I love the power my Gamo swarm has but cocking it is a workout, does it get easier over time , is there anything I can do to make it easier?
Gamo swarm
- Thread starter Michiganman313
- Start date
Piston guns (spring/gas rams) will generally make more power with lighter pellets... Just don't get hung up on power or chrony figures. For the longest time I wanted a 30+fpe airgun... Just to figure out about 20fpe is the most I truly needed for (my) airgun use and often I use less.

Well I guess I was thinking mine was more of a thumper than it actually is. I only shot one pellet since its pretty loud and got 712fps with a 21.14g Barracuda which is about 23.8fpe.

Makes me curious to see what a 177 version would do with a JSB KO Slug. If they can do 20fpe that might be a nice speed for expansion.
Anyone know if the Mach 1 version has a shroud around the barrel or is it just solid plastic? My Hunter version just has the normal Gamo air stripper thing that doesnt seem to do much to quiet it down.

I have the .177 Swarm Magnum.
Here’s a 10 round group at 15 yards with 14 grain slugs. All under 1/2in except the 2 I pulled.This was my first slugs through the gun. Chronied 850-860fps if I remember right
Edit to say I’m getting errors when trying to load the pics

I seen them pba slugs at 8g .177. Now with the 10g lead as well a springer guy could easily venture out in to slugs
