I picked up a Gamo Swarm during lockdown for some plinking in the garden. Really enjoy using it. Great fun and easy to use.
Morning Andy, the motoring reference is more a nod to the bikes they produced, just like the Lightning. Great review and I look forward to seeing more from the new channel. 👍👍👍
Yup. These new Gamos are way good. Would gladly shoot one of these..
A big Thank You to Andy and crew once again!
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 have a Gamo swarm whisper gen 1 and Gamo swarm magnum gen 2.. both very reliable air rifles..
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.
Always great reviews! Thank you for sharing your detailed experience in the comfort of our homes.
These look like great rifles.
Well done Gamo 👏👏
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!
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
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!
Webley Vulcan now that brings back some happy memories pal.
I have the 4.5 swarm maxim speed 10 1rst gen and it's a brilliant break barrel , and oh so acurate once scope is zeroed in, and the scope is realy good too and so crystal clear, personally I prefer the 1rst gen and my next one will be the 22 magnum 10 shot 👍
Good morning Andy, how are you ? . These are 2 fabulous rifles . As you say, very clever how it loads 👌. The rifles are great all rounders . And Good pricing. Thanks for your hard work this week ! . Have a fab weekend 😀. Cheers Simon from York
Good to see they have smartened up that autoloader mechanism.
Thanks for the review Andy, really enjoyed.
I have a Gamo Accu .22 under lever and I love it Gamo makes a jam up rifle!
Can't recommend these Gen 2's enough. I suggest getting the wood stock version. Better feel. The recoil, default scope, and accuracy are excellent.
Yep, you’ve done it again Andy. I want one, and it won’t cost be a daughter. Brilliant.
Good morning Andy from Buenos Aires - Argentina. I have the Roadster 5,5. Excellent rifle ...!
For the price, great stuff Andy. Thanks for sharing !
springers rock, nice video, thanks
Hi Andy and Mrs aar you are doing beautiful job sir and madam, i hope Mrs aar will start shooting more air rifles and maybe show us men up, it would be nice to see family's shooting at air rifle clubs and maybe one day hope they get into the competition shooting league in uk as well as other countries, please carry on with both your UA-cam channels andy and Mrs aar, you are education us and informing us on what new items that is coming out thank both of you and the team as well
I might have to get one of these pellet guns, even though I do enjoy shooting ground squirrels with a 30-06. Thanks for the review.
I love this magazine system, remember also, it is seating the pellet exactly the same every time! Very difficult to do loading a pallet with your thumb or finger. cracking little gun.👌
Thank you again!!!
I was waiting for so long for this !
You never disapoint
you said that you will review them and you did it
I kinda hopping to see the FAC versions but doesn't matter
Thank you !!
Great review...I did have swarm Magnum gen 2 but I had problems with the mag so I took it back and got the single shot Gamo Magnum with I think is more accurate..I in Belgium and air guns are not restricted.. my Magnum pushing about 28 foot pounds..it's the most powerful 22 break barrel available ..
Did you ever imagine Reeves as a teen you be doing videos that whole world could see , I find it just amazing .. great groups you got there mate
😎👍🏻
Nice looking rifles for young shot. hope the magazine problem was just a one off and not a problem as it gets well used. Great review, thanks 👍🥸
Thank you , Perfect timing as I’ve been watching your videos and was going to get a Lightning as better value than the TX200.
Now I think I’m going to get the .177 Speedster. Thanks
Cheaper than a tx200, doesn't mean better value, myb1 TX200 was made in 1992 and will still outperform these, would like to see if these rifles are still going strong in 30 years time.
Happy earth day & great air gun review!
I've just enjoyed your video.
The comments on cars , is actually a nod to Harley Davidson i think p.s. I've owned a gamo roadster for two months now and i think it's awesome i just can't miss under 50 yards
I have a Gamo speedster igt 10x gen2 and found the best ammo is the predator short polymag, accuracy is amazing.
I just bought this exact rifle based on this video I hope Gamo appreciates you.
thinking of getting one of these for my boy. looks great
I'll be ordering mine as soon as available.
I purchased after viewing your video, I went for the roadster it’s fantastic. Thanks.
SUPER GREAT VIDEO SIR I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT KEEP IT UP AND THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH
Thank you, very helpful.
Would you ever do some top 10 videos regarding the different groups of guns? They're super helpful for new buyers
Excellent useful video. Like any of your videos. Greetings from Nis, Serbia. 👏👍👍👍
Great review as usual Andy, Thanks. I will keep this rifle in .22 on my radar
One note should be made about the triggers on these air rifles. You can remove the trigger adjustment spring and add a 3-4mm longer one to remove the first stage and drop the pull pressure 1-2 lbs. Make a huge difference in reducing pulled shots.
I plan on doing this mod. Seems quite useful and makes perfect sense. I have an air venturi bullpup avenger. Found removing three tiny washers on the first stage of the trigger allows much less unnecessary extra play. These small mods are so helpful! Thanks!
Thanks for the knowledge
Really nice pellet clip setup i like that
Nice pair of budget guns Andy( another entertaining and informative video 👍), but I for one wouldn't swap one for my Hw98!
Hello sir!!! I really enjoy the videos,may I ask which shooting bench it is that your using in this video??? Thanks
another great review, as always.
Surprising enough my birthday is coming up and I was interested in buying an airgun to take over the duties I use my Benjamin Prowler with. I LIKE the Benjamin and have used it plenty BUT the trigger is really only comparable to draggin my truck across my gravel driveway. I've done mods that were online and that improved them but it's just tough. Do these, which appear to have the same setup, have a better trigger on them? You seem to not have problems in the video but I though I watched it yesterday I don't remember seeing a trigger weight test. These light 3.5-4 pound triggers on my Rugers have me a little spoiled.
Excellent review Andy look like a decent budget rifle
if that is a thumbhole stock ,what is then a pistolgrip stock? a thumbhole stock is a different design, gamo does have also a gen 3 announced. i saw somewhere on the tube.
a sidellever would be very handy on the bench
I've been waiting for you to come out with this video thank you sir I love you
Review the Magnum gen 2, would appreciate it a lot since im looking into getting one very soon.
I got the bone collector gen2. A beast
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.
I thought the same these are adverstized as IGT however upon inspection they are progressive spring
the mags on these dont have that mechanism to prevent double loading,that is only on the magnum gen 2 which i dont think is even available in the UK and the new gen 3i models which also are not yet available in the UK
and these are spring not gas ram.
Only in UK
My son has the swarm hornet in .22 it does the job well.
i love Airguns but every video i watch i cant help thinking i wish i could do some metal detecting in that huge garden lol
I love your videos and the information you give out really helps I was thinking about geting a roadster but my heart is won by magnum 10x igt gen2 can you do a review about the magnum? I would love to see one
The Break Barrel is still a favoured gun for the amateur enthusiast AKA Pest Slayer
Hi Andy can you clarify the difference between the whisper fusion and the other whisper fusion on these? Cheers
Can you do a show on how to clean the barrel on those guns. It’s not so easy as I can tell
An American reviewer (Dr Russ?) on youtube said there was a problem with the pellets "jumping" out of the Mag on this Horizontal version of this rifle.
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.
Well Gamo claims they dry fire their guns thousands of times without damage. Take that with a grain of salt, I suppose?
@@stanpotter7764 Yeah, No reason why they cant have a little shoulder/stop machined into the piston to stop the tip from getting damaged... have to open one up and see. \_o_/
Thanks.
Andy any chance of a review of the ATA Airborne in the future its a budget pcp and i have seen some good reviews would love to know what you think. Regards
Excellent review
I have a Speedster and the only inconvenience I had with the rifle is depending on the brand of pellets that I use it can either work perfectly or jam
H&N pellets always worked perfectly and Gamo ones, on a Gamo rifle... Always jams the magazine or ejects the pellets
This is a beautiful review and I follow your channel as well , my question is pls tell us accurate Breakbarell air guns from your experience.
Great review!!!
Hi Andy! You mention about 8 minutes in to your video that the gun can be loaded manually and used as a single-shot break-barrel. Can you please tell me what procedure you use to accomplish that? It looks like you simply DON'T put the magazine in the magazine assembly and then proceed with cocking, then manually loading the pellet, then closing the barrel. Please confirm! And thanks for all your great videos!!!
He's doin it again.
I've always liked the look of the swarm and other variations. There were a number of reports of the scopes getting destroyed due to the recoil. At £280, think I'd put my money on the Webley nemesis X combo and have cash spare for pellets and co2.
I'm in the process of securing some pest control rights and love the look and accuracy of the Nemesis X, the only thing I'm not really convinced with it is the power output at the muzzle, and, subsequent power drop of the pellet at 25-40m.
I'm hoping perhaps Vector air could tune it to get it up to around 11 ft/lbs, making me more comfortable with dropping critters.
What I AM convinced on is the fact that I can't afford a PCP! lol
@@havok2396 ah good point, I thought it was at around 11ft lbs, just checked and it's under 8!!
@@1Goldigger1 yepp... Definitely not good enough even at 15m for a clean despatch imo. Let alone at ranges further out than that, I'm guessing the velocity drop off would put it at around 5ft/lbs (maybe less) at 25-40m?
I'd like to see some ballistic gel data on wound channel, penetration and energy dump at longer ranges?
I can't seem to find any however?
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.
fake muzzle break :)
so many people misunderstand the purpose of this design ,its quite funny
My magazine won't go to correct position when the barrel is snapped leaving it to blank fire. Unless I manually move the magazine as its in motion to the correct place. Only just bought it too
Another great review 😉👍
Awesome 👍
I have a question, can i put on a scope on my Gamo Roadster IGT 10X GEN2 ??? Can it resist the movement of the recoil arrester ???
Should I get the GAMO G-MAGNUM 1250 IGT or the gamo speedster?
Great review as usual. I would love to get a hold of some GAMO Car stickers for my car (like free promotion). Do you know if they have some of those?
Great review. Didn't really need to repeat the studio stuff when outside. But then again some of us oldies may need reminding..
Is it an option for juniors ? How hard was it to cock that barrel ?
A good review. The rifle shoots well off a tripod. however accuracy would be improved if you set the rifle down in the tripod in the same place every time, watch the position of the front stock bolt/screw moving vs tripod.
Exactly.
Nice set of springers, although I prefer AA TX200 type of cocking mechanism. Got a wild idea, how about AA making a TX200 "Tactical" with a synthetic stock😲😲🤔🤔
Nice review Andy, I like the look of the gamo speedster, but I note the fibre optic open sights are omitted for the UK market ! Why ? This is a deal breaker for me as I like to have an option. Can they be purchased as an extra then ? Also I have just seen a couple of you tube reviews and the accuracy sucks, it could be down to the mag loading of pellets. What do you think ? Cheers Brian.
You should review gamo swarm Magnum..it's there best seller because standard at 45 joules..and 1000 plus fts
Hi Andy, would you please do the .22 roadster, also are they spring or igt?
The thing I wanted to know, is it a springer or a gas ram? DOH! (the 2 are quite different to shoot)
cant wait for the speedster turbo gti 16v convertible
Seems that if you keep repeating the cocking action without actually shooting you may plug up your barrel with pallets.
I like your shooting Bench. What brand is it?
I have a gamo airrifle that is a very good shot
With that loading system are they pellet fussy?
Just a thought.
Hi Andy
Great review as always! Like this improved magazine system. Does the rifle allow you to fire an 11th shot ( on an empty magazine)?
Regards
the magazine holds ten pellets, you cant shoot 11 if it only holds 10
Australia has the IGT piston not spring like UK. My roadster accurate with open sights.
These still interest me, but that comb is still very low, or perhaps more accurately, the scope mount is high, for obvious reasons.
Is there a Swarm 10X .22 Gen 2 or Gen 3 that has open sights? I know they come with a scope, but I wanted to use open sights if possible.
What is the power difference between them ,how long it can shoot and which is better?
So if scope was upgraded would it be better for variety of small game shooting
Be nice if it comes in a gas ram vision ..?
Looks like a pair of nice rifles. Thanks for another great review.
Gamo swarm gen 2 or hstsan 125 sniper in .22 for hunting small and medium game
How accurate is the Scope? I have been putting red dot sites on all my rifles.
Great review, Thanks! It's my 50th this year, I wonder if I can persuade the missus to let me have a Speedster??... 😁
I think you can! No PCP compressor or hand pump free energy just pellets!
I’ve got a Gamo Varmint can I get the magazine loading mechanism fitted? If not why not???
