A repeating air rifle with velocity to spare, the Gamo Swarm Magnum brings air power to the hunt.

How The Gamo Swarm Magnum Blows The Competition Away:
10-shot rotary magazine that feeds a new pellet into the chamber every time the rifle is cocked.
Pushes .22 pellets at the top edge of break barrel velocities — 1300 fps.
Two-stage adjustable trigger, known as the CAT System (Custom Action Trigger.
Double-integrated sound moderator built into the barrel.
RRR System (Recoil Reducing Rail), a two-piece aluminum rail separated by dual polymer struts, absorbs recoil.
Dotzie, my little mountain cur squirrel dog, was very insistent. “Get over here — and get over here right now,” she said loud and clear while barking up a red oak tree 200 yards from me. Arriving on the scene I found the brindle-and-white-colored canine dancing around the tree and telling the world she had a squirrel up there, dead to rights. Now it was time for me to do my part.

After a considerable search, the grey squirrel was located high in the oak tree plastered to limb. Instead of the usual .22 caliber firearm, I eased the Gamo pellet rifle against a convenient tree for a rest and started the trigger squeeze with the squirrel in the scope. The shot was close but no cigar … and the squirrel was off to the races through the treetops.

Grabbing the barrel of the rifle, I quickly cranked it downward, cocking the rifle while the loading mechanism automatically inserted another .22 pellet into the chamber. Following the squirrel in the scope as best I could, I waited for him to pause briefly as he would leap from limb to limb. This process entailed moving from tree to tree with the squirrel, and Dotzie following the squirrel with me, all the while barking furiously. The tree rat finally paused a half second too long, I delivered the shot, and Dotzie was more than happy to grab it when it hit the ground. Without the quick reloading feature on the Gamo, I would not have collected the squirrel.
 
I really enjoy watching American Airgunner on Sportsman channel / WILD Network and seen some Hog hunting w/ 50 Cal slug/ball Airgun from a helicopter from the USA was awesome. Can't believe how far Airguns have come. Incredible.
 
That's a pretty interesting rifle.

Right up till you fire it a couple times on an empty mag(by accident) and destroy the piston/seal.
Dry firing a high power gas strut/spring powered air gun, is a big no-no because the piston will slam into the end of the compression chamber if there is no resistance created by a pellet traveling down the barrel.
This is one of the reasons there aren't many mag fed spring/gas strut out there.
Lots of Pneumatic or Co2 guns have mags, but they don't destroy themselves if they are dry fired.

If they come up here they will need to remove the built in suppressor for Canadian sales?Like the Marauder.
 
I am just getting a black box KDX, damn, guess I have to up date something?
but back to air rifle and suppressors, I have bulletins from RCMP on how bad these are, ie illegal Gamo ; guess the gangbangers are going to get into air rifles,LOL.
God you just have to wonder sometimes if their is anyone with a frigging brain in Ottawa.

Not Gamo’s first crack at this idea. This one was my BIL’s, missing the spring loaded trough that fed the pellets
