Good Points

Cheap, well costructed even though it's plastic.

Bad Points

I found this pistol was not very accurate.

General Comments

Nice little pistol for the price £40, I find this pistol nice to hold and light,it shoots a fair distance about 3 to 400 yards but it dosen't seem to be very accurate. I find it difficult to use the sights to improve my shooting its like they move, yes it could be me but I also use a crosman 338 and with this I can shoot a baked bean off the top of a pencil at about 15 feet without hitting the pencil. OK that might not be impressive but I'm 43 and my sight isn't as good as it used to be, I couldn't do that with the p800, but the 800 is still a really good pistol for its money. Its certainly better than the smk g10 and 2005 or any simular smk pistol of the same price range, I would say to you if you want a pistol to mess around with this is the one. I don't regret buying it not by a long shot but I am having trouble mastering it, which could be down to me.

   I quite agree with this review. I have a GAMO p800 and I find it "pellet fussy". Sometimes it hits the target, sometimes I don't know where the pellet travels. The best I can do so far is hitting a coke tin at, let's say, 15-20 yards. (not that bad, after all...). It's possible to set up the rear sight of the gun... but I 've lost the user's manual, where this was explained! Bad luck !

   Its not a patch on the smk s2 .177, this guns. The power and accuracy isnt even in the same league as the s2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Can anybody please tell me the power in joules of the gamo p800?

4. Ivan helovanitch on 4th Jun 2004

   Yes the smk is probably a better pistol but the quality is poorer and I noticed that the smk has a fibre seal at the breach of the barrel which will wear quicker than the rubber one on the gamo, also the stock which is made from a real low grade wood just like the air rifles that come from china that retail for as little as 26 pounds.

   I agree with Danco, the S2 has more power but doesn’t look as good. Buy an s3 for a good compromise, great plinker and is good for close range pest control. Plus it has no recoil. All for £30-£50.

6. danco1987 on 23rd Aug 2004

   Yeah but could the s3 penetrate a rabbit at 10m?

   yo ray89 I do.
   einstein said : E = m*c^2
   we change c(lightspeed) into v(speed)
   we say : E = m*v^2
   m = mass of the pellet, normal at 0.0005kg
   v = speed of pellet, my P800 box say 100m/s
   =>E = 0.0005 * 100^2 = 5 Joule.
   ! Action = Reakton !
   Half the Energy pushes the pellet forward,
   half the energy pushes the gun backwards.
   So the energy of the P800 Pellet is : 5 Joule/2
   = 2.5 Joule. !!! Always use [SI] units !!!
   (if you pellet travels at lightspeed it´s power is 299792458^2 m/s * 0.0005 Kg * 0.5= 22468879468421 Joules)

   I've used an s3 now and at 10m I feel it won't have enough power to penetrate, and at low powers its knockdown power isnt up to much either. I modded my 1377 to do 610fps now and its quality for rabbits at 20yards max.
