Ever shot this Gamo? How fast and is it considerably quieter?

I shot one. I don't own one, but I shot someone else's. If my memory serves correctly, it sounded about like a Red Rider BB gun.
Edit: Oh, and I don't know what the FPS is on it.. but my buddy has killed coons and squirrels with it.

The whisper is not super quiet, and it is by no means a whisper. It is however a good pellet gun that I have used to drop squirrels at 40m.
The penetration you get will vary alot based on the pellet. The lighter PBA pellets seem to be more accurate at longer ranges, but this is really just a guess based on shots taken/ hits. However, the lighter pellets don't penetrate nearly as well as lead. The best penetration I have seen thus far has come from the pellets with a bb tip. They will punch through thin steel plate where the lead only leaves a dent. I have never put a chrono to the gamo, but I suspect that it falls short of the advertised 1250 fps with pba pellets.
