I love my Gamo Arrow, only thing it broke on me after 4 months of use. I only got it back from repair since I waited more than a year to send it to Gamo, since they told me I'd have to pay for shipping costs. Anyway doing research, many other users complained about the same thing happening to their Arrow, which was it wouldn't discharge air because the valve firing pin would break and fail. I read someone saying it was a common problem and that Gamo was aware of the defect and seems to have fixed later batches. I bought mine at the end of 2022, but I don't know. Please let us know if you have such a failure on your unit. Mine's happened suddenly, just one day out of nowhere I tried to fire it and it wouldn't release any air. I'm hoping the repair holds and doesn't break again, I'd really like to purchase the "classic" version which has more power and a wooden stock.
Yes mine broke twice in the end i gave it back in and exchanged to another gun however mine was a different fault which was power fluctuation anywhere from 8.2 ft/lbs to 9.9ft/lbs making the pellets go anywhere apparently this gun now is distributed by Edgar Brothers as BSA/GAMO want nothing to do with it. And you can see why it certainly as issues up to this day
@rcontour aw no! So you won't post any follow up videos on the Arrow? BTW 8-9 fpe sounds very low. I don't have a chrony, but other youtubers average 16-18 fpe. With my testing I would compare penetration shooting 2×4 wood with the Gamo Arrow compared to my Gamo Whisper Swarm, and the Arrow seems to have a little edge in penetration
@@theFormidable1 Its in the up and coming battle league but it never wins a game as its so erratic and that was even with the replacement gun which was the same so i just returned it i wouldnt be happy selling it someone
@rcontour ok I'll look out for that upload. I was looking at the Beeman 1336. Gamo Arrow is my first PCP, and don't know much about Beeman 1336 but just seen a comparison and I like the 900 fps it's putting out in 22
