Looks like the game changers have arrived.
Just saw this on Pyramid Air -

never before achieved by airgun manufacturers - a breakbarrel with a 10 shot rotary magazine that slaps a round into the chamber every time you cock the barrel.

This is an interesting idea and innovation. A question for those who are familiar with the physics and design of break barrel air guns. Instead of break barrel design, is it possible to make it pump action type. Such a design in the multi shot gun as displayed in the above videos, would make firing the next shot quicker and smoother. Isn't it?

hmm, that might need more research. The entire rotary clip is part of the barrel - maybe it can be retro fit into other versions - Just thinking :-). Too early to comment though.

I had heard about them being displayed in the shot show 2017, but didn't expect them to arrive this quick!! So glad that gamo has changed from velocity craziness to really cool innovations. :) As usual, have to be content by just reading and seeing videos about it in the net. :(
GBM sir, are you referring to design like that of a pump action shotgun? I don't think that would be possible because cocking the hard mainspring without the leverage of a barrel or side/ under lever is beyond the ability of most of us.
