Gamo is an airgun manufacturer. The company is based in Spain and is the largest producer of guns and rifles in Europe, and the largest producer of pellets in the world. The company was founded in 1959, as El Gamo, and airgun production first started in 1961. Today Gamo production includes rifles, pistols, ammunition and optics. They produce primarily high powered, high end air guns.
When Manganese Bronze Holdings liquidated what remained of the gun division of The Birmingham Small Arms Company in 1986 assets including the logo and the right to use the initials, BSA, were purchased by Gamo who have continued the air rifle business at Armoury Road, Small Heath, Birmingham B11 2PP under the name BSA Guns (UK) Limited.
During the 1970s in the UK El Gamo marketed two air rifles, the Marksman, a conventional .22 rifle with a fitted and already zeroed telescopic sight, and the Paratooper repeater, a .177 pistol-gripped repeating rifle incorporating a tubular magazine along the top of the cylinder, and using a rising/falling breech mechanism for positioning the pellet.
