How loud is it? Seems like a 22 with primer only would be quieter.

It is a little quieter than a basketball thrown at pavement (closet analogy I could come up with). I have not experienced a sound barrier crack yet, but I think that's because of the quality of the ammo the guy provided me. I'm sure regular lead rounds will sound about like a 22lr going off in that regard.

Some or the Gamo models claim 1300 - 1400 ft/sec (definitely supersonic). Those models come with a suppressor to dampen the "sonic boom."

They also come with recoil pads and a cheesy scope that might be of some value. We don't use the scope.

I bought one a few years ago for the squirrels that like to sneak into our company warehouse. Never used it for that purpose -- duh womens at the office were almost in tears.

But the younguns in the family love it. Trigger pull is much < that of a Daisy BB gun.

Mine is super accurate with pellets -- not at all accurate with BB's (which I blame on the Chines manufactured BB's).
