Page 3 - Crosman DPMS FDE Reviews

I liked that everybody else went for the black colored version of DPMS SBR so this one is available for purchase. There's literally nothing to say about this SBR anymore, all the reviews covered it.

Adding a sling mount on the stock would be very nice

I've put the following on the SBR: -Angel Custom HIVE Airsoft Suppressor Barrel Extension (Model: Power UP 160mm / 14mm Neg.) -UTG Rubber Armored Bipod w/ QD Mount -Sightmark SM26034 -Sightmark 7X Tactical Magnifier -Firefield Heavy Duty Laser Flashlight Foregrip FF35002 Where do I upload my photo?

I would have given this rifle 5 stars if not for the magazine issues described below---I just received my Crosman DPMS a few days ago and decided to try it out yesterday for the first time in our back yard after mounting a Sig Romeo5 Red Dot sight on it. Using Hornady Black Diamond it took me only a few shots to sight it in. I LOVE this gun. I actually did most of my shooting in semi auto and was surprised by the accuracy I was getting--consistently hitting soda cans standing from around 30 ft. SO MUCH FUN!! also shot a couple mags in full auto which was truly amazing. I am very new to the whole airgun world- I have been shooting guns for over 20 years but just got into Airguns after finding Pyramid Air and all the great online reviews. I started with buying a Colt Commander 1911 bb gun a few weeks ago from Pyramid which I LOVE and now I have this Crosman DPMS!!!! I love it- HOWEVER-- I am having trouble w the mags which I'll explain below-

I ordered an extra magazine so I'd have 2. I watched a TON of Youtube videos on this gun before buying it and in every review the guy is able to pull the magazine follower all the way down by using his finger/thumb to load the mag. I was very dismayed to find when I unboxed my extra mag yesterday for the first time, the follower does not go all the way down- it is impossible to load the mag. I can see about 1/4" of spring tension at the bottom of the mag window and the follower just will not go below that-- so I cannot push the follower down enough to load the mag even when I use the mag loader and even when I used a punch to really push down the follower hard-- it will not go down all the way. So my $50 extra magazine arrived broken and I cannot even load it. And on the other magazine, although I can load it, I have to use a punch to push it all the way down, using my fingers is not enough-strange because I watch a ton of Youtube vids where reviewers easily just use their finger.

FANTASTIC and very realistic SBR. I own a few 5.56 SBR's and am amazed at the quality of this rifle. And I love the way it shoots as well. BUT, after taking it out for the first time yesterday, I am EXTREMELY frustrated that both the magazine that came with the rifle as well as the extra magazine I bought for it, don't work. Well at least one does not work-- I think it has something to do with the spring tension. On the other mag that I am able to load, the magazine follower does not go all the way down using my fingers. I have to use a punch to get it down that last 1/2". As a person who has been shooting guns for over 25 years and cleaned and disassembled hundreds of magazines, I would've thought there'd be a way to take the magazine apart to try and remedy these issues. I will contact Pyramid Air next week to let them know about the magazine that doesn't work. This rifle is AMAZING and I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for my issues I'm having with the magazines.

Overall presentation of the gun as well as the performance exceeds expectations.

The auto loader mechanism does not work most of the time. Need some refining to perform more proficient.

Awssome

Mag loading

Great time with family and friends

Accuracy, ability to add lights/lasers/etc FULL AUTO BABY!!!

The ability to change stocks, add a ring for a single point sling.

Ok the main thing I want to say is I have read a lot of reviews saying the magazine loader is junk and boo hoo hoo.....well I dont know if they are trying to use some weird over sized BB or are just some 10 year old kid repeating what they have read? Or it may be they simply just have no idea how it use it I have fired my SBR over 3000 times every BB went through the speed loader flawlessly I am even able to load my Betetta 92 mags with it.

Great looks, realistic weight and AR functions. So much fun to shoot, I added a red dot sight. I loaded BB's by hand which was quite easy. I'm collecting Social Security later this year so i'm no kid but older people can enjoy these too. My wife Donna Lynn loves shooting it too and we bust up plastic water bottles and other targets in my garage "Air Firearms Range". Thank you Crosman.

Include an extra mag for maybe $30.

I bought this rifle in tan and I really love it! I already gave my interview on it on the black version,whoops, this is what I got! The clip covers on mine are extremely lose and there are no sling mounting points and this is rather heavy for such a short compact design! Other than these two issues I love shooting this little beast, lays a lot of fire down in a hurry!

Improved loading follower in all clips of this design and or a spring tool to hold it back while loading bbs. Clip covers I wound up use electricians black tape to hold mine on and probably do the same to tape them together topsyturvy!

If it lasts, it is a lot of fun and I enjoy mine unlike other Crosman guns this one doesnt rattle ,no loose bbs or parts lose on the gun except for my clip air compartment covers! Im pretty darned pleased with this gun,and looking for something similar in airsoft!

EVERYTHING.

I put a better set of sights on mine and an adjustable cheek weld would be nice but it is fine just the way it came.

Get one you will be glad you did.

Great air gun.

Sights

Pretty much everything. I've read some sketchy reviews, but mine works perfectly. The bolt stays open when the magazine empties, and won't keep running the gas out. It's been an absolute blast.

Really not much, maybe a q/d mount on the stock?

The speed loader, that came with it, if you want it to work, be prepared to take it apart and modify it. Otherwise, loading the mag can be a pain. And as fast as it empties them, can make for a lot of work for so little fun. But then again, they don't call it a giggle switch for nothing. Lol

Loads of fun, I could not stop laughing while I was pulling the trigger. I highly recommend this air gun.

Maybe come with more than one mag.

Incredibly fun! Cheap to shoot! Full auto that is legal! Weight and feel are good. Feels close to the real thing, and a whole lot cheaper to shoot.

The BB speed loader sort of sucks. I'll be making my own soon out of a long metal tube, a funnel, a small metal tab, and some JB weld.

Take this out and shoot it. Destroy some targets. Rip some pop cans up. Don't let your wife shoot this....she will take it over. Yes, it is that much fun.

Man Crosman knocked it outta the park with this, Feels and looks like the real deal. The BB's cycle great through mine and have had no hangups.

The only thing i would change is the bb speedloader that comes package with it, That thing is junk.

For the money this is one of the most fun co2 guns you can buy right now as i'm posting this review. Such a blast to shoot.

The gun is exactly as described. Loads of fun to shoot. Inexpensive to shoot. unexpectedly accurate for a BB gun. My experience with shot quanity per two cartridge load has been has at or better than the advertised 175. Have spoken to Crossman tech support several times regarding this and other Crossman products own. Always very helpful.

The instructions say "to pull the clip spring back till it catches to load." It does not not have any catch mechanism. The supplied speed loader will not work if filled and used as designed. If only 5 or 6 BBs are put in it at a time it will function. A catch mechanism would be a simple and much needed addition to the expensive clips.

The only reason I didn't give all 5 stars was the clip issue. Really fun gun to shoot. Especially with laser sight in full auto. The combination cross-hair and laser sight on mine is perfect for this gun.

Fun, realistic feel and takedown.

Metal frame and handguards. Also better trigger pull.

Really nice quality, Overall I really like it.

The magazine only holds 25 rounds and it only comes with one.I bought a spare but they run from 50 to $60 each. The speedloader was a nice idea but I broke mine on the first day. it's just like the airsoft ones, cheap plastic. someone should Market one made of metal.

Get one for the fun of it.

Good weight and feel. Aesthetics are nice. Most of the important parts appear to be well-made and durable. My kids and I enjoy sport and target shooting with real firearms. I got this as a neat back-yard toy. It fills that role pretty well. While the "Picatinny" accessory rails are plastic, it will retain optics well enough for a BB gun. I mounted a low-end reflex sight on it, and that greatly improved the usability. Most of the controls are in the right place and function similar to the real thing.

The trigger is far worse than I thought a trigger could ever be. It's too heavy for one of my kids to pull who happens to be pretty excellent at consistently pulling triggers on actual firearms. Without a gauge, I'd have to guess this trigger requires at least 10-to-12 pounds of pressure to actuate. It's also really inconsistent, mushy, and "stages" three or four times. Besides the trigger, the best improvement would be to implement a last-round "bolt" hold-open feature. When the magazine is empty, the action still cycles and makes the same noise as it does when it's firing--while still expending CO2. Umarex seems to have this figured out in their full-auto CO2 guns. At this price point, I assumed such a basic capability would be included.

The rifle is really unreliable in mildly cool (~50 degrees F) weather. I've since learned that's just a thing with CO2 guns. Not a deal-breaker, but something to know. The product description on most sites don't indicate whether or not the rifle works in a semi-automatic mode. Semi-automatic does work, and makes it easier to hit targets.

Full Auto and Authentic Tactical look.

The Speed Loader is almost useless and feels like an easy to break plastic toy...! Don't like the Stock Sights (Especially the Rear One) On full Auto... (1.5 Seconds) to empty...!

A lot of Fun,.. For 1.5 Seconds till empty...!

My Kids friends love it I have 8 friends that have bought it from you after the shot it

Make a bigger clip hold more BB's 50 to 60

Buy extra clips

This gun is tons of fun to shoot. 25 to 30 BBs. doesn't sound like alot but it is.

The speedloader is a bit to get used to. The sights could be better, but they're ok to get started . I put a red dot on mine, really nice.

Buy it you won't be sorry.
