Super rew. A PCP does not drop in Joule when weights go up. But this break barrel does. 8,44/1090 = 30,2 J 10,34/988 = 30,4 J 13,43/742 = 22,3 J 16,20/670 = 21,9 J slugs. 13,43/798 = 23,1 J 15,00/673 = 20,1 J So 10 grains +/- seems to be "the magic number" ..
just picked up the same gun and I thought I was going crazy when the ammo was falling out too. I don't understand why this happens, it's such a flaw especially when you're hunting game and that shot is supposed to count but no the bullet didn't load from the start.... kind of a let down but I guess that's why its not on the same level as pcps.
Thanks for the great entertainment. I know that mentioned GAMO air rifle, from a son-in-law who was so unlucky and buy it in delusion. It will never shoot better than a cheap Chinese broken spring, no matter what ammo you fill in it. Both me and my wife can shoot 10 pellets groups of less than 9 mm at 25 meters with FX diabolo/JSB exact diabolo of 8.44 grain with an incredible speed of 322 m/s (1056 fps) in our new Air Venturi Avenger cal .177. The speed at which it takes place is absolutely insane. Tonight I will try if it is possible and imitate the art with our FX Impact M3. Good luck at 50 meters with the GAMO. Do not forget to be very very far away from everything. 😉

Hi, I have a gamo fast shot igt and I zero the scope at 30 meters and tomorrow when I shot again, the gun is not grupping anymore and I have again to zero the scope. I also used different pellets but I have same problem. I checked and re-checked the rings of the scope, the screws an everything seems to be fine . I mention this is the 3rd scope, a Vortex . Could you give me somesugestions?
Your gun should be performing the same day after day if you are using the same ammo. Not to say anything bad about Vortex, but it could be the scope. Have you experienced a significant change in the point of impact during a session, or does it only occour over night?
@ , First scope was a Gamo, second one Vector Optica and now this one. For example on Saturday I had a good gruppage and yesterday I again had to make the scope zero. I usually use the same ammo,Jsb match diablo, 15,89 Gr and I also tried with different kind of ammo but I have the same problem . I mention that I have buyed the gun 4 months ago and I have this problem from beginning . I changed the scopes , I tried with different ammo but the problem remains . The problem appears after couple of hours/ over night . Thank you for your answer
@@VikingAirgunner selv tak! 😁 fuck da det. det du gør det sku meget godt af at det hele er på engelsk. Så er du heller ikke så begrænset til os små danskere ☺️
@@VikingAirgunner det må man sige, jeg følger ihverfald også lige med fra side linjen! Står og overvejer mit første gevær. Meeeen, jeg er usikker på hvilken en det lige skal være 😁

I don't know too much about air guns but I've the .22 version of this gun and it says its shoots at around 220ms a second, 290m with a pba pellet. Is there a way to find out roughly how many joules of power it has?
Hey man 🙂 Sure and it is quite easy. You can use an app called Bullet Energy Calculator. Enter the weight of the pellet and the speed that you measure. Not just the velocity that the manufacturer claims since you will have very different velocities using different pellets - as you can see in the test 🙂
Bro can u tell me wich is more accurate spring airgun or pcp if i will take both guns in the same price wich one will be more accurate? Pcp or spring airgun? And van u advice me if it is possible to by pcp gun under $300 that will be able to hit 5cmX5cm target at 100 yards? Wich budget gun is capable of shooting accurate for pigeons in 100 yards ?
Hi Giorgi I wish that I could give you an answer based on my own experience, but I simply dont have experience in those areas. The only gun that comes to my mind is the Venturi Avenger wich you can find for just around 300 usd. So my advise is to check it out here on UA-cam - there are lots of videos about it 🙂 I hope that you will have succes in your search Best regards Peter P
It is not my own gun and I dont remember wich brand of scope. But saddly if you want a scope that can handle the impact of the guns recoil you might have to invest in a more expensive scope. Maybe even same price as the gun itself 🙄 One that I will highly recommend is the Element Helix that has been tested up to 50 bmg. And of cause some good scope mounts aswell.
in case you can tell me if gamo 19magnium 2 is modifiable from 25 to 45, if yes where can I buy the modification? not the teovo anywhere, I have regular port give me .thank you
@@VikingAirgunner Actually, the less you touch a springer, the better. Any force you put into the stock is OK, but you have to repeat the force or the "vibration dynamics" are different. The gun is moving before the pellet leaves the barrel, so if it shakes the same, the muzzle will be in the same spot when the pellet leaves it. It is just easier to repeat "zero force" (or as close as you can get to it), than it is to repeat any force from your hands, cheek, shoulder. I got a bit longer trigger screw for my Gamo Mag 22 Gen2, and it is needed, because basically, when you are not touching the gun, it moves easily by just pulling the trigger. Your 20 yard groups will become 60 yard groups, if you let it shake its groove thing. So I just have the gun fore stock resting on my hand/forearm, my middle finger in the trigger, with my index finger along side the stock for a bit of stability, and my trigger hand grip the only force into the stock, and as little as possible. I like to feel the weight of the gun at the crotch of my thumb and fore finger, and I pull my elbow to my ribs, (to let the gun just sit a bit better). Before I pull the trigger, I push the butt stock away from my face and my shoulder. Now if you can pull the trigger with out moving the gun, you will amaze yourself with good pellets, good scope, to 80 yard 2" groups. It is not hard in the field either. Grab a branch, (or anything), and rest the fore stock on your fore arm. Every time you miss, you will remember you grabbed the gun too tight. Come on man. 20 yard tests are for sling shots. :) If you don't touch it, even the least expensive break barrel guns will amaze you to 80 yards, (assuming good pellets and everything operates as it should.).
Matt Dubber has made THE video about the subject, so without me getting into a long explaination I will advise you to check out that video on his channel: ua-cam.com/video/HpDKxVuRWto/v-deo.html Best regards Peter P
@@VikingAirgunner There is also this footage by Matt Dubber. ........ What causes Pellets to Spiral? | AB101 pt. 11: Precession & Nutation ua-cam.com/video/pR5j4aZwNH0/v-deo.html
Not true. It is just for lower power guns like break barrels that will break the sound barrier, they can only do it with very light alloy pellets that are not very stable.
If there is a trick to make the magazine function properly it would be a fine gun, but without having that much knowledge to guns in that price range I will suggest to look at other alternatives aswell 🙂
hi congratulations nice video, how many j. it's the shotgun, I'm going to buy it 25 j. x 5.5 in your opinion for this power is a 4.5 or a 5.5 better? thank you and merry christmas
If I had the fre choice and didnt have to consider licence I would go for the 5,5mm. It packs more energy so would be better for hunting. I have only tried the 4,5mm. Im happy that you liked the video. Thanks for watching and a merry christmas. Best regards Peter P
Surprised you didn't try the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum 10.5gr as it's a fairly inexpensive pellet and shoots decently straight. It is also widely available even at places like W-lmart. Great range though! I like your shelter as i'm sure it provides protection from both the elements and prying eyes.
Hey man 🙂 Thanks for your comment 🙂 There are a bunch of pellets and slugs that I would love to have tried, but these were just what I had in stock😃 But I sure that there are many that will perform well - and even better than the ones I tested. So the Crossman could easily be one of them 😎 Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate 🙂
Something is wrong here, when it comes to measuring velocity/energy: from the first pellet model to that of 16.2 grains there is a drop of 10 Joules. I wouldn't trust that FX chronometer.
I dont know if I have the right explanaition - or the full explanaition. First up the FX Chrono is very accurate when measured up against much more expensive chronographs. Go and find the videos about it and you will see. As for the energy of the gun it is roughly the same shot by shot, but not all energy is tranfered into the velocity of the ammonition. The size of the ammonition plays a big role and from a 8,44 to a 16,2 gr there is a big difference. And from pellets to slugs the difference is even bigger. Think about the surface of the ammonition that has contact to the barrel. Bigger surface - more resistance - less velocity.
@@VikingAirgunner OK, I see what you mean. But, then again, the better (tighter) contact between the pellet and the barrel means the pressurized air is more efficient (less air "leakage").
You are funny with a ruler) Spring-piston gas springs, these rifles are not about accuracy. These rifles are for fun, for punching teapots, boards, etc.
Any gun has a potential and my test is a guidance in how to explore this potential. If someone wants to shoot teapots this is no doubt a good choice, but the ture potential of the gun is well beyond.
@@VikingAirgunner I agree with you on some points, one thing I know for sure is that a weapon always shoots more accurately than the shooter himself :)
The reason why people are having trouble with their ammo falling out or damaged pellet skirts is because you have to insert pellet so that rubberband is between the head and the skirt, I use a plastic pen to seat pellet in magazine, Problem solved
@@VikingAirgunner Only thing I can think of that would lower the power on it that much would be elevation. If you don't mind me asking, what elevation were you at when doing the test?
@@VikingAirgunner Usually you would see 100+ more feet a second (if not more) with the pellets you used in the video. I am not familiar with the laws in your country, but the non-necked down versions output more power than what you showed. Air rifles are lowered to 12 foot pounds for the UK, Spain, Germany and a few other countries in Europe, so it wouldn't surprise me if where the rifle was originally sold is in one of those countries.
I guess it is time for a truth campaign for all these Professional videos touting Gamo as such excellent air rifles. The truth is Gamo is junk and none of them will ever shoot with acceptable accuracy that can be relied upon for precise humane hunting of small game. You will end up wounding more small game animals than humanely killing them. I am 67 years young and I have shot springers for over 30 years and I have several that can consistently shoot a dime sized group at 50 yards. When I pick up any Gamo and shoot it and at 25 yards the target group is a two inch group with additional flyers out to 4 or five inches, hint....it is a junk rifle. I can assure you I know how to shoot a springer, these rifles quite simply are not accurate at all. So lets look at the facts. Gamo rifles are not accurate. They will wound more animals than kill them. If shooting at only targets I would be ashamed to show how inaccurate they are on camera. Those are not acceptable and or respectable groups, they are deplorable. Awful, terrible, is there even a word for them? You can feed it any ammo you desire, none will have acceptable accuracy. This particular model is touted as having super and wonderful iron sights. The truth is that the stock comb is so high the iron sights are not usable and require a very uncomfortable slide down the side of the stock to even see the iron sights. Therefore you might as well not have them. Yes it is a powerful airgun and produces a high FPE , however it takes two men and a boy to cock it , well not really but it is hard to cock. This cocking force equates to high recoil and even with a properly mounted scope and consistent checks on all the screws and fasteners both on the rifle and the scope mounts and with the stop pin properly seated and held secure with lock-tite, after a few hundred shots you will see the scope has moved back a small amount. Closer inspection will reveal that the stop pin is eating away at the rear of the hole provided for the stop pin. The rifles receiver is not hardened at that point and eventually the stop pin will simply eat an oblong hole in the receiver. This rifle will eventually kill even an approved scope designed for air rifles. My Gamo Magnum .22 Gen Two killed a Hawke airmax scope. Hawke honored it even though I did tell them what happened to it. I still have it, really do not wish to sell it to some unsuspecting aspiring air gunner. I could dig a hole and bury it, and I have come to the conclusion this may well be the best option. Perhaps I could give it to the local police and have them melt it down. Grin! I would feel bad selling it to someone is what I am saying. So now that you have shot 500 pellets or so though this mechanical wonder you wish to clean the barrel. Good luck with this one!! There are ways to do this such as using a regular cleaning rod and or a drinking straw and weed eater string however that huge bulb permanently fixed on the end of the barrel has baffles in it that will catch and steal any patch that dares come close enough to them. This huge bulb also collects a substantial amount of lead dust within it and to clean that out requires removing the pins on the end of it and a good scrubbing with hot water and soap and an old toothbrush. That thing will be full of lead dust. I think everyone should go get themselves a Gamo, at least once in life and if it does not completely destroy your desire to participate in the sport of airgunning, it will at least show you what a junk product is really like. As you can tell I am not a paid you tube creator with the agenda to promote Gamo. Go get you one, it is an experience everyone should have at least once. Grin! Cheers Kit
@@edge6441 I always recommend the HW95 as it is an very, very accurate air rifle quite capable of dime sized groups and has a short learning curve and is easy to shoot and easy to cock and has adequate power for small game if you prefer to hunt. Another name for this rifle is Beeman R9. They can be found on sale sometimes for around 350 dollars. The difference is Gamo will leave you frustrated, where the HW will cause you to smile and start you on a long enjoyable experience with air guns. Gamo is Gamo, they are what they are and none of them ever provide acceptable accuracy. Cheers Kit

@ , First scope was a Gamo, second one Vector Optica and now this one. For example on Saturday I had a good gruppage and yesterday I again had to make the scope zero. I usually use the same ammo,Jsb match diablo, 15,89 Gr and I also tried with different kind of ammo but I have the same problem . I mention that I have buyed the gun 4 months ago and I have this problem from beginning . I changed the scopes , I tried with different ammo but the problem remains . The problem appears after couple of hours/ over night .
Thank you for your answer

I don't know too much about air guns but I've the .22 version of this gun and it says its shoots at around 220ms a second, 290m with a pba pellet. Is there a way to find out roughly how many joules of power it has?
Hey man 🙂
Sure and it is quite easy.
You can use an app called Bullet Energy Calculator. Enter the weight of the pellet and the speed that you measure. Not just the velocity that the manufacturer claims since you will have very different velocities using different pellets - as you can see in the test 🙂
Bro can u tell me wich is more accurate spring airgun or pcp if i will take both guns in the same price wich one will be more accurate? Pcp or spring airgun?
And van u advice me if it is possible to by pcp gun under $300 that will be able to hit 5cmX5cm target at 100 yards? Wich budget gun is capable of shooting accurate for pigeons in 100 yards ?
Hi Giorgi
I wish that I could give you an answer based on my own experience, but I simply dont have experience in those areas.
The only gun that comes to my mind is the Venturi Avenger wich you can find for just around 300 usd.
So my advise is to check it out here on UA-cam - there are lots of videos about it 🙂
I hope that you will have succes in your search

What optic do you use. I have the same gun and it destroys all my optics.
It is not my own gun and I dont remember wich brand of scope. But saddly if you want a scope that can handle the impact of the guns recoil you might have to invest in a more expensive scope. Maybe even same price as the gun itself 🙄
One that I will highly recommend is the Element Helix that has been tested up to 50 bmg. And of cause some good scope mounts aswell.
in case you can tell me if gamo 19magnium 2 is modifiable from 25 to 45, if yes where can I buy the modification? not the teovo anywhere, I have regular port give me .thank you
I cant imagine, but I would suggest that you contact your local Gamo dealer for the exact anwer.
Best regards
Arent u supposed to do the artillery hold on break barrels for better accuracy?
I seriously doubt that it would improve accuracy.....
@@VikingAirgunner Actually, the less you touch a springer, the better. Any force you put into the stock is OK, but you have to repeat the force or the "vibration dynamics" are different. The gun is moving before the pellet leaves the barrel, so if it shakes the same, the muzzle will be in the same spot when the pellet leaves it. It is just easier to repeat "zero force" (or as close as you can get to it), than it is to repeat any force from your hands, cheek, shoulder. I got a bit longer trigger screw for my Gamo Mag 22 Gen2, and it is needed, because basically, when you are not touching the gun, it moves easily by just pulling the trigger. Your 20 yard groups will become 60 yard groups, if you let it shake its groove thing. So I just have the gun fore stock resting on my hand/forearm, my middle finger in the trigger, with my index finger along side the stock for a bit of stability, and my trigger hand grip the only force into the stock, and as little as possible. I like to feel the weight of the gun at the crotch of my thumb and fore finger, and I pull my elbow to my ribs, (to let the gun just sit a bit better). Before I pull the trigger, I push the butt stock away from my face and my shoulder. Now if you can pull the trigger with out moving the gun, you will amaze yourself with good pellets, good scope, to 80 yard 2" groups.
It is not hard in the field either. Grab a branch, (or anything), and rest the fore stock on your fore arm. Every time you miss, you will remember you grabbed the gun too tight. Come on man. 20 yard tests are for sling shots. :)
If you don't touch it, even the least expensive break barrel guns will amaze you to 80 yards, (assuming good pellets and everything operates as it should.).
Which mike your using brother? And camera
Gopro hero 10 and a Röde mic 🙂
@@VikingAirgunner thanx
I hear once you go over 1,000 feet per second you break the sound barrier and destabilise the pellet or slug.
Matt Dubber has made THE video about the subject, so without me getting into a long explaination I will advise you to check out that video on his channel: ua-cam.com/video/HpDKxVuRWto/v-deo.html
Best regards

@@VikingAirgunner Yeah, I watched the Matt Dubber video a while ago.
@@VikingAirgunner There is also this footage by Matt Dubber. ........ What causes Pellets to Spiral? | AB101 pt. 11: Precession & Nutation ua-cam.com/video/pR5j4aZwNH0/v-deo.html
Not true. It is just for lower power guns like break barrels that will break the sound barrier, they can only do it with very light alloy pellets that are not very stable.
@@EarthSurferUSA Utter nonsense, it has nothing to do whether it is a break barrel or not.
Do you recommend this air gun for a casual user?
If there is a trick to make the magazine function properly it would be a fine gun, but without having that much knowledge to guns in that price range I will suggest to look at other alternatives aswell 🙂
I see that is the. 177 if you can get the 22 gen 2 and use the h & n hornets
Thats good info 🙂
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Good nice
Good nice
how much joule power has this rifle?
I think it is 36 j.
hi congratulations nice video, how many j. it's the shotgun, I'm going to buy it 25 j. x 5.5 in your opinion for this power is a 4.5 or a 5.5 better? thank you and merry christmas
If I had the fre choice and didnt have to consider licence I would go for the 5,5mm. It packs more energy so would be better for hunting.
I have only tried the 4,5mm.
Im happy that you liked the video. Thanks for watching and a merry christmas.

Surprised you didn't try the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum 10.5gr as it's a fairly inexpensive pellet and shoots decently straight. It is also widely available even at places like W-lmart. Great range though! I like your shelter as i'm sure it provides protection from both the elements and prying eyes.
Hey man 🙂
Thanks for your comment 🙂
There are a bunch of pellets and slugs that I would love to have tried, but these were just what I had in stock😃
But I sure that there are many that will perform well - and even better than the ones I tested. So the Crossman could easily be one of them 😎
Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate 🙂
Broh witch caliber ??? 4.5 or 5.5
4,5mm 🙂
Set the telecope firth
Personally I prefer the JSB Hades
People have different experiences with Hades, but good info that your experiences are positive 🙂
Thanks for sharing 👍
Something is wrong here, when it comes to measuring velocity/energy: from the first pellet model to that of 16.2 grains there is a drop of 10 Joules. I wouldn't trust that FX chronometer.
I dont know if I have the right explanaition - or the full explanaition.
First up the FX Chrono is very accurate when measured up against much more expensive chronographs. Go and find the videos about it and you will see.
As for the energy of the gun it is roughly the same shot by shot, but not all energy is tranfered into the velocity of the ammonition. The size of the ammonition plays a big role and from a 8,44 to a 16,2 gr there is a big difference. And from pellets to slugs the difference is even bigger. Think about the surface of the ammonition that has contact to the barrel. Bigger surface - more resistance - less velocity.
@@VikingAirgunner OK, I see what you mean. But, then again, the better (tighter) contact between the pellet and the barrel means the pressurized air is more efficient (less air "leakage").
@@DrAgan_tortojed Agree! And that is also why a damaged pellet will have a slower velocity 🙂
how much joule?
36
@@VikingAirgunner very nice part is already ordered
You are funny with a ruler) Spring-piston gas springs, these rifles are not about accuracy. These rifles are for fun, for punching teapots, boards, etc.
Any gun has a potential and my test is a guidance in how to explore this potential. If someone wants to shoot teapots this is no doubt a good choice, but the ture potential of the gun is well beyond.
@@VikingAirgunner I agree with you on some points, one thing I know for sure is that a weapon always shoots more accurately than the shooter himself :)

Not the best place to shoot. Lots of houses around. But it's good if the neighbors understand.

@@VikingAirgunner okay then😛
@Samson No problems.
Don't shoot the house.
The reason why people are having trouble with their ammo falling out or damaged pellet skirts is because you have to insert pellet so that rubberband is between the head and the skirt,
I use a plastic pen to seat pellet in magazine,
Problem solved
Thats useable info Paolo!!! Thank you for sharing - might help alot of people 🤗
Your model must've been necked down to a lower power than the normal ones, those velocities are not normal for a 4.5mm
Im sure it is very normal.
@@VikingAirgunner Only thing I can think of that would lower the power on it that much would be elevation. If you don't mind me asking, what elevation were you at when doing the test?
@@VikingAirgunner Usually you would see 100+ more feet a second (if not more) with the pellets you used in the video. I am not familiar with the laws in your country, but the non-necked down versions output more power than what you showed. Air rifles are lowered to 12 foot pounds for the UK, Spain, Germany and a few other countries in Europe, so it wouldn't surprise me if where the rifle was originally sold is in one of those countries.
@@xdskroot7247 the airguns are not limited in Denmark 👍
@@xdskroot7247 Im at sea level.
This is the 1650fps
I dont know what is says on the box, but it depends on the type and weight of the ammo used as my test shows.
I know. 22 version only shoots at 750 fps with ur gun
@@TOOREAL-qj2lj 750 fps is way better for accuracy than 1650 anyway 😃
I need heavy impact
I guess it is time for a truth campaign for all these Professional videos touting Gamo as such excellent air rifles.
The truth is Gamo is junk and none of them will ever shoot with acceptable accuracy that can be relied upon for precise humane hunting of small game. You will end up wounding more small game animals than humanely killing them.
I am 67 years young and I have shot springers for over 30 years and I have several that can consistently shoot a dime sized group at 50 yards. When I pick up any Gamo and shoot it and at 25 yards the target group is a two inch group with additional flyers out to 4 or five inches, hint....it is a junk rifle. I can assure you I know how to shoot a springer, these rifles quite simply are not accurate at all.
So lets look at the facts.
Gamo rifles are not accurate. They will wound more animals than kill them. If shooting at only targets I would be ashamed to show how inaccurate they are on camera. Those are not acceptable and or respectable groups, they are deplorable. Awful, terrible, is there even a word for them?
You can feed it any ammo you desire, none will have acceptable accuracy.
This particular model is touted as having super and wonderful iron sights. The truth is that the stock comb is so high the iron sights are not usable and require a very uncomfortable slide down the side of the stock to even see the iron sights. Therefore you might as well not have them.
Yes it is a powerful airgun and produces a high FPE , however it takes two men and a boy to cock it , well not really but it is hard to cock. This cocking force equates to high recoil and even with a properly mounted scope and consistent checks on all the screws and fasteners both on the rifle and the scope mounts and with the stop pin properly seated and held secure with lock-tite, after a few hundred shots you will see the scope has moved back a small amount. Closer inspection will reveal that the stop pin is eating away at the rear of the hole provided for the stop pin. The rifles receiver is not hardened at that point and eventually the stop pin will simply eat an oblong hole in the receiver.
This rifle will eventually kill even an approved scope designed for air rifles. My Gamo Magnum .22 Gen Two killed a Hawke airmax scope. Hawke honored it even though I did tell them what happened to it. I still have it, really do not wish to sell it to some unsuspecting aspiring air gunner. I could dig a hole and bury it, and I have come to the conclusion this may well be the best option. Perhaps I could give it to the local police and have them melt it down. Grin! I would feel bad selling it to someone is what I am saying.
So now that you have shot 500 pellets or so though this mechanical wonder you wish to clean the barrel. Good luck with this one!! There are ways to do this such as using a regular cleaning rod and or a drinking straw and weed eater string however that huge bulb permanently fixed on the end of the barrel has baffles in it that will catch and steal any patch that dares come close enough to them. This huge bulb also collects a substantial amount of lead dust within it and to clean that out requires removing the pins on the end of it and a good scrubbing with hot water and soap and an old toothbrush. That thing will be full of lead dust.
I think everyone should go get themselves a Gamo, at least once in life and if it does not completely destroy your desire to participate in the sport of airgunning, it will at least show you what a junk product is really like.
As you can tell I am not a paid you tube creator with the agenda to promote Gamo.
Go get you one, it is an experience everyone should have at least once. Grin!
Cheers

How much would you sell it for?
Ok point made what should we buy then? which airguns are considered better than a Gamo? Which are the ones you are using?
@@klrdto3250 I would not sell it as I feel I would be cheating that person. Gamo is best used for your garage side door as a door stop.
@@edge6441 I always recommend the HW95 as it is an very, very accurate air rifle quite capable of dime sized groups and has a short learning curve and is easy to shoot and easy to cock and has adequate power for small game if you prefer to hunt. Another name for this rifle is Beeman R9. They can be found on sale sometimes for around 350 dollars. The difference is Gamo will leave you frustrated, where the HW will cause you to smile and start you on a long enjoyable experience with air guns.
Gamo is Gamo, they are what they are and none of them ever provide acceptable accuracy.
Cheers

My replay is balls on accurate from about 30 meters it’s a .177 but is very well grouped dime size all day my friend
