#Crossman

Crosman is probably most well known for its fun backyard plinking air rifles and BB guns but now they have released the first airgun specifically designed for newer PCP hunters. The new Crosman Icon PCP bolt-action air rifle is capable of delivering velocities of up to 1,000 fps and will come in .22 and .177 caliber offerings. This new platform is intended to be both simple and affordable so that those curious or new to PCP air rifle shooting can start exploring the benefits of PCP air gun hunting.

Crossman has just announced that in a salute to the flag and our nation’s heroes they will be launching their new Full Auto R1 Fallen Patriots rifle along with 6,000 rounds of BBs for free with each order. The promotion is both a great deal for customers and will also benefit the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation by donating 7.5% of the proceeds to the cause.

We’ve been getting a lot of snow up here in the north and it’s times like this that make it just a little bit more difficult to get out to the range to spend a few rounds. Thankfully, BB guns are a safe and cheap way to get some trigger time in even when you can’t venture out to your favorite shooting spot. Crossman has just released a new full-auto capable CO2 air pistol – the P1. The P1 is capable of semi-automatic or full-auto fire of up to 850 rounds per minute at 400 feet per second.

Crossman airguns have released the Armada PCP air rifle with a special edition Multicam edition currently being auctioned on GunBroker ending November 2nd benefiting the Navy Seal foundation. Other sponsors of the air rifle include Zeiss, Surefire, Tarjac, and MagPul.

Crossman have licensed a gas piston technology and will be incorporating it into a range of air rifles. The word “gas piston” probably has you thinking of gas operated autoloader rifles. In the context of air guns, “gas piston” refers to the piston system of break barrel air guns. Instead of compressing a spring when cocked, they compress gas. When the trigger is pulled the piston is released, the piston is pushed forward by the expanding gas. The piston in turn compresses air which pushes the pellet out of the rifle.
