Having used both I can say in my own opinion you could do much better with a purchase. The Viper Express is a small step up from a novelty gun, not good for much more than dispatching snakes or rats from about 5' away...not even great at that. Some folks absolutely love the Swarm, I absolutely hated it. Very bad build quality, violent shot cycle and comes with the worst scope I've ever seen on an Airgun. If you must absolutely purchase a Gamo, stay away from the magnums.

I'm thinking about an Express with pellet adapter. Practice instinctive firing with it. Something different than my Daisy.

Honestly the multi shot/ clip things to me are just something to go bad or something.

I use a gamo whisper fusion mach 1 .22 and it's been pretty good and solid shooter.

Now with gamo you got to know once warranty is gone your not going to fix it up yourself easily do to gamos no self fixing policy . I think they even sue or prevent places like vortex or are or anything in the USA to make any part for there guns like a simple piston seal .. ( find the 33mm seal in the USA ).

Mines well past warranty but if it was to spit her bits she's pretty much done and junk pile ..lol. It's ashame too cause it's as good as shot as any hw here ..

One more thing I learned with gamo is the better warranty guns are the better guns .

Last I recall gamo was 1 year ( mhaa) , 3 year ( better I guess) then 5 year.

On the 5 year guns gamo foots the total warranty bill shipping to them and back in it's first year . I had to send a gun in and they took care of it pretty hassle free and quick turnaround.. so there fair on that part ..

Also guys that had the gamo autoloader fail gamo surprisingly sent parts or new loader to fix them ..

Go figure that can do that but not offer a piston seal ? Lol gamo ..lol

I guess (as always) I'd ask what the intended uses are? A break barrel, smooth bore, weak air shotgun taking proprietary ammo is intriguing and different but probably useless past 20Yards? Cool? Kinda, but useful....that is the question in my mind! I'd still go with a Air Venturi/Seneca if going this route all day long, better selection of Ammo choices, more power, probably better made, more aftermarket support, etc. More money? Yes. Worth it? Yes!!
