Comments:
The Gamo V3 (chrome
slide) is an attractive airgun styled after the Colt Combat
Commander. It has a rifled barrel and is designed to shoot lead
BBs from a 15-shot removable magazine. The action is DA only and
the trigger pull is very heavy due to the fact that the trigger
not only cocks the striker but it also pulls the slide and
barrel back to produce a mock "blow-back" action. The
trigger is mushy with no distinct breaking point. An interesting property of this pistol
is that it actually produces tighter groups when fired rapidly
rather than slowly - a true "action" pistol. However,
Gamo's claims of 0.35" groups at 30 feet are pure fantasy.
Pyramyd Air Report on Gamo V3 - Part I
Performance:
Measurements were made on
10/29/06 at a temperature of 69 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired
from a bench rest at 15' using Gamo Round lead BBs (8.0 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 382 fps, the lowest was 365
fps (average of the 10-shot string was 374 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights (rapid fire) grouped at 0.65". This
was the best grouping from the six that were shot. The others
measured between 1" and 1.5". Click the thumbnail below to see a

Right Profile: The top slide (metal) moves back-and-forth, along with the barrel, when the trigger is pulled. This is part of the trigger action and makes the trigger pull very heavy and the break unpredictable. |
