Crosman R71 Reviews

For my first airsoft gun I didn't know what to expect. Although the overall performance and build up of this gun was alright. Although plastic takes up a good percentage of this gun it was still light enough for me to hold for a period of time. I also liked the removable butt stock feature although it doesn't exactly change the weight of the gun instead give it more of a MP5K look.

I would mainly change how the gun feeds the BB's. Instead of it going through the scope I would have instead just gone for the BB's in the magazine feature. The BB's in the scope feature is also a nuisance since you have to constantly shake the gun just to get a few BB's into the chamber. Also the material for the suppressor since whenever I fired it always fell off after at least a few shots. Lastly the semi auto I would have improved since it rarely ever works; it always misfires.

I would recommend buying this gun only for kids who are just getting into airsoft. It's price is reasonable and it will give them the necessary practice towards operating an airsoft gun.

Awesome rate of fire, durable I dropped it like ten times, still works like new, long battery life

Change it to were the hopper is not in the scope

BB's go in the scope

awesome value for money and works really well

nothing

it is great. i like how many ways you can customize it and how fast it shoots and overall its pretty good for its price. it is charged for a log time. like 2 days

it doesnt shoot as far as i wouldve hoped and a better scope would be nice. i also would like it if it didnt have to have the scope to keep ammo in and if it didnt have the scope if it held more ammo would b nice/

its works great and i beat the crap out of mi friends

It doesn't get clogged much. It looks really cool.

Have a scope on it.

Good accuracy for the power, great feed, I like that you can remove the stock and silencer. Good for fighting a long, dragging war with lots of people, or a two man firefight. Also, I really liked the gun because, if it jams switch between semi or full auto and fire a couple of times, and presto! it's fixed!

I would make the magazine just a little more reliable. Other than that, nothing.

Good gun. If you like an easy to load gun that you just plunk yourself down to lay cover fire for a buddy or wait to spray a close range target with death. Don't use for sniping unless you are willing to sacrifice your position for a good spray at an unsuspecting enemy. As for those who say that this gun is good for beginners only, the gun is only as good as the man who carries it and if he is good the guns is too. So long and good hunting.

It can go for about 2 days without being charged.Then it have the smi and full thing so you can pin people down.

Make it for metal and the stock stronger.

Better have alot of bbs and a speed loader or your toast or not if your playing teams or if you have a side arm.

i really liked the rate of fire

the hopper , the stock , the compensater.

good starting out gun

The gun looks really cool, and the sound is satisfying. I like how it comes with a removable stock and suppressor. It also has a good rate of fire and hurts plenty.

I would enjoy a higher FPS, and a mag that is actually a mag, and not a battery.

The scope is a hopper, and it gets in the way of your aiming.

The Crosman R71 Pulse Airsoft Rifle Is The Best Airsoft Gun I've Ever Had. It Is Worth 50 Bucks Trust Me. The Thing's I LIke About It Is It Hold's 600 Round's, It Looks Real, And Some Of It Is Metal. The Scope On The Top Is Not A Scope That Is Were You Hold All The bb's The Thing That Look's Like The Clip Is Actually The Battery. I've Played About 15 Games And Won 14 Games. It Is Very Reliable. I THINK With The Rite Person They Could Esasily Control The Battlefield.

The Bad Thing Is It Only Goes 200fps. And It's Not Very Loud

Looks cool, holds alot of bb's

battery last longer

you are better off charging it the day before you are going to use it, because it doesn't hold it's charge very long just sitting

it fells cool and looks real

its made of plastic once i was clearing a building with a sniper in it and the sniper shot my gun and the bullet actually went through my gun

there is no mag capacity you load it through the scope on top

i loved the look and feel of the gun as well as its range and acurracy. and the interchangeable parts and rail system.

NO HOP UP SYSTEM!!! it makes it impossible to aim.

it made of cheap plastic so don't drop it on a hard floor.

This is my first airsoft gun and I am very statisfied. The gun is pretty accurate and has a steady rate of fire, not to fast yet not to slow, just enough so you can mow down your opponents and make adjustments. The scope is the hopper and the mag is the battery. So you can't really aim. So get light colored BB's so you can easily make adjustments when you fire. The battery is easy to take out and put back in so if its damaged all you need to do is take it out and ask crossman for another. The silencer does not silence the gun but improves accuracy and doesn't take a huge toll on range so I would use it. Its all plastic so make sure you don't drop it. However I got mine in clear plastic so I can easily see if there is a BB still inside the gun or if there is a broken part.

The hopper should not be the scope, the battery should be in the grip (because they just put wieghts in the grip) and the mag should actually hold ammo. Other then that the gun is great.

Its a great sidearm for snipers, lightwieght and you can take off the stock and silencer.

A great backyard and CQB-able AEG and first gun. Good BBs (like the TSD Competition Grade ones) fly amazingly straight. While more powerful guns get the BBs out there faster, this one is really accurate and consistent, and they still float out quite far. It's no slouch by any means.

The BB's don't feed smoothly, so you have to shake and jiggle the gun a lot more than I would think you should. I may remodel the hopper to be both larger and have a better slope to feed the BBs downward.

Holds a lot of BBs, so not having a mag is not really an issue. The top rail is not needed because the hopper has to mount there so nothing else can be ... therefore a scope is out unless you modify that somehow (this may or may not matter to you, but it should be noted). There are side and lower front rails for other attachments.

The removable parts. It also has a great battery life. Looks cool.

The silencer on mine is a little wobbly, but other than that it's fine. It would be great if it was a higher fps.

It's a great starting gun. You can't really aim with it but you don't really need to since it's a machine gun and only 200fps. It's light, durable and it rarely ever jams. And it has a decent price. I recommend it.

being to take off the stock and silincer

make the MAGIZINE hold the bb's and give a top battery compartmrnt for a stick battery

good for noobs who like CQB

The Battery lasts a lot longer than I thought, it shoots far, it can hold a lot of ammo, and you can take off the stock and muzzle.

The BB's don't feed as well as I thought they would.

I ike the rate of fire good for battles not as heavy as my shotgun which is nice because i dont like caring a ton of weight in battles when im trying to dodge shots

i dont like the scope loading mechanism because there is no sights so accuracy is not as good as my shotgun or my pistol but if you add a laser it has better accuracy

.12gram bbs's and .20 gram bb's dont work as good as .16gram ones because .20 is too heavy and reduces length and .12 is too light so bb goes up but .16 has good length and accuracy

geat battery life! I've never had a jam. better fps than the crossman M4's(150fps). The true lelect fire! most guns l this low in fps are only fire and safe. this actually has a semi-auto mode.

I like my guns to have a lil weight, but its no biggie

If you shoot .12g's as most peaple would with a gun like this, you will find that the hop up makes the bbs curve up so that at farther distances(10-15yds) you're pointing down a little to hit your target. Since this gun has a good 50fps on most other crossman guns of its kind, me and my friend who also has one thought we would try .20g's just to see how it would do. To be honest I wan't at all disapointed. The accuracy greatly increased, but the range was shorted by quite a bit. I recently bought some .16g's for a UTG warhawk spetsnaz I own, and we tried those as well. Those were perfect!! great range, and accuracy for a CQB SMG.
