Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key upgrades in the Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN2?

The Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN2 features a new lay-flat, recoil-activated 10X magazine system to prevent double-feeding and improved fiber optic open sights, which were highly anticipated by users.

How does the new 10X GEN2 magazine system work?

The GEN2 magazine is recoil-activated, meaning it only feeds the next pellet into the chamber after the rifle has been fired. This design prevents common double-feeding issues found in older multi-shot break-barrel airguns.

What kind of accuracy can be expected from the Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN2?

Accuracy testing showed a 1-inch group at 25 yards with the open sights. When equipped with an ATN X-Sight LTV scope, it produced a very tight group smaller than a US quarter at 30 yards.

What velocities were achieved during testing?

Using a chronograph, the rifle averaged around 977 FPS with RWS Hobby pellets, reached approximately 1150 FPS with Gamo PBA Platinum pellets, and averaged about 880 FPS with Gamo Rocket pellets.
