This is lots of fun to shoot, I have added a tactical rifle scope, laser dot site and bypod for stability the attachment rails are the best, the feel and weight are perfect.

Nothing

This is not a tack driver and the BB loader is not very good.
Functions as designed and lots of fun to shoot. Neighbor hood sound acceptable.
Get spare magazine and make this airgun your own two thumbs up.

Detail, good accuracy and a lot of fun on auto.

Better sights.

I put some metal adjustable sights on mine. No problems after 8 mags semi and auto.

This gun is so realistic and is very accurate at about 20 yards. I highly recommend it to any gun enthusiast!

I wish the magazine held more than 20 BB's. On full auto, you go through them real quick. Directions on using the reloader would be nice also.

Awesome gun! Feels real and shoots great!

Functions well.

Loading is a pain, even with the provided loader. The loading spring NEEDS a detent. Flip up sights are junk. Trigger pull is way too heavy.

It is so accurate and it feels like my AR-15 same weight.The operation is just like my AR.The fun part is firing it on Auto.I love it a fun rifle.

Need to come out with a larger magazine to hold more BB s.

I havent had a chance to use it much yet. What little I have been able to use it, it has functioned flawlessly. Very pleased

The loading system really needs some re-engineering.

Extra magazines would make this gun much more fun

Looks real.

The thing should work when coming from the factory. How about test firing it? One shot and the thing will not work. Now I have to take it apart and change a seal to make it work.

Stay away from this.

I was looking to buy an Umarex Steelforce earlier this year until I saw this in SHOT Show videos and decided to wait. After months of waiting, the wait has been worth it. This is super fun to shoot!! The weight, look and feel is amazing. I like that the bbs are housed in the magazine with the CO2 tanks. This gun has provided many hours of full auto fun!

Change the angled stock for a vertical stock.

Have seen a lot of negative reviews about the speed loader. Initially I struggled and it seemed like it kept getting jammed but then found a good rhythm that worked. If it feels jammed turn the speed loader upside down and keep clicking it and you will feel it unjam. Turn it back to the correct position and click to have the bbs burst into the mag. Repeat as needed. You can do this while keeping the speed loader in place with the mag. After a few attempts you can get into a good rhythm and have your mag fully loaded in seconds. I used Daisy bbs

Got hear very impressed with this SBR replica with full auto! It took long to get hear but Rhonda at customer support helped me & dad out. Also I took some time too play with my air gun a bit i shot semi auto through two mags & full auto for another two mags which was fun!

weight, look , feel, everything... Accuracy.. I get 1/4" groupings at 30 ft!!! Maybe i am lucky... No problems or issues so far! Shoots awesome right out of Box!

Little more power... 495 fps, Hey i'm from Canada..

With my Rio rand scope and laser combo i am getting insane grouping using daisy premium bb's... But that is at a fully rested bench position. Others have said this will not get match accuracy.... I tend to disagree. My gun gets close to pellet accuracy, at of course 30 ft. Maybe if i try 40 it will be slightly off. This Gun Does need a "Dot" or scope sight to fully take advantage of its capabilities... Also everyone is so "gung-ho" with full-autos... Take your time and break it in on semi-auto... I actually like shooting this gun semi auto, as i was looking for a co2 semi rifle anyway. Again, I was very surprised at the accuracy of this "Panther Arms" air gun... Distributed under Crosman. Something else to note, sounds like a joint venture to me. Google it!

I pre-ordered my gun in January 2018. The gun has a great feel and the concept is fantastic. For a BB rifle it is very accurate at 30 feet and great for soda cans up to 60 feet. This is a great plinker and the fully automatic option is outstanding. Keep in mind this is a BB gun so don't expect a target rifle. This is really fun and enjoyable for what it is.

There is issues with this first generation. In a large majority of the rifles, including mine, the green Blow-back seal was installed backwards at the factory. Your gun will stop shooting eventually if the seal was improperly installed. That is a simple fix... PA made a video and shows you the simple process to repair it https://help.pyramydair.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007511553. There is also issues with the magazine. When I loaded the dual 12 grams Co2s in the magazine I was maybe getting 50 good shots and the power would drastically drop off. Then when you would remove the Co2's cartridges the Number 2 chamber Co2 would be basically full when you unscrewed piercing screw. I discovered the piercing cone on the Co2 chamber was being blocked and or constricted not allowing the Co2 liquid through the opening. I repaired mine but it appears we have two design flaws on the initial batch of rifles that should be corrected with the next order.

I am sure Crosman will correct these minor issues. My rifle was the most accurate with the Daisy Premium Zinc BB's 5.3 grain, 2" CTC 25 shot group at 30 feet. They averaged 421 FPS in a 10 shot group, low 411 FPS and a High of 435 FPS (StdDev 8.60). The Dust Devils BB's 4.35 grain, 2.5" CTC 25 shot group at 30 feet. Averaged 465 FPS in 10 shot group, low of 448 FPS and a High of 488 FPS (StdDev 12.71). I got 150 usable shots, "6" magazines on an 86 degree day. This is a fun rifle and I would highly recommend it. I am sure the shipment delay until September is so Crosman can address any of these minor issues. I want to thank Craig P at PA for always being responsive and being so helpful.

Pretty much works like the real steel version, except for a non-functional forward assist button - but that would have done nothing anyway. Love the working bolt release and charging handle! Well balanced with a solid feel, this is a full auto straight shooter and the most amount of fun for an air rifle in recent memory!

Adjustable elevation on the front sight post; but regardless I've already swapped mine out for proper Magpuls. Wished they offered a x2 bundle pack so I can build my own "Des" and "Troy"! Guess I can just order another one ha.

This is the closet thing to a real steel AR that I know of; and I have a couple of ARs. The great thing about it I can shoot in my living room vs an hour drive out to the range! Mag is good for about 4-5 full loads before you need to switch out cartridges. Additional mags are a must - I'm just waiting for them to come available!

3rd post regarding this rifle. Everyone is having problems with the green seal that is part of the bolt group. Most are thinking the seal was installed improperly/backwards. I found out this last weekend that the seal will flip itself inside out when overheated, even if it is seated properly. I suggest lubing the firing pin before shooting and don't leave the gun in the sun for long periods of time. If you can find glue to keep the seal in place without the glue eating away at the seal, you may wanna try that as well.

Replace the front sight with one that is adjustable for elevation. They made the rear sight adjustable, so I don't know why Crosman didn't do the same for the front sight. The speedloader reservoir often opens on its own dumping out all your bbs and the button to release the plunger is too exposed causing it to pop up when you don't need it to. I have a better design, but Crosman is gonna have to pay me for it.

I added a Centerpoint red-dot sight for better accuracy and a standard foregrip with a cavity for storing lube/allen wrenches instead of the angled one that comes with the rifle. Any 20mm picatinny rail accessories will fit if you want to add a quick clip for a tactical strap, but you will have to tie the strap to the butt using paracord.
This is probably the best addition but it doesn't add anything to the fps or accuracy, just for looks:

Great air rifle, has a high fun factor.

Need spare magazines available

Smooth bore barrel lacks accuracy but is still lots of fun.

Is a great pinker,it made me smile!

Love to have an larger mag

Short distance plinker but a lot of fun

The functionality of this airgun is excellently similar to an actual AR-15/M/16-style firearm, with the controls and operations being very close in feel and function to those platforms. It's extremely accurate, very mobile, and the collapsible/extendable stock allows for customization of the length of pull in a very convenient and precise way. The Picatinny quad rail is also very nice, allowing for customization with sight radius, grips, optics, and more. Overall, it is a fantastic air gun, very accurate in both semi- and fully automatic modes. The most fun I have had with an air gun, and quite useful for plinking or varmint control.

Larger capacity magazine, and more than one magazine included with the original package, even if a higher price is needed.

Make sure to "slap seat" the magazine, as you would an actual AR, because it can seem like it is locked in place but isn't quite. When fired, the magazine will blow loose downward and hit the ground quite hard. That can damage the magazine, at least cosmetically, if not functionally.

Also, the loader is a bit sticky and tough to use, but gets nice and smooth with a squirt of WD-40 down the opening where the BBs come out.

This is my second review - my first was a sad 1Star review. After getting over the initial disappointment of a speed loader that has nothing to do with speed and feeding it new Umarex Steel BB's it has turned into one of the nicest replica shooters I own. It is as close to the real thing as you can get. Solid - Accurate - Fun

I'm still fuming over the speed loader. I got it tuned in but had to take it apart twice. Thing is the mag is difficult to load. There should be a law that these type of spring loaded BB mags have a plunger lock. Here's a shout out to the industry loading BB's should not be a three handed process. GET IT RIGHT and QC that dang speed loader it's a PA three star item.!!..!!! It's kicking a five star airgun.

I'm seeing an accurate shooter here. I've mounted a red dot and can see the BB's hitting right close to where the dot hit and I really haven't dialed it in yet. Full auto is way fun and that seems controllable as well. This is a must have and hopefully a pointer of things to come.

Great feel, just like a real one. The blowback action is real to life also. Nice feel to the trigger, which translates in very good accuracy at the range. The quality and fun built into this gun are superb. I can shoot at the range and at home. The cost of shooting several hundred rounds is so low, you'll love it.

The loader is a bit tricky and could have been better thought out. Extra magazines are not available, as yet. Some have suggested a fifty round magazine but I think the twenty-five is fine.

Get on the pre-order list now. You don't want to put that off too long. Way too much fun, enjoy.

Looks cool as heck. I own (to the time I wrote this review) essentially all of the select fire AR/M4 looking bb guns out there. This one is the best looking and most accurate in terms of controls of the bunch. The fact that it has a working bolt catch and dust cover is really slick. It beats up beer cans like a champ.

It would be cool if they had used the flash can as an actual "flash can" and had the barrel inside the can, using the little vents around the front and side to spew out the CO2, but the barrel ends at the end of the can. Loading the magazine is fiddly as heck. It comes with a "loader" but I have yet to get it to work, at all. There is no spring fed follower lockback, which is really unacceptable in a spring loaded magazine these days. You really need a way to slide the follower down and lock it to the side for loading.

Like any full auto CO2 gun, the rate of fire slows down if you go mag dump crazy. You get lots of shots per 2 CO2 carts, which is nice (and not like the Uzi which dumps a full 12 gram to spray out a single mag), but as you start boiling off that CO2, you start to cool the gun, lose pressure in the gun, drop the rate of fire, and slow the rate of fire. That's not a bad thing, that's just how CO2 works. It's best used on a nice sunny day when it's warm to hot outside.

Thank you crossman for a fun plinker

Higher capacity mag
