Dry dead bone is not what I shoot on a hunt, living bone properties are as entirely different as dry and living leaves. However, I have high confidence in the Gamo.
living bone is much stronger, you have skin and flesh... so I wish this guy would have stated as such so people dont go inhumanly dispatching cows or other animals with this and wonder why the animal didn't drop dead and is freaking out in pain
I was considering a Gamo, though today I spoke with a respected veteran shooter who “ Warned against getting a Gamo - he said they were vastly over rated”
@@datheat2854 if your going to spend $300+ on a break barrel, I'd get a UMAREX ORIGIN .22 and .25 or the new Gauntlet G2 in .22 .25 and .30 those are probably the best for their price as well as the Air Venturi Avenger. I have a Magnum and in my opinion not worth $300+ should be more in the $200 range. and wish i would have seen these better High power bigger calibre PCPs before buying a Gamo.
MAN YOU'VE EARNED MY SUBSCRIPTION COZ OF THIS VIDEO!!! Honestly watching your first video regarding this rifle, i felt sad because you said that you're not recommending the use of this rifle for hunting in medium to long range but now i loved this video that you've made man it showed the POWER of our GAMO SWARM MAGNUM .22 CAL GEN 2!!! please do continue making more videos for us owners of this rifle....Stay safe and God bless man...
@Jim Olarte Thanks for jumping onto the HSL team! I really am super surprised at how well it did. Impressive! I will take after some groundhogs soon and will definitely do a vid with those hunts.
@adamrichie741 I’m glad you enjoy the topic. Check out my air rifle playlist. I’ve done a ton of these. Have two done with a freshly killed deer and a freshly killed bear.
If you like head shots, the H&N Hornet shoots as well in that gun as any domed pellet I have used. The metal tip won't bounce off a skull as easily, and if you are good at shooting springers, it is an 80 yard set up. I was amazed a tipped pellet files so well, but it does. I just bought 1,200 of them :)
Good to know, helps sell me on the higher price point. I like the powerflight by crossman in .22 and the hades. The rocket is great at close ranges. The powerflight is great when you need to punch through a lot of flesh/bone as the (maybe zinc) pellet is a lot harder than lead. I’ve even shot it through a folding metal chair at 20 yds and it barley deformed.
As an Australian,I have been disarmed…. Can’t say I’m not alarmed, By a lie I was charmed, it’s fortunate for the elites thinking they can’t be harmed.. Hang on to that thought, I’ll get it embalmed.. Anyways….. nice video… Half your luck mate… ❤️🕊☝️🙏…
@Mark Lambert I am sorry for your situation. America is currently being deceived and it seems as though at least half the population is blind. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Best of luck to you! God help us all.
May I give you a tip on shooting a springer? Try not to touch it, except for squeezing the trigger, (A lighter trigger pull is nice when you are not touching the gun, and you can do that with a longer screw easily with that gun. It is the little Phillip's screw that is bottomed out on the head, right behind the trigger). You probably already hold the gun lightly, but to add, do not press your face or shoulder on the butt stock, (it takes practice to remember). I push the gun from my face and shoulder before I pull the trigger, just barely touching the stock, which is a long lever actually. Just let the gun rest on your hands like it is suspended by 2 strings, and try to pull the trigger with out moving the gun. When you get used to it, your 50 yard groups will be bottle caps,---maybe even to 80 yards on a bag. The idea is, the gun is moving before the pellet leaves the barrel, so if different forces are on the stock, the muzzle will not be in the same place when the pellet leaves it because the force on the stock is dampening the vibration of the gun inconsistantly. If you can hold it tightly the same every time, that wold work to,---but it is just easier to repeat zero force on the stock.
@specialed1942 Thank you! Man... that turkey! He’s driving me crazy!!! I hope he slows down some soon. Breeding season is coming to a close so fingers crossed. If not, I may be doing some type of turkey recipe video.
But would the pellets penetrate those skulls if alive? Passing through tough hide and muscle tissues? Regardless of that, the rifle seems pretty powerful and accurate. Did you ever have issues with the 10 round clip mis-feeding or jamming up at all?
@Casual2020 I’m gonna guess that the coyote and smaller would not be a problem. The bear and cow not so much. I’m pulling out my 556 if I’m predator hunting but cool to know that a break barrel pellet rifle can do that! Big upgrade from my 1990s Crossman!!! Regarding the 10x mag… The only problem I’ve had with it is when trying to shoot the Gamo Raptor PBA pellets. They wound not feed correctly.
Not sure what dried skull tests achieve? I used a Sheridan model C pumper way back in the day to dispatch coyotes and foxes that I trapped in the city using 4 or 5 pumps. Using the 15.1gr .20cal "bantam" straight walled pellets, which looked like slugs. Those pellets had a lot of antinomy added, so they didn't expand much. They had no issues humanely dropping coyotes, and red fox's. Albeit around 10 yards. But very effective.
@michaelwthalman They were fun. They also achieved the same results as fresh killed animals. Check out my air rifle playlist. I did the same test on a fresh killed whitetail doe and in a fresh killed black bear.
Would be interesting to see 1” pine test done. Put 2 boards back to back at about 6 feet and see what happens. The accuracy of the magnum is very impressive. I think 1” pine with a layer of Upholstery leather would give you a pretty good analog for punching through medium size game skull. I’ve done this test with 2 layers of leather and 2 pine boards at 50 yds and got pass through with a 25 cal pcp making about 47 fpe. Would be interesting to see what the mag can do.
Actually, you got 4 shots (2 in the same hole) on the soft part of the skull. On the part that is reinforced (look underneath) the pellets got stuck. Good shooting!!! Imagine with the whole head, skin, and everithing.
Thanks for sharing the video!!! Id love to have seen a point of comparison. Like including one of the average Gamo Swarm models in .22 to see just what that bump up to magnum gets you. I personally went back and fourth between the Magnum and Viper (both in .22). My reasoning is a big reason is finding a cheap and fun and quiet to shoot ALTERNATE to .22LR and the magnum seemed to just come too close to being the same thing on most fronts. Hope I choose right and don't loose too much substantial penetration having gone down from the Magnum to the Viper. Definitely liked the magnums looks better!! Anyway if anyone stuck thru my ramble God Bless you! lol Summary: would love to see a penetration (skull?) test between Standard velocities Gamo Swarm (like Viper), and the magnum and even throw in a .22lr for real comparison though so many choices velocities etc with .22lr it would likely be tough to choose your stand-in to represent the LR :p. If you are really feeling scientifically ambitious, adding in pellet gun comparisons of .17 and .25 (where applicable). Cheers and may God Bless you, your channel and extend to those of you here in comments :)
@perrys5954 Thank you for watching and for the comment! I really don’t care much for the magnum. It’s as loud as a 22lr with way less power. I do prefer the swarm whisper and the viper is super close to that.
@Phatboy414 Those are Captive Bolt Guns. They have a rod about 1/2" in diameter and around 4 inches long. Much more deadly than a pellet rifle... though pellet rifles most certainly can be deadly.
On a live animal with skin and blood playing a role on deflection it is critical you get a square shot on the skull , I think even a 12 foot pound .177 would penetrate through with no problem on any of these skulls . Critical to know the location of the brain on any head shot you take and distance you are shooting , the closer the better with so little kinetic energy on these springers .
I saw this video about 4 months ago. It made me ended up buying myself a Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen2 .22 pellet rifle too...it is really strong. But I get way more penetrating power with the Crosman Red Flight Penetrators...I bet if you would do a review with those pellets you will see how much more power this gun really has. It's like going from a regular round to a plus p. I shoot a torch propane can. The long blue ones. Those pellets go through and leave a big dent on the other side. That thing is really hard too. The only thing with the Red Flight Penetrators is that you have to remove the mag, cock the gun...lift the barrel up a little and load that pellet manually and then pull it back so the red stuff push the pellet in, then lock the barrel. It's too long to go in the mag. Manual insertion only. Would be nice to see you do a video with it shooting that cow skull. Those pellets are polymer I guess. Hard...like a zinc like material.
Just got mine yesterday its definitely a heavy hitter . ripping through my( rusty not rotted ) burn barrel at 25 yards . This video answered a bunch of questions I was wondering about lol .... 50 yards is even riskier if u think of muscle and Hyde on a live animal ..
@Daniel Gregson You are definitely correct. It is impressive though. Check out my air rifle playlist and watch the test I did with the swarm whisper. I had a real dear head for that one.
@Raymond Martin I’m betting it would still penetrate most of them just as well. In my opinion, however, I think 30 yards would be all I would ever consider attempting on them. And that would only be the coyote or smaller animal. It’s an impressive pellet rifle though for sure with the right pellet.
@@HuntShootLive i put a bb in the air skirt of a hollow point and shoot them backwards. They rip right thru a green propane bottle. I also made some cool pellets with cap gun rings.ruclips.net/video/8kF9Sn0gEVw/видео.html
@tyler Bruggeman Thank you! I am using the Gamo scope that came with the rifle. It has worked well so far. Around 500 rounds shot with it without problems. Some people have commented they have had problems with it but I have not yet.
I have one of these in 22 and have a utg swat on top it is a tack driver up to about 60 yards with game rocket pellets and with a well placed shot easily could take small and even some smaller medium game reliably
@Grey sky’s I believe you are correct. The flesh and muscle makes a difference as well. Check out my video with the swarm whisper. I used a deer head with flesh on.
Good video I'm not surprised at all that it did that that's like the most badass air rifle that you can basically pretty much get I'm actually what I'm surprised at is that it didn't go through the cow skull every time I've seen videos where that goes through 3/4 inch plywood but keep in mind every gun may not perform exactly the same just like cell phones sometimes you'll get one off the line that's a little bit better than others just keep that in mind
A dried empty skull is completely different from the skull of a living animal. How do we correlate the penetration from your tests when adding fur, flesh and a skull that is not brittle? Thanks.
@Axion You are free to draw whatever you wish from the test. I wouldn’t shoot any of those animals with a pellet rifle because I have a 5.56 that I predator hunt with and I won’t ever be shooting an angus cow with anything. The test was to see if it would do it and it did. Very unexpected in my opinion. The magnum is a potent break barrel pellet rifle. I won’t be hunting those animals with it but was enjoyable and informative to show that it is a powerful pellet rifle. Shooting boards is not comparable penetration to animals either but people do it all the time.
I have the swarm maxxim gen 1, swarm magnum gen 1 and the whisper fusion mach1 all in 22 cal. They are very good shooters and their light weight what makes them more desirable than other airguns on the market, however I am worried about one feature in Gamo rifles and that is the barrel lock being made of plastic including the chisel detent (the lock pin), basically the barrel is secured in its place by a plastic lock , I wonder after thousands of shots how would the rifle hold ?!!!!
@Paul Karkorian I’ve seen others mention that as a likely problem. I would think it would have to cause problems at some point. I guess that is part of why those air rifles are only $200-300.
I already had a problem with my Fusion on that same problem , which happened when I used Red Fire Gamo 22 cal . Had to bring it to the gentleman that sold it to me and we both found out the pin came off the track when I closed the barrel and there was a pellet stuck in another pellet . LoL...he fixed it , now I'm just a bit soft on the Fusion...but my Whisper???!.... Let's just say I call him " Ole Reliable". Best darn air rifle I ever had. Nuff said. God bless y'all 👍✝️❤️🎣🏹🛶🇵🇷🇺🇸
@Terry Hall Thank you! The Red Fires are 4 grains lighter so I would imagine they would not penetrate as well. They are also made like a "ballistic tip" rifle bullet, which is not made for penetration but for max damage. I'm sure they would do just fine on a racoon or smaller though.
En España conocemos la marca gamo desde hace decenas de años. Se h ido mejorando hasta llegar a ser una de las mejores del sector económico. En España es ilegal, pero le puedes abrir un milímetro el transfer y conseguirás mas suavidad y mayor velocidad. Más no te lo recomiendo porque el estriado del cañón no absorbería la rotación del perdigón a tanta velocidad También le puedes poner un pistón más potente. Pero siempre debes de abrir el puerto de transferencia. Un saludo desde España.
I use this pellet gun to put holes in my frying pans when my food sticks to it at 30 to 40 yrds i hav the Gamo mag.single shot luv it hav better scope on it dialed in to i hit frying pans 70 to 90 yrds away at the range at 100 yrds to
@Charles Leggett The Diana 250 is advertised as shooting a .22 cal. pellet around 740 fps. I chronographed the magnum at around 900 fps with a 14.3 grain pellet and the Whisper around 650 fps with the same pellet. So, if their advertised speed is accurate, it should preform similar to or a little better than the Whisper. I have a few videos out with the Whisper and just released a skull test with it tonight. Check those out and it may be similar to yours. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Don’t sleep in the crosman diamondback elite series. With their own brand alloy pellet I had the .177 go through a book a subsonic .22lr and a .38 special couldn’t make it through on a single shot. Yes, the other holes were bigger and damage overall greater, but for penetrating power I’d put my diamondback against any break barrel.
I believe with the right shot placement, the swarm magnum can drop a coyote at 30 yards ? Mine goes through a half inch wooden at 15 yards like nothing !
@Ralphruhl3 I don’t think it is hard but I’m sure that is relative to one’s physical strength. Some do say it is difficult to break. In a previous video, I chronoed the magnum topping out around 900 with a 14.3 pellet. I would have to guess it would be going around 800 with the 18.5.
Good tests. However, for me they aren't needed - last summer a good friend of mine (who lives in a village near my hometown) shot two badgers with cal. 22 Diana N-TEC 34 (I also happen to have this gun) from a distance of about 20 yards. Two copper-plated slugs (made by Norica, weight unknown), two head-shots, two clean kills. After the first one had been shot, the second one came to see what is going on with his buddy. Poor beasts were harassing my friend's orchard situated at the corner of his huge back yard (next to the vast sunflower field) where they entered by digging deep and long tunnels. The guy climbed on a tall walnut tree and after a few days during which he had a few unsuccessful sessions, took them from up there. edit: I just found these slugs on the Internet - their weight is 28 grains. Too bad they are rarely seen on shelves here in Serbia (my friend bought them in Hungary). Very first time I see them I'm gonna purchase hundreds of them...
@Tristen Fletcher Hey! I have not done one because there are a lot already out there. Are you specifically having problems with a certain aspect of it? Maybe I can answer a question you might have about that process.
@Tristen Fletcher If you are shooting less than 50 I would say turn it all the way down. Honestly, the parallax shouldn’t be a concern until a few hundred yards. If it’s in focus you should be okay with that setting.
Cow skull, consider the structure of the skull regarding the shots that did not penetrate. That's like trying to break a floor over a joist. I am not surprised it didn't pen.
Dry bones do not give accurate answers because they are bristle... And not strong... Testing with a fresh skull with hide and wet will give you great answers . However nice video.. much respect.. also that Gamo is one of the best manufactured break barrel.. and Will give some pco run for their money.. 💪
@LegionarCRO Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Check out my air rifle playlist. Have several more that are similar. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@Tim Kunk None were bleached. Boiled and dried in the sun. With the exception of the cows. They had naturally decayed. I washed with water and soap and sun dried.
If you really want to add penetration power get the H and N hornets with ballistic tip guaranteed it would have went right through that thick cow skull.
Love to see the same test with the Whisper too and Fusion .22 cal. That Magnum is no joke .. I believe it is as powerful and more as some PCP air rifles on the market. Awesome video. Wish I lived by you , so we could do some shooting n fishing.. God bless 👍✝️❤️🎣🏹🛶🇵🇷🇺🇸
I just purchased this air rifle and I am having no luck getting it zeroed in. Just when I think I’m getting close it will shoot high and right. I have actually gone through about half a can of pellets trying to site it in. I’m beginning to think I have a lemon.
@@HuntShootLive Thanks for the advice. I’ll give that a shot. I also ordered some JSB pellets to try in case the crosman high velocity pellets that I have been using are the issue.
@@Supersquid1776 I checked them and the mounts that came on the scope itself were not super tight. I didn’t check those as I should have since they were already on the scope. I cranked everything down tight and will test again tomorrow. Thanks for the advice all!
It is not really a fair comparison between live bone and dried bone. Live bone is more pliable and dried bone more brittle. Now is one more penetrable than the other I really can't say because I have never compared the two side by side.
@Scott Murphy Thanks for the comment! Check out my air rifle playlist. I’ve done a couple more with fresh heads. The magnum still penetrates well at 30 yards.
Hello, I live in Europe and I would like to buy a Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen2 rifle but no matter how hard I look for it, there is no store that has it but if there is a Gamo Repley Magnum gen2 I would like to know if they have knowledge of whether it is the same mechanism and the same Power thanks a lot and if you could help me I would appreciate it I don't have much experience I'm really starting in this but it's something I like and watching I think all your videos with the Gamo Swarm Magnum gen2 5.5 and I like how that rifle shoots, Greetings and thanks in advance.
U should have tried it out on them turkeys I here in the back ground....I shot n killed 1 about 15 yards .. uragan 30cal hades pellet. Dropped right there
Yes they will !!! I only shoot HP pellets, but my guns are pcp's. H&N terminators, hunters, crow magnums, hornets, and JSB hades will go thru rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, and bobcats easily, and also turtle shells. (I'm talking head shots) @50-60 yrds.
@woofman Yes most definitely. I wouldn’t even hunt coyotes with this because even a 22 LR is a better option but it is impressive to know an affordable pellet rifle can actually do that! Great gun for sure!
Cordial saludo. Escribo es español, mi idioma natal y esperaría la respuesta de la misma manera, así como la posible traducción de todos los comentarios y respuesta que deben ser muy interesantes. Considero que las condiciones de un craneo de animal del cual no se sabe como fue conseguido y menos “descarnado”, donde posiblemente se le aplicó alguna sustancia química o se sometió a algún procedimiento de cocción, pudo haber ablandado ese craneo, cosa muy distinta cuando se trata o se le dispara a un animal vivo. Por lo tanto, la penetración del tiro es diferente en ambos casos. Otro factor que no vi en los videos fue la “distancia” de tiro aunque para este rifle la velocidad sea de 1300 fps la cual es muy buena para caza menor.

It's like going from a regular round to a plus p. I shoot a torch propane can. The long blue ones. Those pellets go through and leave a big dent on the other side. That thing is really hard too. The only thing with the Red Flight Penetrators is that you have to remove the mag, cock the gun...lift the barrel up a little and load that pellet manually and then pull it back so the red stuff push the pellet in, then lock the barrel. It's too long to go in the mag. Manual insertion only. Would be nice to see you do a video with it shooting that cow skull. Those pellets are polymer I guess. Hard...like a zinc like material.
try the prometheus .22 pellets ...
Do you have skull test for gamo whisper
@Everette Welch I will have that video up in a few weeks. Hopefully two to three weeks from now.
Great video. Also enjoy your responds to the comments. Regards from Indonesia.
@Barvo Papa Thank you! I appreciate you for watching. Thank you for the comment.
Thank you for your test it was what i was looking for , i am planning to buy gamo replay magnum gen 2 here in Greece!
Στο συνιστώ άνετα πάρτε ένα γενικά θα σας φανεί αρκετά χρήσιμο και είναι και πολύ δυνατό
That was an awesome video, sir!
@The Dollar Sportsman Thank you!
Surprised at results 👍🏽
Just got mine yesterday its definitely a heavy hitter . ripping through my( rusty not rotted ) burn barrel at 25 yards . This video answered a bunch of questions I was wondering about lol .... 50 yards is even riskier if u think of muscle and Hyde on a live animal ..
@briroc26 It’s a good pellet rifle but definitely better options out there for medium to large animals. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
100% but for under 150$$ cant beat it !
Add the bear skin and fat and it might have some more trouble punching through, but that thing is such a beast for a break barrel. I love mine.
@Daniel Gregson You are definitely correct. It is impressive though. Check out my air rifle playlist and watch the test I did with the swarm whisper. I had a real dear head for that one.
How many joule have your air gun?
Hey brother I'd like to see what I can do at 75 and 100 yd on all those skulls
@Raymond Martin I’m betting it would still penetrate most of them just as well. In my opinion, however, I think 30 yards would be all I would ever consider attempting on them. And that would only be the coyote or smaller animal. It’s an impressive pellet rifle though for sure with the right pellet.
You've gotta try the Gamo Lethal Pellets, devastating pellet
Gamolitos
Read that pellets fall from the swarm magazine. Have you experienced it?
@Animesh Kumar I have only had this happen with the super light PBA pellets. No problems with 14 grain and heavier.
Try shooting the skulls from head-on or the side! I want to see what would happen if you were to shoot an animal from a more realistic angle
@cakeba I have another vid planned so I’ll give that a try. Check out my Whisper video. I had a deer skull with flesh on and I did some side shots.
Gotta try a gamo rocket pellet on the cow skull
@Dustin h I have some of those on the way. I will be doing another skull video in a few weeks.
@@HuntShootLive i put a bb in the air skirt of a hollow point and shoot them backwards. They rip right thru a green propane bottle. I also made some cool pellets with cap gun rings.ruclips.net/video/8kF9Sn0gEVw/видео.html
You should do the test again with dieseling the pellets.
Great video. Wondering if your using the stock scope the gun came with or if you've upgraded the scope, if so which one did you go with? Thanks!
@tyler Bruggeman Thank you! I am using the Gamo scope that came with the rifle. It has worked well so far. Around 500 rounds shot with it without problems. Some people have commented they have had problems with it but I have not yet.
Good test I had no idea the swarm had that kinda power.
Great video! What scope did you use and at what distance did you zero it?
@Kevin Hodges Thanks for watching! It is the scope that came with the Gamo. Zeroed at 30 yards. I was holding about 5 inches high.
Try gamo rockets
Saludos
Buen video
Pregunto, a que distancia fueron realizados los primeros disparos
@Ricardo Angel 45 meters
9:34
Go get that turkey.
Go get that, turkey.
I have one of these in 22 and have a utg swat on top it is a tack driver up to about 60 yards with game rocket pellets and with a well placed shot easily could take small and even some smaller medium game reliably
Dried out skulls become brittle, I’m not sure this would be the same outcome on a fresh skull
@Grey sky’s I believe you are correct. The flesh and muscle makes a difference as well. Check out my video with the swarm whisper. I used a deer head with flesh on.
@@HuntShootLive you have a link or date I would like to see that,
@Grey sky’s You can find it in my Air Rifle playlist. Released May 28.
@@HuntShootLive will check in out 👍🏻
I Was thinking should of covered it with some leather
Dude your biceps are huge!
Good video I'm not surprised at all that it did that that's like the most badass air rifle that you can basically pretty much get I'm actually what I'm surprised at is that it didn't go through the cow skull every time I've seen videos where that goes through 3/4 inch plywood but keep in mind every gun may not perform exactly the same just like cell phones sometimes you'll get one off the line that's a little bit better than others just keep that in mind
A dried empty skull is completely different from the skull of a living animal. How do we correlate the penetration from your tests when adding fur, flesh and a skull that is not brittle? Thanks.
@Axion You are free to draw whatever you wish from the test. I wouldn’t shoot any of those animals with a pellet rifle because I have a 5.56 that I predator hunt with and I won’t ever be shooting an angus cow with anything. The test was to see if it would do it and it did. Very unexpected in my opinion. The magnum is a potent break barrel pellet rifle. I won’t be hunting those animals with it but was enjoyable and informative to show that it is a powerful pellet rifle. Shooting boards is not comparable penetration to animals either but people do it all the time.
I have the swarm maxxim gen 1, swarm magnum gen 1 and the whisper fusion mach1 all in 22 cal.
They are very good shooters and their light weight what makes them more desirable than other airguns on the market, however I am worried about one feature in Gamo rifles and that is the barrel lock being made of plastic including the chisel detent (the lock pin), basically the barrel is secured in its place by a plastic lock , I wonder after thousands of shots how would the rifle hold ?!!!!
@Paul Karkorian I’ve seen others mention that as a likely problem. I would think it would have to cause problems at some point. I guess that is part of why those air rifles are only $200-300.
I already had a problem with my Fusion on that same problem , which happened when I used Red Fire Gamo 22 cal . Had to bring it to the gentleman that sold it to me and we both found out the pin came off the track when I closed the barrel and there was a pellet stuck in another pellet . LoL...he fixed it , now I'm just a bit soft on the Fusion...but my Whisper???!.... Let's just say I call him " Ole Reliable". Best darn air rifle I ever had. Nuff said. God bless y'all 👍✝️❤️🎣🏹🛶🇵🇷🇺🇸
@The Lone Angler Glad you got it fixed. I’ll take note of that in case I ever have to troubleshoot mine. God bless you and yours!
Sir, I love your videos. Would you please do a video similar to this with the gammo red fire
@Terry Hall Thank you! The Red Fires are 4 grains lighter so I would imagine they would not penetrate as well. They are also made like a "ballistic tip" rifle bullet, which is not made for penetration but for max damage. I'm sure they would do just fine on a racoon or smaller though.
Great testing 👍😁
Thank you!
En España conocemos la marca gamo desde hace decenas de años. Se h ido mejorando hasta llegar a ser una de las mejores del sector económico. En España es ilegal, pero le puedes abrir un milímetro el transfer y conseguirás mas suavidad y mayor velocidad. Más no te lo recomiendo porque el estriado del cañón no absorbería la rotación del perdigón a tanta velocidad También le puedes poner un pistón más potente. Pero siempre debes de abrir el puerto de transferencia. Un saludo desde España.
Was it the gen 1 or gen 2 magnum
@Ezekiel Galva Gen 2
That was interesting vid! Nice shooting!
@Tyler Bee Thank you! Thanks for watching!!!
Great comparisson thank you
@Einfach Rouven Thank you! Check out the final video of that series here…
ruclips.net/video/DH9494rV2vM/видео.html
The pellet that does the best job at penetration is the H&N Hornet!
@frios011 I have heard from several people that those are excellent.
Will you do the same test with the swarm whisper?
@Paul Karkorian Yes, I will do a similar test. I have deer, bear, raccoon, and cow skulls left to test with. Should have it up in a few weeks.
@@HuntShootLive hey did you try a deer skull?
I use this pellet gun to put holes in my frying pans when my food sticks to it at 30 to 40 yrds i hav the Gamo mag.single shot luv it hav better scope on it dialed in to i hit frying pans 70 to 90 yrds away at the range at 100 yrds to
I just bought a Diana 250. How does this rifle compare to the Diana 250? Would you say the magnum is twice as powerful?
@Charles Leggett The Diana 250 is advertised as shooting a .22 cal. pellet around 740 fps. I chronographed the magnum at around 900 fps with a 14.3 grain pellet and the Whisper around 650 fps with the same pellet. So, if their advertised speed is accurate, it should preform similar to or a little better than the Whisper. I have a few videos out with the Whisper and just released a skull test with it tonight. Check those out and it may be similar to yours. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Don’t sleep in the crosman diamondback elite series. With their own brand alloy pellet I had the .177 go through a book a subsonic .22lr and a .38 special couldn’t make it through on a single shot. Yes, the other holes were bigger and damage overall greater, but for penetrating power I’d put my diamondback against any break barrel.
*on* don’t sleep on lol
@Edward Stechschulte Not familiar with that. I’ll have to look the diamondback up!
I have a Diamondback in .22 and it’s a beast for sure.
Pleas tel me how many jouli your gamo?
@Hubert Tomasik
around 34.15
I believe with the right shot placement, the swarm magnum can drop a coyote at 30 yards ? Mine goes through a half inch wooden at 15 yards like nothing !
@Peter Green I would trust it on a coyote with a well placed head shot for sure.
I have the maxim but I might have to get the magnum too after watching your review.
@Matt Lunsford I’ve not got to shoot the maxim but the magnum is a great break barrel!
Is it hard to break the barrel ? How fast is the 18.5 grain pellet at muzzle?
@Ralphruhl3 I don’t think it is hard but I’m sure that is relative to one’s physical strength. Some do say it is difficult to break.
In a previous video, I chronoed the magnum topping out around 900 with a 14.3 pellet. I would have to guess it would be going around 800 with the 18.5.
@@HuntShootLive thank you very much
try a slug
@YA-ee9zf Check out my air rifle playlist. I’ve done several other pellets and also tested on fresh killed deer and bear.
Good tests. However, for me they aren't needed - last summer a good friend of mine (who lives in a village near my hometown) shot two badgers with cal. 22 Diana N-TEC 34 (I also happen to have this gun) from a distance of about 20 yards. Two copper-plated slugs (made by Norica, weight unknown), two head-shots, two clean kills. After the first one had been shot, the second one came to see what is going on with his buddy. Poor beasts were harassing my friend's orchard situated at the corner of his huge back yard (next to the vast sunflower field) where they entered by digging deep and long tunnels. The guy climbed on a tall walnut tree and after a few days during which he had a few unsuccessful sessions, took them from up there.
edit: I just found these slugs on the Internet - their weight is 28 grains. Too bad they are rarely seen on shelves here in Serbia (my friend bought them in Hungary). Very first time I see them I'm gonna purchase hundreds of them...
You should do a comparison to the .177 magnum
@Jordan Peron Yes I would like to do that. Need to get my hands on one!
@@HuntShootLive I have a brand new one if you would like to use it idk where your from but I'm close to Cincinnati oh
@Jordan Peron I appreciate that. I’m in Virginia so that would be a little far!
Can you make a video on have to set a scoop
@Tristen Fletcher Hey! I have not done one because there are a lot already out there. Are you specifically having problems with a certain aspect of it? Maybe I can answer a question you might have about that process.
@@HuntShootLive yea on my scope it has the adjustable objective on the front of the scope what yards do I keep it on
@Tristen Fletcher If you are shooting less than 50 I would say turn it all the way down. Honestly, the parallax shouldn’t be a concern until a few hundred yards. If it’s in focus you should be okay with that setting.
Try H,N HAMMERS 14.66 gr. I LOVE THEM THINGS
are those old dried up skulls that you could poke your finger through??
@farmerrog3679 No. But here is a test with a fresh killed deer.
ruclips.net/video/DH9494rV2vM/видео.htmlsi=v4wWI8dDnRuwT1FJ
Cow skull, consider the structure of the skull regarding the shots that did not penetrate. That's like trying to break a floor over a joist. I am not surprised it didn't pen.
Dry bones do not give accurate answers because they are bristle... And not strong... Testing with a fresh skull with hide and wet will give you great answers . However nice video.. much respect.. also that Gamo is one of the best manufactured break barrel.. and Will give some pco run for their money.. 💪
Wouldn't the test be better if the skulls were at a side profile? Unless your stand shooting?
@Violent Kisses Check out my newest video. It sums up the whole issue. Check my air rifle playlist for several other follow ups to this one.
yess!! I needed this video
@LegionarCRO Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Check out my air rifle playlist. Have several more that are similar. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Very impressive indeed !
Were the skulls bleached?
@Tim Kunk None were bleached. Boiled and dried in the sun. With the exception of the cows. They had naturally decayed. I washed with water and soap and sun dried.
If you really want to add penetration power get the H and N hornets with ballistic tip guaranteed it would have went right through that thick cow skull.
@Will White Several others have recommended those. They are a little expensive but I may have to grab some!
my magnum loves em
Those H&N Hornets are vicious....I hit a Squirrel in the side of the head with a .25.....SHEEET....
Love to see the same test with the Whisper too and Fusion .22 cal. That Magnum is no joke .. I believe it is as powerful and more as some PCP air rifles on the market. Awesome video. Wish I lived by you , so we could do some shooting n fishing.. God bless 👍✝️❤️🎣🏹🛶🇵🇷🇺🇸
@The Lone Angler I’ll have this test with the whisper up in a few weeks.
Great video.
I just purchased this air rifle and I am having no luck getting it zeroed in. Just when I think I’m getting close it will shoot high and right. I have actually gone through about half a can of pellets trying to site it in. I’m beginning to think I have a lemon.
@Bart J Maybe remount your scope and make sure all that is right. Try another scope if that doesn’t work. It may be the scope instead of the gun.
@@HuntShootLive Thanks for the advice. I’ll give that a shot. I also ordered some JSB pellets to try in case the crosman high velocity pellets that I have been using are the issue.
Make Sure ALL Of Your Screws Are Tight!!!
@@Supersquid1776 I checked them and the mounts that came on the scope itself were not super tight. I didn’t check those as I should have since they were already on the scope. I cranked everything down tight and will test again tomorrow. Thanks for the advice all!
@@bartj7843 Sounds Good!!!🙂👍
I would like to see your pellets
@Ali Thongs I did another skull video with the swarm whisper and showed some of them in that video. All completely flat!
is a human skull less strong than a cowskull?
Never a doubt
It is not really a fair comparison between live bone and dried bone. Live bone is more pliable and dried bone more brittle. Now is one more penetrable than the other I really can't say because I have never compared the two side by side.
@Scott Murphy Thanks for the comment! Check out my air rifle playlist. I’ve done a couple more with fresh heads. The magnum still penetrates well at 30 yards.
I use this pellet rifle to dispatch my hogs. Works great.
@sherm dog It is impressive for sure!
Murder the hogs
Everyone knows it takes an antitank round to dispatch hogs.
those eye sockets are huge.
Hello, I live in Europe and I would like to buy a Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen2 rifle but no matter how hard I look for it, there is no store that has it but if there is a Gamo Repley Magnum gen2 I would like to know if they have knowledge of whether it is the same mechanism and the same Power thanks a lot and if you could help me I would appreciate it I don't have much experience I'm really starting in this but it's something I like and watching I think all your videos with the Gamo Swarm Magnum gen2 5.5 and I like how that rifle shoots, Greetings and thanks in advance.
Hello! I don’t have knowledge of that. I would encourage you to email that question to Gamo.
Nice video 👍😊👍😊
@Waseem Hunting Thank you!
U should have tried it out on them turkeys I here in the back ground....I shot n killed 1 about 15 yards .. uragan 30cal hades pellet. Dropped right there
@BIG EARL I’m sure a headshot would do the trick!
Agreed. Dry bones are not even the same as living breathing animal. I can say from experience.
@Eric Larsen HBE LeatherWorks Check out my air rifle playlist. Repeated this test on a fresh killed deer and fresh killed bear. Same results.
Nice video I subscribed
@Alan Spring Thank you!
How much?
@Suriya Chooloet Are you asking how much the Gamo costs? Around 300. The Amazon link is in the description.
300ลิงก์ถ้าเป็นเงินไทยประมาณเท่าไหร่ครับต้องสั่งชื้อได้ยังไง
Man ..those hands r big
Did you use Hollow Point bullet?
Hollow Point cannot penetrate, even rabbit skull.
@the Sanctuary I used the 14 grain premier domed magnum pellets in this test.
Yes they will !!! I only shoot HP pellets, but my guns are pcp's. H&N terminators, hunters, crow magnums, hornets, and JSB hades will go thru rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, and bobcats easily, and also turtle shells. (I'm talking head shots) @50-60 yrds.
Fps?
@Bruno Salas Around 900. Check out my pellet rifle playlist. Did a comprehensive chronograph test.
hitting a live animal with hide and muscle/fat etc will be different of course, but gamo magnums are no joke, they'll put a bad guy down
@woofman Yes most definitely. I wouldn’t even hunt coyotes with this because even a 22 LR is a better option but it is impressive to know an affordable pellet rifle can actually do that! Great gun for sure!
i have the original gamo magnum 22 cal, it's no joke
I'm sold. I am heading out to buy one
@winston wedderburn It is a great break barrel air rifle! I hope you are pleased. Shoot safe!
Cordial saludo. Escribo es español, mi idioma natal y esperaría la respuesta de la misma manera, así como la posible traducción de todos los comentarios y respuesta que deben ser muy interesantes. Considero que las condiciones de un craneo de animal del cual no se sabe como fue conseguido y menos “descarnado”, donde posiblemente se le aplicó alguna sustancia química o se sometió a algún procedimiento de cocción, pudo haber ablandado ese craneo, cosa muy distinta cuando se trata o se le dispara a un animal vivo. Por lo tanto, la penetración del tiro es diferente en ambos casos. Otro factor que no vi en los videos fue la “distancia” de tiro aunque para este rifle la velocidad sea de 1300 fps la cual es muy buena para caza menor.
You should try a cow's head with skin and muscles since the skin and muscles would protect the skull and brain.
That would be awesome if I can get ahold of one!
Ya. Ur not punching a cow skull with that thing. But I think it'd wax a live yote from 50
