Gamo's "Whisper line" of guns isn't your grandfathers break barrel
No doubt! I still get that funny look when I try convincing a powder-burner shooter to try one. Same thing I say, "This ain't your grand-dad's bb-gun."
Nearly all the skills are the same between the two. Perhaps it's just not "cool" or they just don't believe it. Oh well, their loss for sure!

All guns are different but Give these a try,by far the most accurate in my Whisper Fusion Pro 22

Thanks RTR! I only shoot lead. One, I like heavier ammo (quieter and typically more accurate). And I recycle what my target boxes capture.
Here's what I typically use in .22...

Besides, I only have 25-yards for my #backyardplinking joy. And about any air-rifle/pellet can shoot sub-1" at that distance. I gotta upgrade my range someday.

I am new to airguns and recently bought the new swarm fusion. I like it , BUT, it is louder than I thought it would be and I'm not too sure about that swarm system. It mangles a pellet every now and then and causes a dryfire, plus it's picky to load.(I want to shoot in the back yard and I'm technically not allowed to).
Lately I have been succumbing to all the glorious things I keep reading about the Weirauch guns and the hw50s is calling to me-- The one AOA sells with the suppressor and I'm believing it would be quieter and maybe? more accurate.
I haven't seen a whole lot about Gamo guns so it's nice to see a thread praising them. It gives me more to think maybe I should just keep mine and be happy and save money But then again, want vs need......

This is the quietest break-barrel I've ever used (of at least 20). By quite a bit.
Stoeger S4000-E in .177

I thought I replied to this two hours ago but I don't see it now. ???
Anyway. I've tried the jsb and the h&n pellets in the 10 gr range. It likes the jsb better. The best shooting pellet so far is the h&n FTT at 8+ gr. I couldn't tell any difference in sound, but I need to have someone else shoot and I'll stand to the side and listen.
The Stoeger--That's interesting. The price is certainly good. Was it an accurate gun. I will want to shoot the occasional squirrel at my bird feeders and I want to make head shots for a quick kill. I sure don't want one running off and dying in the neighbors yard.

I use a "dB" sound level app on my phone. Not studio quality of course, phone mic, but can give decent relative comparisons.
The Stoeger is a solid 10dB below my quietest PCP. And way quieter than any break-barrel I've used.

Any modern break-barrel air-gun I've (a couple dozen) used is "accurate" to sub-1" target at 25-yards.
I'd say go more what you like than worry about that. Unless you're competing, won't make a difference IMO.
