    Thank you for your time effort and support as well as your thoroughness in helping me understand as well as appreciate the differences airgunning and/ or rimfire guns I think airgunning is more of a challenge in honing the skill that is perfected in powder weapons. I have both a swarm whisper and a swarm magnum and though the Magnum is the more powerful of the two no doubt about it like in life we stick to our strengths and inside of the 50-60yds.ranges the whisper is just as lethal depending on the weight or grain of the pellets with the Magnum not holding as accurate with the lighter crosman premiers (14.3gr) they bouce all over the place. Try H+N's .22cal.23gr. slugs or 21 and that would be the . 217's in the whisper and I bet you a dollar to donuts you'll say Dam! I love the Swarm Whisper too it was my first Gamo. I also have the Swarm Hunter that hangs on the rack amongst them too and rightly so. Thanks again for your commentary appreciate you

    Just bought the swarm whisper for 150. For my needs and it having a magazine load was just what I was looking for. If I was in the pest control business, then I would be investing in multiple airguns with different capabilities for much higher cost equipment. Busting a few rodents in the garden before they ruin the entire crop year for 150$ is within my budget and I hope it’ll get the bang for the buck.

      If I shoot it a lot, I might end up with arms like yours! It will probably get easier when it's broken in. I find that bracing the butt against the ground makes loading it much easier. This rifle makes a unique "PLOK" sound. My 177 Gamo Big Cat 1200 makes more of a "SPROING" sound.

    @motorgearhead 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Very insightful video that was certainly helpful.
    I like seeing the FPE (ft/lbs) of energy rating of air rifles along with velocities.
    I took a quick minute to run numbers on the 22 CB short I think you were using, the 22 LR, Gamo Magnum & Swarm air rifles.
    presuming all rim fire ammo was of the 40 grain variety: I know some shorts use sub 40 grain projectiles.....
    22 Short = 24 FPE (CB loading?)
    22 LR = 113 FPE
    Gamo Swarm = 14 FPE
    Gamo Mag = 24 FPE
    Do you see any accuracy advantage between the Swarm or the Magnum? I have a couple springers & the faster shooting (higher FPE) guns seem a little less accurate. Now of course that could just be me....

    • @HuntShootLive
      @HuntShootLive  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @motorgearhead Thank you! Both guns are similar in accuracy and pretty well like the same pellets it seems. I personally prefer the whisper because it doesn’t seem to recoil as bad. Seems like the magnum shakes instead of a straight back recoil.

    I guarantee the Hoppes air rifle cleaning kit will increase fps 200 to 300 a gun merchant at big 5 showed me this in TH-cam video. You have to take in consideration of the elevation you live in I live in low elevation so I get a average of 775 to 925 with Gamo swarm with lead pellets. Also cleaning your pellets with dish soap and water in a strainer then dry on a rag and oil your pellets a Lil big with gun oil. My swarm whisper now Almost compares to my 22 LR.

    • @HuntShootLive
      @HuntShootLive  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Michael Kemple I’m sure accuracy and speed would change depending on the pellet but it should be a predictable speed variance between the two pellet rifles. The air pressure capability is the same in each rifle regardless of the pellet. The magnum will continue to shoot anything about 200 FPS faster than the whisper. It may be possible to get the magnum over 1000 but I’m sure it would take a very light pellet and this magnum would not shoot the light ones.

    You talk about shooting long range, have you tried or looked into IHMSA matches? These are shooting long range pistols to 200 meters, which is 220 yards, with open sights. I used a Thompson Center Contender single shot I various calibers. It's about the best combination of power and accuracy. The 200 meter target is a steel cutout of a ram, and these can weigh &0-60 pounds. All targets must be knocked over for a point. I settled on a 30-30 barrel shooting 147 grain jacketed bullet over a charge of Accurate Arms 5744 powder. This was in the 1990's, and don't know if that powder still exists. I shot in these matches all over western Washington State, and had a great time. I also shot in NRA Hunter Pistol matches, and that competition allows scopes.

    I'm finding myself in a little bit of a crossroad. I know that the Gamo swarm Magnum has more power as far as being able to launch either heavier pellets at a faster velocity than the whisper. But I noticed it on some of your field test the whisper seems to be more accurate at shorter distances. My question is that if I was to spend the extra money and buy the Magnum toward would I be sacrificing accuracy for power.

    • @HuntShootLive
      @HuntShootLive  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @Everette Welch I don’t think what little distance you gain with the Magnum is worth it. It’s very little gain. To me, the whisper feels better, shoots smoother (less shake from the gas piston), and shoots almost as far. It is by far my pick. I don’t think the magnum is even close to being worth the extra money.

Mine does better with an 18 or 21gr pellet. And you're right, the G2 Swarm Magnum is unpleasant to shoot, it's a beast to cock and the recoil is unbelievable, it feels like a shockwave going through the whole gun. But.. at 70+yds it groups better than my other .22 with alot less drop. And for plinking and shorter range target shooting I definitely like the lower powered .22 better.

      @Greg Demeter I believe the pellets I used in the velocity test were 14 grain and they were only in the 800fps range. 17 grain would be a little slower I would think. The advertised speed is with super light weight alloy pellets. I could not get those light weights to shoot well. I prefer the heavier pellets even though they are slower.

      @HuntShootLive  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Walter Shumate It’s the super light weight of the alloy, not the material itself that makes the difference. Problem is, the light weight alloy won’t shoot worth crap out of the gun. Even if they did shoot, I would have to question the ability to penetrate. 14 grain doesn’t hit like 22 grain so I’m sure 9 grain would be terrible performance.

    Gamo is claiming 1300fps on the magnum using the PBA Raptor 9.7gr alloy pellets. If they worked properly in the magazine (they don't), they were accurate (they're horrible in the magnum), that'd be 36fpe(49J) at the muzzle. That's more than a lot of popular PCP guns, so clearly they got creative with the math.
    That said, 14.5gr@875fps is 25fpe (33J), which means it's definitely still in the same (power) class as common PCP guns, which is great. Accuracy otoh is... disappointing. I'm about to go test some 21gr hp slugs in wet magazines to see how they expand at 15&30 yards. The damage normal ~14gr diablo pellets did to the thick rim of a heavy soup can base impressed me yesterday.

    • @HuntShootLive
      @HuntShootLive  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Nicholas Alt Yeah, they got very creative with the numbers. I prefer the Swarm Whisper. Much less shake from the pistol, just as accurate, and less expensive.

    • @NicholasA231
      @NicholasA231 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tests with 512 compressed, saturated magazine pages went well. The 21gr hp slugs did expand enough to increase energy transfer. Same result at both 15 and 25 yards. They went through almost 2 solid inches - over 400 pages. 14.4gr Gamo PBA bullet pellets didn't deform at all, but had almost complete penetration. They'll also blow a nice exit hole out of 3/4" MDF, which surprised me. Traditional wadcutter pellets went through about 175 pages at 25yd and the entrance "wound" was impressive - would hit hard at close range for targets not needing the penetration.
      I got the rifle specifically to handle raccoons taking our chickens, so the extra power over the whisper made that decision for me - 675fps w/14.5gr in the whisper is 15fpe vs 25fpe at the magnum's 875fps as per your tests. That's 2/3 more energy, and giving the ability to use PCP weight pellets and slugs is huge imo. The accuracy improved a lot after cleaning and running a couple alloy pellets through. I'm going to have to play with it some more and figure out what variables are impacting it.

    • @HuntShootLive
      @HuntShootLive  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @Joe_Goofball It’s the other way. The higher altitude you are the more muzzle velocity you retain down range. Air is less dense at higher altitude than at sea level. However, if you are shooting in very high heat at low altitude and very low heat at high altitude it could balance out. So, both temperature and altitude play a role in velocity.
