Umarex Fusion 2 Reviews

Quiet, Accurate with great CO2 saving features plus the build quality you expect from Umarex. Some users complain about accuracy but mine was shooting off hand 1" groups at 25 yards out of the box with only a few clicks on the scope get zero'd in. Maybe this is down to the shooter or possibly they were shooting in colder conditions that impacts CO2 power and shot consistency. If you are shooting in colder conditions keep the CO2 tube in your car or inside your jacket until you plan to shoot.

More Power!! Maybe a 22 version? I also have a CO2 Crosman 2240 with a longer barrel and this has almost double the muzzle energy so the same power should be possible or even higher with this platform, without having to go to the PCP version.

When using the double CO2 tube you need to be aware it does have a valve so you can remove it after a shooting session to preserve your CO2 rather than letting it slowly bleed out whilst not being used. If you use the larger 88 gram you need to buy one of these if you want to have the option of removing cartridge without dumping all your CO2 https://www.umarexusa.com/umarex-88g-co2-saver-airgun-accessory-2211132 The 88 gram cartridges do not lose as much power as the 12g ones after multiple shots in quick succession Also note that if you use the 88 gram cartridges, you can't use the M-LOK mounts on the side rails. it may be possible if you shorten the M-LOK mount screws. You need to consider what you plan to use this rifle for, it is an awesome plinking gun that can deal with any backyard soda can infestations but like most CO2 powered guns, the power is limited so any pest control use is limited to rats at 10 yards max and assuming you have good chance of a headshot.

Great gun! Just like with any other gun, you have to pay attention to how you hold it when aiming for dead accuracy.

I would have made it better by letting it have the ability to pierce the 2nd 12g with ease.

Use the 88's and 90's! works so much better. With the right pellets, it can punch through a license plate! Did that by accident.

The look and feel of it when you pick it up. Has a GREAT trigger right out of the box. Probably one of the best of the 12+ air rifles I own or have owned.

The accuracy, no matter what pellets I shoot, is mediocre at best. I have shot over 14 different brands & styles. None do great. It is, however, very consistent it seems. About 36 good full power shots always in a 2-1/2 inch group at 25 yards. Minute of soda can accurately, But pinpoint accuracy, no. By comparison the Crosman Nitro Venom .22 I purchased from PA nearly 10 years ago is highly accurate! Just yesterday shot 4 of 5 Crosman Premere HP pellets into a fingernail size group at 20 yards. And that is often that guns normal. I dislike the dual CO2 chamber as it has been finiky and a very slow leak from day one. And I absolutely LOATHE the action. The bolt handle takes a good deal of force to load another round properly, and installing or removing the rotary mag is a major pain! Now more than ever I am getting jams and then double feeds trying to cycle the bolt. And I am being careful to do it right every time! This rifle is just very fussy.

I purchased this rifle in early October of 2021. Now it is April of 2023 and I have had a LOT of range time with this rifle. So my testimony and 30+ years of shooting experience I truly feel makes this a unbiased and credible account of this review. Due to manufacturing tolerances, your results may vary. I have in the very recent past modified the rifle a bit and now am getting somewhat better use out of it. But it is still prone to a fussy action. Smooth..........is one thing this rifle is NOT!

Handy, very silent, excellent balance, weight OK. Shoots well and on the spot as long as the CO2 is not depleted .

Nothing comes to mind

Support given to me for a problem I found was astonishing and the answer from the company was something unexpected. They sent me a brand new rifle and no questions asked. From that moment on, as a repay , I'll check pyramyd.com before purchasing anything other than pyramyd.com

Shoot with Crosman CO2,. Extremely silent. Never seen an air gun so silent. Two magazines with the purchase. A good start.

1. Name above (Crossman) can't be found as air gun or CO2 capsules seller. 2. Try Crosman 3. Check wobble before shipping.

1. Upon arrival, the first thing noticed was the CO2 container was not firmly attached to the gun. It would wobble up down sideways 2. I was not able to perforate both capsules at the same time 3, Trying to find the sweet spot and have both capsules perforated was impossible to achieve, 4. Not a heavy gun. 5. No detailed information on the way the CO2 container about need to keep it loose or should be fix w/o wobble.

This is very comfortable gun to hold, it is a great price and according to the person I gave it to, it is extremely accurate.

Nothing

This gun takes 2 12 gr C02 cartridges and sometimes the front one does not puncture. According to other reviews I have seen, this is not uncommon. Others have suggested putting a spacer in between the C02's as a fix. I gave this gun to a friend as a gift, so I personally don't know if he has tried this as I suggested.

Fit and finish are good, Scope is okay, shoots well, good for target practice.

Should not have to use a shim between the co2 cylinders to make them work. The plastic pellet mag is just a lousy thing to do to a customer. Make it more durable and have it fit better and make them available.

Umarex makes a product that has parts attached to them that they know will wear out and need replacement. The pellet mag. is made of plastic, do they make this part available, NO I have had several on back order now since Feb. 2022. I will not be buying any Umarex product if this is the best they can do.

This is a co2 rifle so I shoot at 15yrd targets,, I think this air rifle is a good value for the price; it's accurate, very quiet and not ammo picky. If your looking for a quiet tack driver with no recoil at a reasonable price this is your gun. I really enjoy shooting it.

The magazines fit extremely tight and need to be filed or sanded down to load into the rifle smoothly.

This rifle was bought only to shoot targets, It has the accuracy for small game but not the energy.

9 round mags. 88 or 2/12gr co2

This was the second one I bought. The 1st one did not include the double 12gr adapter. Had to buy it separately. The seal failed on it. They replaced it. Later the main sealed failed. They didn't reply to my emails. I liked the gun. So. like a dumbass I bought another one. This one came the the 2/12gr adapter. So. I now had 4 mags, 2 adapters. I felt as though the 1st one was a fluke. You know. Slipped through the cracks. I like the rifle. Any way. This second one was nearly impossible to load. The mags (old or new) would not go in easily. Spent more time fixing jams and fiddling with it than shooting it. Contacted PA, the sent me a shipping label and got a prompt refund. So all good there. And. Like a dumbass, I bought a used one on eBay.... coz I like the rifle.

It's quiet, the magazines work well and its accurate.

The included scope isnt for me. The trigger is light but the pull is too long in my rifle. The trigger looks similar to a QB78 internally, I'm going to put some travel adjustment screws in. I'd like it in a conventional wood stock, but that would increase the price.

I got mine a while ago and didn't shoot it much. Recently I saw some Youtube vids criticizing the accuracy and other stuff. So, I got mine out and put a different scope on, just for personal preference, and I can't stop shooting it! The magazines have worked for me with whatever pellets I have around. The accuracy is very good, no complaints. The only thing I want is more magazines. YMMV, maybe I got the Golden Sample?

The accuracy is very good

I would add a basic pressure indicator. On multiple occasions the pressure dropped low enough where a pellet became lodged in the barrel. I had to force out using a cleaning rod.

The scope is not very good. I replaced on first day.

Everything really,the gun is very accurate, and fun to shoot

I would change the end of the barrel, I think the triangular sounds repress or is ugly.

The magazines did not fit the gun, broke both mags trying to make them work, had to send the gun back to Umarex . Got it back ,and I believe they sent me back a new gun, Every thing works as intended.

Packaged well. Accuracy is fantastic and gun is very quiet. Scope is so-so but does the job. Including 2 clips is fantastic.

Adjustable trigger would be nice but at this price not expected.

Solid construction, yet compact, lightweight and manageable.

Nothing, great bargain. It's just fine the way it comes. Things I'm gonna do...I'm gonna take the bolt and carrier out for some fine polishing just to smoothen the action...also, gently remove some of the edges on the magazines that develop during injection molding plastic. This type of stuff naturally wears over time with usage, but I just like to help by adding finishing touches where and when I can.

It's a fun shooter. As the consumer, there are times where user error comes into play and pellet magazine Jams can occur. These can be cleared by gently sliding a plastic cleaning rod down the barrel to push jammed pellets back thru the magazine into the bolt carrier. 1) Unload CO2 or at least secure with safety switch and 2) I used a soft metal rod with a deburred end and gently lowered it into the barrel to the area where pellets were jammed up. Rifling grooves in pellet gun barrels can be easily damaged so be very gentle in your approach or get someone who knows what's up to assist. Resist the urge to force anything. If in doubt, seek professional assistance with a gunsmith or someone well capable of doing their own 'smithing.

I'm not able to evaluate the rifle because the pellets keep jamming. No specific instructions how to release the gas out of the cartridge once placed in the gas container. Also, is it necessary to place (2) Co2 -12 oz cartridges in the gun at the same time, or one at a time.

Better instruction manual. Doesn't clear show or state which side the pellet cartridge is input (left or right).

Where in the manual does it show the # steps needed to properly cock the gun and the directions to achieve the needed final process???

Great gun for the money. Quiet, light,accurate. Being able to use a 90 gram co2 bottle is a big plus. Put one of them in and you'll get a few hundred shots.

A pressure gage, similar to what pcp rifles use, would be a plus. The included scope is of poor quality.

I also had problems with the magazines not fitting. A lot of deformity in the plastic molded part. I sanded the side down that is opposite the clear cover. Take a new piece of about 300 grit sandpaper, lay that on something very flat, like your kitchen counter top. Slowly rub the magazines on the sandpaper. You will see where the plastic is raised up around the edges. Maintaining an even pressure, sand down the surface until you see there is a uniform surface, no shiny molded showing. Try inserting the magazines into the gun. If they are still too tight, sand off some more. They should slip in and out reasonably easy. They won't fall out because of the keeper ball engaging with the slot on the bottom of the magazines.

The price. You get a good air rifle with a scope for a very low price.

The ease of inserting the magazine.

The instructions for inserting the magazine are minimal. I had a hard time figuring it out. Look at the picture on the box. Also it is a very tight fit.

Love the rotary magazine works flawlessly.

N/A fyi-if you want to shoot Crossman Co2 cartridges you will need to put a thin spacer between the cartridges.

It is incredibly accurate, not kidding, 5th Award Rifle Expert and i am impressed how you can keyhole one shot after another.

I am glad I ordered this Fusion 2 before reading all the reviews with leak issues, magazine faults, and CO2 cartridge problems. I upgraded to a good 3x9 scope with parallax adjustment. My gun will shoot a 1" group consistently at 25 yards as long as I wait at least 30 seconds between shots. This is because CO2 changing from liquid to gas with each shot causes the cartridge to cool off which then lowers the pressure of each shot which lowers the accuracy with it. I leave the bottom 12 gram cartridge in the adaptor and only insert one new 12 gram cartridge. This gives me 3 magazines or 27 shots before the pressure drops off. This way I am not leaving CO2 in the gun and I do not waste much CO2 by venting through the air release. I use Crosman 12 gram cartridges with no issues yet but I can see that the pressure release screw threads could be a leaker in the future. If this occurs then it will be JB weld time and it will function like all the other CO2 guns with no pressure release.

It would be nice to have a HPA option so I could get away from the CO2 time delay between shots. Also there would be more consistent shots from day to day when the ambient temperature is different. Realize that CO2 pressure is totally temperature dependent. See online CO2/Temperature charts for a big insight into the difference of 40-110 degrees.

I shoot the 10.5 grain Crosman domed pellets only. This gun has plenty of pressure for this heavier pellet. If you place the magazine on a flat surface and load a pellet into hole 1 and then rotate mag CCW to hole 2 and continue on until all 9 holes have a pellet it is quick and easy. Note that any pellets that are tight or that fall through should be removed and used in your single shot break barrel gun. Loose pellets will jam the magazine regularly. Do not be surprised at the difference in pellets from the same tin.

Light weight, accurate, quiet, Plastic stock seems very well made, and well designed and durable on first Look only time will tell but also seems very solid stock. M-slots on bottom and side of forearm of stock great for mounting Laser, or light, or bipod. Bluing was good condition.

The Plastic scope i could have done without, a version sold without scope for a few bux cheaper, or Provide the M-loc Nuts and a couple of short pieces of Rail for the slotted areas for attachments. Trigger Needs Sear Adjustment, Which it has. and needs a Lighter trigger spring to be more accurate.

My Fusion2 upon cleaning the barrel it was the Filthiest barrel i have ever seen, with a thick grimy substance having to pull about 16 patches through the bore, that was VERY Dirty, thick and Grimey. Also Dirty inside the 2x Co2 adaptor, i used a dowel and a T-shirt to clean it out. The trigger is Adjustable, but the action needs to be taken Out of the stock to access the Sear adjustment at the back of the trigger group, Also the Trigger return spring is VERY Very STIFF a Ball Point Pen Spring, is a good replacement for a Nice LIGHT trigger.
