Pigeon_snIPer Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihw6wCbDeg4 /S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Nice idea, shame they couldn't have engineered the magazine to sit flush with the action rather than look like it's just been plonked on the top ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmytree Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 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?

bruno22rf Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 What an ill conceived piece of tat....with the magazine so tall the scope needs to be correspondingly high which causes major headaches with the loopy trajectory of a puff gun.

.20 Hunter Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 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.

1066 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Anyone remember the ASI Paratrooper. It had a tube magazine that held around 20 pellets. HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Theoben slr 88&98 bsa golds goldstar, this concept has been around for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedsanity Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Seems a bit pointless and gimmicky, if you have to break the barrel you may as well pop a pellet in at the same time, the noise of the barrel breaking and the fact that you can't do it prone removes the stealth aspect of having a multishot pcp completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Theoben slr 88&98 bsa golds goldstar, this concept has been around for yearsWeren'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!

skaife Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 does anyone remember the Sussex armoury high power jackal they are side lever and some had a tube you could put pellets in for easy lloading you just cock it lift and close the tap and it was ready to shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 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.

chrisjpainter Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 there's also no mechanism to stop you dry-firing the gun if you lose count. i'm no springer expert, but isn't dry firing quite bad for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 That is one ugly gun. You don't save much time with a break barrel and how often do you need a second shot that quickly that you can't load a pellet in a open breach. If it was easy to do and be reliable I think the big boys would have done it years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 hello, just looking at a trade mag and spotted this from gamo THE MAXXIM ELITE MULTISHOT, comes with 2 mags, interesting concept, loads when you break and return. sorry cant do photos, check on web site. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Been in our local shop for weeks - usual gimmick that's been done before (even Relum did one!!) - immediate thought about the Gamo is the height above the barrel that the scope is forced to sit - not good.

GH hello, have you thought of using a pellet lube, look at some LT1 i have been using for years, good for barrel and magazines Edited May 4, 2017 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 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!! GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
