Oakland Township, MI — Athlon Outdoors is turning up the volume on its legendary Free Gun Friday promotion by giving one lucky reader the chance to take home the Umarex StormFire .177-caliber Full-Auto CO2 BB Air Rifle, a rifle built around one simple philosophy: make shooting ridiculously fun.
For years, Free Gun Friday has become one of the industry's most anticipated monthly giveaways, putting thousands of dollars' worth of firearms and gear into the hands of lucky winners while introducing enthusiasts to some of the most exciting products on the market. Every month delivers something new, but this month's prize is something special.
The Umarex StormFire isn't trying to be a benchrest rifle. It isn't pretending to be a precision competition gun. It exists for one reason, to put a grin on your face every time you pull the trigger.
Powered by two common 12-gram CO2 cartridges, the StormFire feeds from a massive 400-round BB reservoir with a 25-round internal magazine and gives shooters the choice between semi-automatic and full-automatic fire. Flip the selector to full auto and the StormFire unleashes an astonishing 2,020 rounds per minute, launching .177 BBs at up to 430 FPS.
In an era where too many products promise excitement but deliver little more than another trip to the range, the StormFire reminds shooters why they fell in love with shooting in the first place. It's approachable enough for newcomers, entertaining enough for seasoned shooters, and nearly impossible to put down once the BBs start flying.
"Free Gun Friday has always been about connecting our audience with products that get people excited to shoot," said Charles Anderson, CEO of Bleecker Street Publications. "The StormFire captures exactly what this industry should never lose sight of, the simple joy of sending rounds downrange. It's fast, it's accessible, and it's an absolute blast."
The best part?
One lucky winner won't have to imagine what 2,020 rounds per minute feels like, they'll get to experience it firsthand.
Entries for this month's Free Gun Friday are now open. Participants can enter for their chance to win the Umarex StormFire by visiting Athlon Outdoors before the giveaway closes.
