Best Answer

PBA Performance Ballistic Alloy. Gamo came out with these pellets. They are fast, BUT not accurate. They are coated and lightweight that is why they are fast. However because they are lightweight a mild crosswind will cause them to go off target. You will never find them in competition shooting. In fact a heavy pellet will fly slower and straighter than any lightweight pellet.

What is Gamo's fastest air rifle?

Both the Gamo "Extreme" and "Hunter" line of Air rifles claim a manufacture FPS (Feet Per second) of 1250 FPS with Lead and 1650 FPS with .177 PBA pellets. Now here is the truth you should know. Don't confuse speed with accuracy or power. Most any air rifle that fires a pellet at 1200 FPS or better can obtain a speed of over 1600 FPS, simply by firing a light weight pellet and that is what Gamo PBA pellets are, very light weight. Light weight pellets are subject to cross wind and easily drift off target. Here is an Example, a .177 Gamo PBA Pellet weighs 5.4 grams while a H&N .177 pellet weighs 10.65 grams. The H&N pellet will not fly near as fast as a Gamo PBA pellet, But it will fly straighter and have considerable more knock down power than the GAMO pellet. A $2750 Olympic Feinwerkbau air rifle fires a match grade pellet at 500 FPS. This may seem to be slow, but it's dead accurate, and Olympic shooters understand accuracy. Also remember air guns/rifles are also made in the following calibers with each one slower than the previous, But look at the size. The last one fires a pellet as large as your thumb and is capable of bringing down a Boar or Deer. The sizes are: .177, .20, .22, .25, .357 Cal, 9MM, 45 Cal, and 50 Caliber. So don't confuse "Speed" with "Accuracy or Knock Down" power.
