I found 630-640 fps with “normal” 8 - 9 Grain pellets. ![]() Muzzle velocity is less than I expected but still OK. I’m sure that Umarex has done much more testing than me and are very sure of that!

Unfortunately it suffered from seemingly unstoppable gas leaks and an automatic safety that did not work consistently.

The photograph shows the Fusion (with scope) alongside an original XS60C and a QB78. So, CO2 air rifles powered by two Powerlets have a long history and there are strong design similarities across all of these guns. And of course, the QB78 is a modern clone of the original Crosman 160 of 1955, or thereabouts. ![]() Well, it’s been a long time coming, but the Umarex Fusion CO2 air rifle is finally here!
