Gamo swarm

[countryboy]

I see the new 10 shot break barrel from gamo , the "swarm" is soon to be released. Hope to try one out at the show in a couple of weeks. A couple of interesting videos on u tube. Can't wait to try one. Game changer ????

Is it an updated version of their Paratrooper and Sniper autoloaders from the 80's?

If so then no. No it isn't.

I've just watched a video about it, it uses a BSA Superten style rotary mag but it slots into a dirty great big plastic carbuncle on top of the rifle, you won't be able to use any open sights on it and you will have to use high mounts with a scope, it ain't no Goldstar.

Oh, not all bad then?

Well, there is nothing else out there at the moment, and I am sure there are many less miserable springer fans out there who would love one. Blimey ,there are some grumpy folk out there. Me , I find it exciting and look forward to trying one. And not just so I can moan about it.

We're not grumpy, just experienced.

Buy a Gamo, auto load or not, then you can join us in our happy and joyous warnings to others.

Yes, it needs to be based on a fixed barrel rifle really. Other wise what's the point?

Repeating pellet-firing springers are not exactly new.

Haenel Mod V.
Gamo Expomatic/ASI Sniper repeater.
Ditto ASI Paratrooper version.
Gamo multi shot b/b from the late 90s.
Air Arms Firepower and other A/L variants.
Relum Telly repeater.
Theoben SLRs.
BSA Gold Star.
Diana 300R.

So, no, it's not a new idea, and if it apparently retails for as much as a Weihrauch, while having the quality and performance of a Gamo, it will not succeed.
