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

Nice to have a spare magazine on hand. The display to show how many pellets are left is a great idea.

Sometimes I start to load from the wrong side. It would be nice to have a better indicator on the right side to load the pellets. The current recessed images are hard to see in low light. It retails for $15.00, a bit high in my opinion, maybe $7-8 would be more reasonable?

Be sure to push the pellets all the way in when loading but do not deform it. Manufacturer recommends that the gun be stored without the magazine installed, so be sure to remove it when putting the gun away.

Works well

Same as original magazine that comes with the air rifle. Works perfectly.

Lower mailing cost for this small almost weightless item.

Easy to manually load with pellets. Magazine clicks into rifle with positive "feel." (The Swarm rifle/scope is one of the more accurate combos I own. Easy to cock, also!)

IMHO, $15 is a bit steep for this plastic shell & spring. Still, I'm picking up a few extra, mainly as backups in case the one that comes with the rifle breaks. I wish these were metal instead of plastic... I wish the rifle had some sort of "pellet in chamber/gun has been cocked" visual indicator...not just "pellets remaining."

My biggest gripes about this "auto-loading" pellet rifle:
1) One must mentally keep track of whether loaded pellet has been fired, otherwise it might be very easy to "double-load" the rifle.
2) I wish the rifle would go to safe every time it is cocked. Every other break barrel I have works this way. One must or should remember to manually put rifle on safe after every shot.
3) Manually loading each pellet, one-at-a-time with a standard break barrel rifle is time consuming. BE WARNED! Plinking with this Swarm you WILL run through pellets MUCH FASTER than usual.
