Looks like the game changers have arrived.
Just saw this on Pyramid Air -

http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Gamo_Swar ... Rifle/4310

never before achieved by airgun manufacturers - a breakbarrel with a 10 shot rotary magazine that slaps a round into the chamber every time you cock the barrel.

Nice idea but not sure about having the magazine mechanism so high in front of the scope. Like many airgunners I'm wary of Gamo build quality and judging by the results in the 2nd video I wouldn't say accuracy is much to write home about.

Full marks to Gamo for at least trying a different concept though, wouldn't it be nice if the likes of AA or HW decided to take up the gauntlet and come up with something radical?

I saw one about two weeks ago, the rep was in my local RFD.

It's light weight the bit where the mag sit looks flimsy. And feel it could snap held in place by two very thin peices of wire,

Adjustable cheek piece which just pulls up and pushes down.

I'd like to HW and air arms come up with something in the way of multi brake barrel

I bought one at the Shooting show. I need to try it again with a different pellet as he ones I got at the time of purchase don't exactly work.

Must have wasted 20+ which got crushed in the mechanism. Seems there's a bit of a

knack to it also. Couldn't get it to group at all at 15yds,

mainly because the pellets were getting damaged even when they actually loaded so most were flyers!

Not very impressed at the mo but reserving judgement till I've tried a better made pellet.

Power seems good though so if I ever manage to get it grouping well it should be good for 30-40 yd bunnies.

Theoben slr 88&98 bsa golds goldstar, this concept has been around for years

Weren't they underlever? And as such a lot easier to adapt for multi shot as the barrel itself doesn't move!

Don't see the point in it myself, and being as it's gamo and already mentioned by an owner above it's unlikely to have the refinement to be any real good other than a gimmick for a bit of plinking.....not the prettiest either!

It is inventing something for the sake of it. Can't see there being many takers.

tell that to daystate and their disciples!

you're so right though. and it looks awful. I can't think it's going to stand up to regular use. the bsa goldstar underleaver is still a far better option if you want a multishot springer.

hello, have you thought of using a pellet lube, look at some LT1 i have been using for years, good for barrel and magazines

Ah, thanks for that OPP,I'll give it a go.

A quick update though......I got some heavier better quality pellets and finished zeroing in with those....what a difference, loaded faultlessly every time

and the penetration is very good too. Clean through a piece of 5/8 melamine board!!
