Page 3 - Umarex Fusion 2 Reviews

The Fusion 2 worked just fine and dandy right out of the box. I tried the supplied scope and it worked well enough, though it could have been a bit more clear. Still, it zeroed in with two shots and held its point of aim; what more can we ask of a free optic? The accuracy was better than I'd hoped, dime size groups at 25 feet, which is about all the space I have available. It's pretty quiet too, so that is also a good thing.

At this price point? Not too much. Just don't over tighten the CO2 adapter or it can leak; I fixed this by backing off slightly on the exposed puncturing device once I heard the hiss. Now I know how much to tighten things; Hercules strength is not required for this operation.

The mags worked best with domed pellets (JSB Match Diabolo Exact 8.4gr), my usual hollow points were a tad picky (H&N Crow Magnum's) and needed to be kept close to level when loading into mag opening. These are my usual pellets, I have yet to try any others at this time. I've since switched to a open red dot sight as the scope was no usable on the pesting front due to poor lighting when needed; that and my eyes are not the best. The Pellgun Oil makes a great lubrication for the seals and the CO2's, works like a charm.

A very accurate and quiet rifle. I also really like the ergonomics of the pistol grip stock. The rotory clips are easy to load.

The trigger pull is long and hard, shorten the pull and lighten up the trigger. Also, add the notch to lock the bolt back....AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES! Having the notch to lock the bolt back would really help when inserting the rotory mag.

The end seal failed after the third time of changing out the 12 gram CO2 cartridges. And before the poorly designed seal failed, I was only getting a 56 shot count. I enjoyed shooting my fusion so much, I didn't want to send it back! So, I found a way to get it to seal with an o ring I had. After converting it to HPA with a 13cc Air Venturi bottle, I am getting about 130 shots per fill! And yes, with some extensive modification to the stock using a dremel tool, the Fusion can be converted using a QB79 offset tank block. Now I have a super accurate, quite, powerfully .177 cal PCP! My converted Fusion is spot on accurate and powerful enough to make holes in both sides of a tin can at 35 yards! I have even taken it to our local rifle club and shot some impressive groups at 50 yards. If you have no experience working with high pressure air, seek help, or find someone to do the conversion for you. I am 61 years old and have no problem hand pumping to fill the Air Venturi 13cc bottle.

Light comfortable accurate quite.

Need a little work on the mags. They are a little sloppy with certain pellets and they fit too tight. Hard to get in and out. The tube for the co2 cartridges would be nice if the threads holding it on were left hand threads. Everytime I put a cartridge in it comes loose when I try to unscrew the cap.

My son and I have one. Neither one have had issues with leaking or anything else so far.
This is a good gun for the money. If you are expecting something more then pay more money and get something else.

I've read some "complaints" that it's not as quiet as a Diana Chaser, I have the chaser in .177 and .22 and the difference in sound suppression is hard for me to tell. I think the Fusion 2 is quiet so pleased about that. Comes with 2 mags. I've not as yet had any issues with jamming etc but I am using target/flat nose pellets. Love that the 2 x 12 gram CO2 adapter easily removes and can be replaced with an 88 gram cartridge. Very nice feature. Rifle is very accurate. Was easy to dial in the scope. Not the greatest scope but overall, for the low, low price of this rifle, with mags and other features, who cares!!!!! Grip, thumbhole stock is very comfortable. Picatinny rail - nice feature.

For the price, the performance is excellent. How can you go wrong??? Very pleased with the purchase. Shoots accurate and consistent. Comfortable to shoot, loaded with features you wouldn't expect for a rifle at this price. Hat's off to Umarex. Sure I could come up with lame excuses about missing features like an adjustable stock, adjustable trigger, blah, blah... If I wanted/had to pay $200+ ok... but for the price, awesome purchase. Buy one, you won't be unhappy.

Lightweight,accurate, easy to use. Good power, very quiet.

Rotary mag is kind of snug to insert but im thinking it will loosen up over time. Would also be nice if it were possible to remove 88 gm co2 without losing gas. But 2 12 gram co2 setup is nice.

This is a nice rifle. Would like to see this in a classic wood stock .22 version with open sights.

To be honest I hadn't bought anything for a while an thought this ha a cool look. I had Pyramyd Air zero it in. When I received it I was surprised at how comfortable it was. Shooting in the backyard at 35 feet it was dead on. Great job of zeroing Pyramyd.

Some pellets like to fall straight through, haven't tried a different brand but could make a difference. Installing the magazine is a chore. It is a real tight fit.

Highly recommend this gun. It is a really fun gun and the options for CO2 is a plus. I have found nothing bad about this gun and will probably be buying another for my Nephew.

Pretty straight forward air rifle. Has a nice weight to it and fits an adult frame ok.

I agree on the magazines some pellets do rather drop through when loading the magazine., The magazines are a very snug fit going in and out of the frame.. Hopefully over time insertion and extraction will be smoother

I have only fired about 70 pellets so far, The scope that comes with it is ok, It sighted in easily, Seems to hold a zero,
It is pretty quiet for back yard use.
Hoping to see the magazines get a little easier to use after using them a while.

Accurate. The feel is very comfortable. I thought the bolt might be sub par. But it is very good and easy. Its fun to shoot. I get about 18 to 20 shots per cartridge. Its great small pesting gun. The scope is very usable for close shooting. I dont have any problem using it. In low light it gets hard to see. But I wont change it until it fails. My son bought one and loved it. So I did too and my feelings are the same for a gun at this price point.

The manual is not for the model I got. The instructions are for I think an earlier version because of the instructions for loading the co2 cartridges.

The mags I got were a problem. Some of the pellets would fall thru but mostly if you have the gun pointed up pellets sometimes fall back into the bolt probe hole when trying to cycle the bolt. Pyramid air did send me new ones. I have not had a chance to use those yet.

For the money, it seems well built. Stock is decently comfortable.

FAR from quiet! 110db vs 89db on my Diana Chaser, but putting out the same FPS of around 695fps using 5.71gr H&N Green .177's. At least make what seems to be a HORRIBLE moderator able to be removed and replaced with a threaded barrel. Gun was way too loud to even care to find what pellet works best in it...

excellent accuracy. nice price. Although thought about sending it back at first, now that I have gotten used to it, I would probably buy it again.

Should be easier to get magazines in and out. The gas system should be upgraded so 2 12g co2 would puncture easier. I have to set 2 dimes as spacer between the two for consistent puncture. Seems like it uses a lot of gas.

Be sure you have lots of CO2 and pellets on hand. Best buy I found for CO2 is Walmart.

It looks nice!

Get a better photo of loading the mag into the gun. You can't tell anything from the blurd photo in the booklet. The mags are difficult to fill and very hard to fit into the gun. It did not click when cocked. Also the bolt is VERY hard to cock. The mags are diffficult to fit into the gun. As with every air gun I have ever owned, the second caplet never gets pierced.

In short the gun is NOT fun to shoot. It is over all unsat. I am sorry I bothered so much about sending it to me. If the new guns have the bugs worked out send me one when I have returned this one. Please send a return number.

Well worth the wait, it's light , accurate right out the box dead on at 100 feet good value well made love it

needs a better clip a metal one would be better

Get one before they sell out again waiting is no fun.

1) Accuracy. Getting around 1/2" c-t-c 5 shot groups at 20 yards. Please note that accuracy was diminished when using the 9 shot magazine. Found one pellet that worked well and still managed to maintain the 1/2" accuracy at 20 yards. 2) Looks cool. Especially the moderator at the end of the barrel.

1) Trigger. Its okay. Really hard to tell when it is going to let go. Requires some practice...... Oh well, I don't think there can be enough practice. 2) Only getting 1/2 of the number of shots listed. For 2 12 gram CO2 cartridges, getting about 40 good shots. For the 88 gram CO2 getting about 120 good shots. Not sure what going on here. 3) Issues with the provided 2 12 gm CO2 cartridge unit. It leaks. Sometimes. Difficult to get it not to leak. Lots of pell gun oil required. See below for suggested CO2 option. 4) As I have seen in other reviews, sometimes both 12 gm CO2 cartridges will not pierce. See below for suggested CO2 option. 5) Moderator looks cool, but it does not moderate so well. With all the markings on the box I was expecting a decibel reading of 84 or lower. Got 93 db. Disappointed here.

1) If you desire to purchase this gun, plan on using 88 gm CO2 cartridges. These seem to work fine. Except for the 120 shot count.
2) As usual, with these budget friendly guns, plan on buying a scope with an adjustable parallax.
3) For the cost, the gun does what I need it to do. Close range pest control. 20 yards or less. However, I do wish that all the hype on the outside of the box was true.

The gun is lite and handles well

The magazines are poorly constructed out of the box one did not work the spring was broke the other one worked for two loads then locked up. The gun was accurate, the CO2 chamber worked great but the mags should be more durable.

The rifle over all was descent and did fire nice. The stock had a nice feel and did have a good grip that your hand was relaxed holding. I found the silencer was a good feature but did seem to add a bit of weight to the end.

The scope was ok but an up grade would suit this rifle better. I did have a bit of a time getting the scope sited in and it still was low and left after the adjustment was run out. The worst part is, the rifle was defective, after firing about 60 rounds the CO2 was leaking from the bolt area at the barrel. I also did have the same trouble as some others noted about not puncturing both CO2's.

I had to send this rifle back for being defective and that was a big disappointment. I like the rifle, the bolt action was nice, grip was good and it felt good in my hands. The CO2 was enough at just over 700FPS and I know it would have taken care of my rodent problem. I would reorder this rifle again if the problems could be worked out by the manufacturer. I was very disappointed when I got it out of the box and saw the CHINA stamps all over it. I thought I was buying a weapon form a German company and it was made by them, not the lowest bidder!

Accuracy when it does work

Co2 chamber constantly leaks. Release valve is junk!

Awesome gun but it takes 10 co2 cartridges b4 you get 2 that work.

The updated silencer is good. Good weight and balance. Having an 88 g CO2 is a good option. Scope could be better but its already good for its price.

Packaging can be better. I encountered some problem getting one 12 g C02 punctured equally which seems to be a common problem.

Good rifle for its price. I love the new design. The new silence air really works, its quiet as it can be. It has good feel and balance. Overall its a great rifle for its price.

Everything about this rifle

Nothing

Buy one they are a lot of fun

Looks good, feels good, super quiet, accurate.

Forget the 88-90 gram CO2 option & dump that horrible twin 12 gram adapter !... It should have been a simple, single CO2 cartridge :(

The 88-90 gram cartridges would be the only way to use this rifle in my opinion but I find that too expensive,... The cost per gram of CO2 is at least 17 cents per gram in the bigger 90 gram cartridges compared to a 40 count pack of the 12 gram powerlets being 3 cents per shot (12g x40= 480/$16).
The twin CO2 adapter is a great concept but it's horrible :(
Half the time only one is pierced which admittedly can be overcome by putting a dime between the 2 cartridges.
I found the first cartridge always gets stuck & is difficult to get out,... If this rifle used a single 12 gram CO2 powerlet then it would have been a perfect rifle even though my shot count was only averaging about 20 full power shots per powerlet.
I have the Diana Chaser (purchased from Pyramid Air of course) & it is such a simple design & simple is good :) ... You use the CO2, unscrew the cap, insert another CO2 & go :)

Dime-sized groups at 20 yards right out of the box (just put on my 3x9 scope for old eyes). Quiet as advertised.

Hard to clean from breech end; make suppressor detachable?

Crossman 12gr cartridges don't consistently puncture in the rifle. Use Daiseys or others instead.
