Page 3 of 7 - Gamo Arrow & Swarm Quick-Shot .22 (5.5mm) Cal Reviews

Easy to use and no problems

Nothing

Great to not have to load one at a time, and have more than one mag with you.

Gamo probably should have stuck with the whole Red/Blue color codes on the mags instead of just going all red???

If you are having problems with the magazine, it is probably the pellets you are using. Use ONLY highly polished tin, or copper pellets. Anything you can write with on a piece of paper is going to build up material after 2 or three uses (If you get that far). Once lead has attached to the upper and lower discs and O-Ring hold band on the interior of the magazine, it will no longer accept pellets, and if it does, it will not rotate to the next round. This is more prevalent on the .22 magazine.

Convenience of ordering with the air rifle.

This order was not received and was put on backorder.
I requested a refund on Jan 11 but on Feb 12 still have not received anything.

I have 77 year old fingers with arthritis and i have no problems loading this magazine. i would recommend these to anyone.

I think this is a great airgun, for the price it is outstanding

The .22 cal magazine is easy to load with pellets. The indicator lets you know at a glance how many shots is left before mag reload. Nice! Nice to have 10 shots before a reload.

Nothing I can think of.

Great product for the money and they are user friendly.

Takes a few times to get used to loading efficiently. Once you get familiar with it, it loads nicely. No misfires or jams yet. I have only put about 100 pellets through it but it has been flawless.

Get an extra magazine or 2. It's a lot of fun and going through a magazine happens pretty quickly.

Easy to load

I don't like to drop pellets in the grass (or leaves in the fall) so I have 5 of these 10 shot magazines that I carry which I'm able to load in the comfort of my den. They are easy to carry and reload into my swarm in the field.

When it is working correctly, this magazine is awesome. The one that came with my rifle started acting up, was hard to load pellets and would advance the next pellet slowly. Pyramyd Air replaced the magazine at no cost, new one is working just fine.

Nothing

Try to keep a mental track of how many pellets were fired and how many are left or suppose to be left. Dry firing a rifle is not good for it.

I own at least six of these magazines and have found they operate flawlessly -- when loaded properly: BE ALERT! ... no sleeping on the job! -- in the proper GAMO Swarm series of rifles and sister-rifles. I've read that others have found them to be unreliable: not my experience!

They cost $14.99 each. I'd say they are likely more realistically and better priced at $8.99 to $10.99: volume sales would make up the difference, folks!

The GAMO line of air rifles is supposed to be lower end. I own some pretty high end air rifles in .22 calibre (e.g., Diana 350 Magnum) and think the GAMO holds up better than "fairly well" against them. When GAMO came out with the Swarm Maxxim I thought I'd try a GAMO. The scope that comes with it is, in my view, lousy -- I promptly replaced it with something FAR AND AWAY more substantial. Yet, on the subject of the magazine for the GAMO Swarm line, they are simply great!

Well made.
