DPMS SBR CO2 BB Air Rifle - 25-Round Mag - 430 FPS - Black

Ok! I've strayed away from auto bb guns because of poor overall performance in fps, accuracy and just overall uselessness. Well this gun has converted me. It's fun! Fairly accurate within 25 feet. Even on full auto. What I like most about this gun is it's overall construction. It's a solid build and rivals any real AR. Has all the same functions so when you can't get to the range you can get some training out back. At around 400 fps it's not a hunter but enough to destroy most usual targets. The flip up sights work just fine but can be a little hard to picture through Well. I put a cheap red dot/ laser combo and i don't even turn on the dot. The laser is so much more fun. Overall, very solid and real construction, surprising accuracy for what it is, CO2 goes about 6 to 7 mags per magazine 2-12oz cartridges (even on full auto), kickback feature helps with realism. Very fun gun for the price especially! Great for kids to learn the basics of an AR as well. Highly recommend! Im about to go out back.

So far this BB gun has met more than expectations. Very impressive with the balanced weight of gun and operation. It looks real feels real and shoots pretty accurate even in automatic. Be careful it really does look authentic to AR. It’s a lot of fun target practicing just don’t scare your neighbor’s !

I've had this rifle for abt 2 weeks. After reading tons of reviews and getting some serious trigger time myself, I've come up with the following observations/recommendations: Feels very real in your hands. Flip up sights are cheap junk and really don't look like they belong on such a great looking rifle. Crossman should really pony up and put some decent flip-up iron sights on this thing. How much could it cost at such volumes? Anyway, I took them off and replaced with cheap red/green dot scope before the first loading. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019MN7N5U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 After handling his rifle for a few hours now I believe it would be excellent for introduction training for a real AR. All controls work very close to a real AR (except fwd assist which rarely gets used anyway). Trigger is a bit stiff and appears to behave like a 2-stage trigger. At abt 90% of trigger force applied, there's a faint click, then a bit more squeeze and it fires. Not sure if this was an intentional feature but it's very consistent and I like it. At 30 ft, with fresh co2, I'm grouping 25 rnds within an inch in semi-auto (with a rest). Holds elevation pretty well for first 6 mags. Elevation drops 2-3 inches @ 30 ft. on last (7th) mag. When co2 gets low, rifle occasionally does some weird stuff like double firing or dry firing. When co2 gets really low, you have to use the charge lever between shots, but by then it's time to replaced co2 anyway. From what I've heard, to extend the life of the rifle, you shouldn't run full auto with fresh co2 cyls or near empty ones either. Shoot the first mag in semi-auto then switch to full-auto for a couple of mags, then back to semi-auto until co2 is gone. Also, not too much full auto until you have a few hounded rnds thru it. Seems like good advice since moving parts need to wear-in. First 1500 BBs were Hornady Black Diamond since I heard they load easier (and they are). Speed loader takes a little getting used to, but after you get the hang of it, it's great. I spray a little Rem oil in the loader, load it between 1/2 and 3/4 full then another quick spray of oil. Then shake it to distribute the oil around. Switched to Daisy zinc coated BB's since local store was out of Hornady's. They are a little more difficult to load but so far no issues with first 1000 rounds. Daisy grouped as well as the Hornady's. When speed loader plunger jams, don't force it. Just flip it upside down (while still connected to mag) and gently work the plunger until it un-jams, then flip it back upright and continue. At first it didn't seem to shoot more than abt 75-100 rnds before running out of co2 (semi-auto only). When removing right (secondary) cylinder, a LOT of co2 escaped. Inspected piercing pin and it looked OK. Next time removing co2 cylinders, I loosened the right cyl very very slowly. Noticed after abt 1/4 turn loosening, the right cyl got cold but wasn't leaking. I was then able to fire another 75 or so rnds. Next time I loaded 2 new cyls, I tightened the left cyl normally. On the right cyl, I tightened until it was abt as tight as I could get it with the supplied wrench, then backed it off exactly 1/4 turn. Now it works as it should. I've ran 6 cyls thru it this way and so far so good. There's something odd going on inside the mag that makes the right cylinder not flow if cyl is screwed on really tight but this appears to be a good work-around so far. Microscopic manual says to oil after ~1000 rnds. That's what I did. Maybe Crossman wants to parts to wear-in before oiling?? I applied pelgunoil to the co2 tips and everything else that moves including the seal. Feels significantly smoother now. I've heard pelgunoil is actually non-detergent ATF. When the pelgunoil tube runs out, I'll probably refill it with ATF and keep rolling. EDIT: After a hit more research, looks like silicone oil is supposed to be used on the green seal, in the cyl where green seal slides into and on the seal at output of the magazine. I'll be switching over to silicone oil for these parts. Still using pelgunoil for tips of co2 cyls. IMHO, this was a steal at $145. Even at $180 it's still a bargain. I've had a lot of fun with it and actually feel I'm improving my target acquisition time and muscle memory. Hats off to DPMS/Panther Arms/Crossman for releasing such a BB gun.

this is a very very accurate replication of an AR-15 i had alot of fun with it until it broke after like a week. the bolt started getting stuck back and the bolt release wouldnt make it go forward so i took the upper receiver apart and found out the firing pin was wobbly so i took it apart to find out it was broken. i cannot emphasize how fun this thing was while it lasted i really wish i could just buy a replacement firing pin because i loved this thing. i hear people say alot of different things break and thats because this thing is made of cheap materials. doesnt mean its not worth a shot, some things can be repaired at home there are plenty youtube videos about breaking each individual part of this thing down. as stupid as it sounds, i dont want a refund for the gun, i want another one lmao. UPDATE: Keep your gun lubricated with silicone lubrication especially the bolt area and the friction wont put strain on the screws holding the bolt in, ive had this second one for 6 month or so and havent had any problems. the mags are faulty though i had one break on me a few months back so i had to get another one. also you need a certain type of BBs, the copper ones that i used to use would get stuck in the middle of the barrel and id have to stick a rod down and hammer it to unjam it. the barrel also gets loose after a while since its only held down by like 2 screws and the muzzle brake thing at the end. be prepared to take this thing apart and learn its components i had to take it apart alot and tweak with stuff to get it working good. theres plenty of videos on youtube on pretty much everything its not that complicated its just a BB gun. also dont shoot on fully auto too much, thats what wears the internals out and breaks them faster, just get a pull or 2 every now and then.

This was awesome and worked for possums .

Being 56 yrs old, I wish I had it as a kid when I was shooting BB guns a lot! I bought this to get rid of rats in the shed. But they have vacated before I got the gun.. (They must have known) Anyway, I watched a ton of YouTube videos on this before I ordered it. Do your homework on this and anything else you order, it helps. Now to the product: The shipping was a day early :). The box was in another brown box, concealed. It was not damaged. :) The rifle comes as described, it very fun! Pretty accurate, and light. Now, for you who wonder of it's size, I placed it on and next to my real AR-15 and they are the same size! The charging handle doesn't go as far back as a real one, just noting it. The safety / fire select is the same as the AR-15 and works well with 3 positions S-F-A (Safe-Fire-Auto) The Mag release is the same as the AR-15 and works well. The flip-up sights are plastic, but work, has adjustable rear. The stock is unique, not changeable, and nothing like any real ones I have seen, but it is solid! The Hand grip is replaceable with any AR-15 ones out there. The angled fore-grip is not removable. You are stuck with that, and there is little room to add a "broomstick" handle. I like the one they have on there. It is comfy. The quad rail allows for lights, optics, laser, etc. So, go for it! Why not!? It's fun alright! I read and saw on videos that the gun is picky when it comes to ammo. And yes, The gun open up, and the upper and lower can be separated just like the AR-15 via the take-down pins! Fun! Great for training! Be careful when opening it, the bolt section can fall out. do this over a bench first to see how it works. You will need to do this to oil it anyway. The dust cover operates like the AR-15, and closes too. The Bolt remains open after the last BB fires. You won't waste a "C02" blast, and the Bolt catch/release latch on the left side operates just like the AR-15 as well. They put a lot of thought into the design to be like an actual AR-15 that You can use this as a training piece instead of a real one. Recommendations: Only use Crossman Copperhead BBs to avoid problems! ( I ran 6 mags through it without any problems.) Only use the 12-gram Crossman Co2 cartridges, others may be a bargain, but they can have dirty air which may foul up the air system. Buy PELLGUN OIL and apply before first use! - Most folks buy a BB-gun and forget this important step! Especially note this on an auto, YOU NEED the OIL! It will work for a bit without oil, then will begin to fail due to the lack of lubricant! Put a drop of oil on the top of each Co2 tank before inserting to magazine! (each time) LEFT SIDE cartridge goes in first! Tighten it a bit, then insert the right side. The valves work in this manner, or else you will lose a bunch of air from the right side if it is inserted first. So read the Manual. Well, that print is quite small, download the PDF and read it on your screen :) Also, follow the instructions for the oil placement on the bolt, hammer, etc. VERY IMPORTANT. It will last a lot longer if you use the oil as directed. Get it on Amazon. you can use any %100 silicone oil if you wish. A tip, DO NOT let the magazine fall to the ground when released! It is heavy! And is the heart of the Gun, if that breaks, no shooting! (Until you order another mag) Extra MAGS are available, but they are around $65.00 each! The power of the gun is surprising. Be very careful with it as it is NOT A TOY! Not for unsupervised children to "play" with! It shoots very very fast! The 25 rounds which the mag holds will go in 2.2 seconds at a rate of 1400 rounds a minute. Not the same as the real thing, it is much faster than the real ones. So,shoot in single-shot mode. Yeah,that'll save BBS re-loads... But.. IT"S AN AUTO! Full-Auto is more fun! As with all BB-guns, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES! Do not skip this! You'll shoot your eye out! BBs don't always penetrate, in fact, most don't, and just ricochet back at the shooter! SAFETY glasses are a must! Please get some! and use them when using this and any other BB-pellet gun! You want to keep your eyes, to be able to shoot more, right ?

Pros: This gun is so much fun to shoot! Full auto mode leads to spontaneous giggling from the shooter and spectators alike. Weight and balance are very much like the real thing. Charging handle, safety/fire selector, are very realistic, although the forward assist is non-functional. Did I say how much fun it is to shoot this thing? Surprisingly accurate. The attached photo is from my 1st 100 shots. The tight clusters are from 3 25-round full auto bursts. The others are from semi-auto file as I tried to use the flip-up sights. All were at 30 ft. Cons: The flip-up sights aren't much use, at least for my eyes. In most lighting conditions, I found that the smooth inside surface of the cylindrical rear sight aperture was too reflective, causing enough glare to block out the front post sight entirely. It is far too loud to be back yard friendly, if neighbors are close. The loading tool is temperamental at best, jamming frequently. It is made of light plastic that feels like it will break at any moment. When it's functioning properly, it is a major improvement over hand-loading, but of 10 loading attempts, I only had 1 load the full 25 BBs without failure. Final take: If you are interested in this gun at all, BUY IT NOW. Once you fire it, you will honestly wonder why you waited at all. Ignore the loading tool. Buy your BBs in the dispenser with the little tapered spout. Just hold the bb follower back with your thumb (manual says "lock it back", but that's a misprint), tip the mag so the top end is a bit downward, and pour the BBs into the feeding hole till the slot is full. Release the follower. Don't worry if you spill some, cuz you'll be spilling a lot more real soon. Order extra magazines! The 25 rds go so fast, you'll be glad you spent the $50 a piece, just so you can keep shooting. Mount a Red Dot reflex optic or Laser for better point and shoot target acquisition.

This is an awesome gun for backyard plinking, and it looks and feels like the real thing. Construction and fit-and-finish are excellent. It's light, but the build quality is great and it feels sturdy with no rattles or loose parts. The molding on the plastic exterior is crisp and straight. The included sights are so-so but the Picatinny rails are the correct dimensions so you can easily change out the sights and angled foregrip or add anything else - red dot, flashlight, laser, whatever you want. The blowback and functional bolt and bolt catch are a really nice touch. It works just like the real thing, and it takes down just like a real AR. The standout with this thing is the accuracy. I was expecting a bit of spray-and-pray with a full auto BB gun, but it's seriously accurate both in semi and full auto. My son and I were landing all our shots at cans and in the "kill zones" on paper zombie targets out to around 20 yards on our first time with it. Loading the magazines is a little finicky at first but once you get the hang of it it's a breeze. Engage the magazine follower with the "tooth" on the bottom of the autoloader, and slide the follower down the mag until the spigot on the autoloader engages the circular depression in the mag. Once the autoloader is flat against the side of the mag, hold it steady with your thumb on the textured flange, give the plunger a few squeezes, and the magazine fills up in no time. It is possible to manually load the magazines, but save your thumbnails and use the autoloader. Not too many cons. I wish there were higher-capacity magazines available for it since you can rip through them in no time on full auto. But 25 rounds is realistic for an AR so I can't complain too much. This is definitely the best bang for the buck in military style air guns.
