DPMS Full Auto SBR CO2-Powered BB Air Rifle with Dual Action Capability. The DPMS Full Auto is a. At GAMO we have over 50 years experience in designing high powered adult air rifles, airguns and ammunition for small game hunting and pest control. One of the reasons for our success is that we inspect each one of our components we produce. We manufacture all of our own metal parts, including our precision rifled steel barrels.
Gamo’s IGT, or Inert Gas Technology Piston Pellets
Gamo Swarm Maxxim is a gas-piston air rifle coming with the latest inert gas technology. Gamo IGT System (Inert Gas Technology) is the pressure technique for the pneumatic and sealed air rifle that replaces the customary spring with a gas piston. The appearance and use are equivalent to Gamo high-control compressed air rifles. A gas piston triggers these rifles. Compression spring is not used here. These rifles give a different firing sensation with smooth firing cycle and less vibration. It can provide an experience of smooth shooting with plenty of power and no buzz, twisting or twang. Moreover, it won’t lose power in the cold water.
Speed and Accuracy
The Gamo Swarm Maxxim comes both in .177 caliber and .22 caliber. It also maintains a consistent velocity of 1300 fps in .177 and 975 fps in .22 calibre. All these are a great source of ammunition. Though .22 caliber can be able to more accurate in its direction rather than .177 caliber. Choosing the most accurate pellets can produce the highest muzzle energy. H&N Field Target Trophy Green and RWS Hobby pellets are great for this air rifle. With lead pellets, the maximum muzzle velocity can be obtained.
Consistency
This air rifle can give 80% or above consistency. With pellets taste, it can give a consistency of average 10.12 fps. Again, the trigger pull weight may vary from the average of 4 Oz to 7 oz. The accuracy level is also pretty consistent. It tends to deliver higher power levels. With the lightest pellets, it can result in the maximum speed. The muzzle energy of the air rifle can be counted as 20 ft. /lbs. range with alloy pellets to 17.5 ft. /lbs. for lead pellets.
Shot Capacity and Performance
The shooting performance of the air rifle is extremely well. The Gamo Swam Maxxim has 10 shot magazine pellet loading capability which is called 10x quick-shot mostly. Each time the gun reloads when it is cocked. It is a very well balanced air rifle which is easy to get on target for a shot. The magazines have a reasonable counter visible on top that demonstrates the number of pellets staying in the magazine.
Multi-shot break barrel
It is a break barrel adult rifle with a rotary magazine of a multi-shot. It has 10x quick-shot rotary system. The magazine holds 10 shots in either caliber and it stacks all around effectively, simply turns the magazine and pop the pellets in. The use is really easy and reliable at the same time. It is popular for giving a quick follow-up shot. The gun is comparatively easy to a cock that can take only about 30 pounds of pressure.
Sight, Scope and Recoil reducing rail system
The Gamo Swarm Maxxim supplies 3-9×40 scope. Additionally, it has a one-piece scope mount that provides with springs and consequently opens the side rail for fitting. That is an exceptionally helpful component. The scope mount additionally has a strong solid stop pin that situates in the comparing gap in the RRR (Recoil Reducing Rail) over the pressure tube. This Recoil Reducing Rail (RRR) maximizes scope lifespan with 99.9% recoil compensation. This framework adequately opposes the scope creep. The recoil reducing system can prevent slipping and tighten the rings for mounting. Again the use of recoil pad is also effective. It uses to cover the buttstock. This is also called Shock Wave Absorber (SWA) recoil pad. It has no front or rear sights as well as any iron sights. So no additional screw is required here.

It is independently adjustable 1st and 2nd stage, allows you to experience an amazing shoot with a clean brake. The trigger is easy to use and can be operated reliably. This 2 stages smooth action trigger helps you to obtain the maximum accuracy.
From various tests, we get an average of 34 Lbs. cocking effort that is very much close to the company’s claim of 32 lbs. cocking effort. So we can say that easily it provides a quite good cocking effort.
How to use:
Loading the pellets and inserting the magazine
Gamo Silent Cat Air Rifle
At first, insert the pellets into the magazine with the tip facing down and then insert the very first pellet into the magazine. Then before inserting the second pellet, rotate the magazine pellet holder towards the bolt set apart on it. Until you insert 10 pellets in it you need to repeat these steps.

I have taken way more game with my airguns than I ever did with my .22lrs and shotguns. The stealth and accuracy of the high-end pcps put PBs to shame, IMHO of course 🙂

1250 fps + pellet is the reason of failure.
Most of the old salts here would tell you that any Gamo rated at 1250, is producing velocities far below that magical number, especially with lead pellets.
But yes, stealth and accuracy matters the most; you did rather well in those areas.

Ever shoot a gamo? Trigger is SO bad I couldn't hit a pigeon if it sat still for three or four try's. Plus the recoil can make a fellow flinchy
