Gamo PBA Armor, .177 Reviews

shoot the same as the Gamo rocket ammo maybe slightly larger groups

Make them actually penetrate more or thicker metal then the regular gamo rocket

I lined up 2 spray paint cans in a row and fired 4- of these through them. the first one made it through one and half cans and out of the last 4 only 2 made it through the 3rd metal wall. The gamo rocket ammo shoots just as hard and in my opinion has better penetration then these armor pellets. They still shoot pretty good out of the Gamo whisper fusion IGT. I like that they come with the one gamo combo package, gives you a little something different to shoot. I would buy these on their own. too much $ and you only get a 100 or 80 or whatever. That is WEAK.

Truly an amazing piece of ammo. Tested these out in my Gamo Whisper Fusion Mach 1 at 25 yards. The round went through a steel coffee can and most of the way through a 3/4 inch pine board behind it! I have my rifle scope trued with predator poly-mags to dead center the bulls eye at this distance and even though the three rounds I fired hit a little to the right edge of the bulls eye, I'm quite pleased with these. Should do some real damage as a hunting round for either a groundhog or a 30 lbs. + raccoon.

The price. There should be a few more of them for the cost. A 150 would be a fair amount.

If you use a rifle with a sound suppressor, don't be surprised if the report is much louder than normal. My rifle is max. rated at 1420 fps. and I think this round may even exceed that. I tried a few from a much lower powered rifle and wouldn't recommend them in any rifle less than 1000 fps. They will fly all over the target.

Accuracy very true according to specs....

One wicked round. Most impressive on small game. Gamo ammo = effective dispatch!!!

container and uniformity

price quantity

for the price and all stick with the rockets. does about the same comparatively.

I like everything about the pellet itself, no issues there.

80 pellets for this price is extremely low, 150 would be fair but that's being nice.

I don't see the point in buying these at this price

Mach 1+

Not for target/>20 yards shooting

very accurate good penetration the claimed increase of 20% was exactly correct in my test on water filled cans vs the crosman destroyers and gamo redfires. no kills yet.

lower price to something like 6 dollars.

extrewmely accurate in my tests but these are pretty much a lighter rocket that costs more, has slightly better quality control and comes in packs of only 80. I need to have a head to head comparison because i have a strange feeling that the rocket has more penetration than these.

Very nice looking, good penetration, stable ammo. Very nice group at 30 yards.

Much more affordable

Very high cost, does not perform (penetration) as advertised. All aloy ammo I tried performs equal or better. So, cool looking but not really the Armor penetration. The Raptor does better, H&N does better, many options are available.

In my gamo whisper . accuracy are very good I got a squirrel at about 50-75 feet in the neck. I also like that there are tin. I wish that pyramydair can get than in .45 cal (Tin) or any other non toxic . For i'm very happy with them

None

Pellet(s) may not work well in all air rifle type.

Quite accurate. Most shots touching at 10 m with Daisy 853.

A little too pricey.

Accuracy very nice. Would be nice if Gamo would make a PBA wadcutter for target shooting.

Penetration and speed.

Price.At 12 cents each they are way too expesive to use.

too expensive to experiment with these pellets.they are fast and hard and almost go supersonic in gamo whisper.

velocity

quality control

pellets have rigdes on them from shoddy manufacturing, very poor quality control, especialy for the price.

Penetration, accuracy

Price

These are great, they will actually take a chunk out of a 3mm thick steel plate using my friends break barrel 1000fps air rifle. I wish the would make them for my .22 air rifle.

Deep penetration of targets, lightweight, container is easy to store.

Some pellets get jammed.

great for hunting varmints.

The penetration

More to a package. You'd think that with the prices they are charging, they'd use a larger package than the same one for Raptors

at about 8 feet with my modified crosman 1377, they are going thru the first layer of a stainless steel coffee cup. I think it's about a mm thick

Accuracy was pretty good.

Velocity will really drop in CO2 pistols.

BE AWARE- If you are shooting into a pellet or .22 trap, you will get ricochets. Wear safety glasses when shooting these.

I wrote a review before this, one saying that I'd keep it posted on how good these are for hunting. Well these check out good for the most part.

They're expensive

I took these out hunting and I got a pigeon, it went straight through at 15yd. and got stuck in wood behind it. Even though they're expensive, I would keep a couple around as a "Special Pourpose" pellet. I'd even use these for bigger game like raccoons.

I liked the accuracy I can get under a half inch at 20yd. with open sights. The penatration is ok but noth'in to wow over.

Definatly cheaper or more of them

They're pretty much the same as the rockets except these are more accurate. I not sure how good they are for hunting but I'll keep it posted.

Nothing. Not accurate as claimed. Balls fall off the tip and make the pellet very un-accurate. It's Ok if you are just plinking and do not care what you shoot.

Everything. Price, quanity,pellet itself.

Go to JSB and purchace the preditor.
