Each shot releases a small amount of gas, so there is no cocking or pumping effort between shots. CO2 pressure falls as temperature drops, so velocity and shot count are usually highest in mild weather; let the gun and cartridges warm to room temperature before a session.About the CaliberThe .177 caliber (4.5 mm) is the most common airgun caliber. Its light, fast projectiles shoot flat, which makes it a favorite for target shooting, plinking and small pests at modest ranges.Specifications ExplainedGamo rates velocity at 450 feet per second (fps) with PBA Platinum.

Learn how it works from the owner's manual before loading.Getting Started and CareBefore the first session, read the owner's manual, check that the gun is unloaded, and set up a safe backstop or pellet trap. Shoot from a rest to confirm where the gun hits at your usual distance, then adjust the sights or scope.Try several brands and weights of quality .177 pellets of the type the manufacturer lists. Airguns often prefer one pellet over another, and finding it is the quickest way to tighter groups.Insert a fresh cartridge only when the gun is uncocked and the safety is on, follow the manufacturer's piercing and removal steps, and never leave a pierced cartridge in the gun for long periods. A drop of CO2-specific lubricant on the tip of each new cartridge helps keep the seals in good condition.What You Will Want With ItEye protection for the shooter and anyone nearbyA pellet or BB trap rated for the gun's power, or a safe backstopPaper targets or reactive targetsSpare CO2 of the size the manufacturer listsSafety and Local LawsTreat every airgun as if it were loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
