ben thanks for the test makes ya want one of these . What air gun an caliber do you hunt most with ? Small game You new nick name “BOA “

[@ShootingGearReviews]

I hunt the most with 22. For my needs it’s the most versatile. I can use a more powerful gun (or tune) and get the farther range shots/bigger game or use a les powerful gun/tune and hunt close range/smaller game.

[@tonyd4346]

My daughter has been using Crossman premier 10.5 grain dome pellets in her new swarm Gen 3i. She’s getting 1.5-2” groupings at 50 yards consistently. At that distance, they are passing through 3/4” pine and lodging in the OSB behind that. We’ll be experimenting with metal shortly.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

Rockets can bounce on *wood* haha Unsure about armor...

[@antrock2155]

I shoot through quarters with my gamo wisper fusion using the gamo lethal pellets...

[@christiannorris7673]

do you have any velocities on the lethals ?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Those were the first shot over the chronograph. I put the picture of what I was shooting in the lower corner of the video. Go back and check it out again and rewatch that chronograph section.

[@Liamisdead99]

1493, 1527, err, 1522

do u consider foxes coyote racoons opossum small hogs, small game!! lol cuz it can kill those too !!! that 177 lead free is no joke.

[@gmanneod8085]

Dude YT took down my comments because I said the Lethal pellets were on sale at Gamo's website.

[@ShootingGearReviews]

dude. lame.

[@2c-BA]

Sorry to point out, but velocities are much higher at elevated altitudes due to the fact that the air is much thinner the higher up you are. And conversely, a lower altitudes or at sea level the air is thicker and thus cause more friction on moving objects, slowing them down in contrast to a mile high altitude. Just thought you should know. Thanks for the great review!

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Please read this ENTIRE reply. You are only half correct. It works that way with firearms/real bullets. But think about it… with the thinner air a break barrel will have less power because the power is created by the spring or gas ram pushing the ambient air. If the air is thinner the ram will generate less power. I have tested this extensively. I don’t just say things without actually knowing what I am talking about.

[@junglie]

i'll stick to jsb or any other quality lead diabolo's, i like to hit what i'm aiming at & don't shoot any armour plated rabbits.....lol
