I'm just being silly.
That is a sound byte from Star Wars II.
The scene where Obi-Wan follows Jango Fett into the asteroid field
and Jango releases a couple of "land mine" surprises.
The silent cat has a massive vibration after it is fired.
I'm sure it is not any worse that other gamo products, but
crazy none the less.
After almost 500 rounds, I have gotten used to it, and can hit a fairly tight
group at 20 yards.
It is totally dependent on the way the gun is held. |

Since my ventures into foley sound, I remember that they used the actual twang from a Gamo for that scene.  |

You are on the same track as me.
The trigger will make a nice difference in your like for the rifle.
Those PBA pellets are very light which is the reason they don't group well.
I too like the premier HP's. The Destroyer pellets perform well also. |

Can you envision how I run through my back yard, jumping behind bushes,
rolling to hide behind trees? All while imagining my defeat of Darth Vader
and bringing peace to the universe.
Thank you Gamo! |

Gamo, sponsoring sci-fi sound effects into your back yard since ages. |
