Crosman Pulse R72 Black

fast rate of fire, accurate, and compact this gun is a great gun for major assults. I got an improved model but the original model is great for a beginner who wants a semi full auto gun.

there isnt anything i would really change. maybe give the gun a better sling but I made a sturdier one so its all good

this gun is great for beginner and packs a heck of a punch I keep the gun on semi auto most of the time becaus this gun will empty a clip in no time at all on full auto

feels pretty solid. long lasting battery. pretty nice and powerful for the price

definitely a shorter or colapesable stock. Great for second weapon or in tight firefights around walls and in buildings. belive me I would know it is'nt as good as my thompson m1a1 but it scares the crap out of my cousins

pretty good, but no matter what gun you get you're gunna need some skill to win a battle

feels good, pretty acurate, interchangeable sights, cheep

trigger doesn't pull back all the way

This gun is a great second gun

The gun's pretty solid, holds up well to the normal wear-and-tear of airsoft battles. I've seldom had any problems with the battery's life or output, though I followed the instructions to a tee and my batteries don't last as long as some of the other reviewers' did (9 hours?!). Once you get a feel for it, it's a very good weapon on a medium or close-range field. I also rather enjoy having that big magazine on my side, and it's even better that it's a breeze to refill. When you combine it with the weapon's ability to lay down a pretty nice rate of fire, it's very useful for keeping or getting someone boxed in when the fur's flying. On the flip-side, the semi-auto is also very comfortable to use on this gun, even in the middle of a fight, though it tends to give the impression that it's putting more power behind its shots than it really is. The size of this gun is nice, since it rarely gets in the way, and it would be even better if we were in an alternate universe where manufacturers didn't make strap hooks out of paper clips. Overall, the accuracy is solid when you're dealing with medium and close ranges (stays accurate up until about medium-medium range), but don't expect to surprise or reach out and touch anybody from a distance of medium-far, unless your buddies get a kick out of watching you waste ammo, that is. The hop-up offers very fine control, allowing for some satisfying personalization. In terms of bang for your buck, it doesn't get much better than this.

The plastic casing is more than solid enough that I won't complain, but I wish this weapon were more aftermarket friendly. What I mean by that is that it's not really a breeze to go in and try to replace much of anything with your own stuff- which is why I haven't bothered, since it's my only functioning AEG at the moment. The battery placement in the tactical mount is awkward, so it's a good thing the battery is strong, or I'd end up fussing with the silly thing for a good few minutes in the middle of the game. As far as the wind-up mechanism on the mag goes, it's not nearly as crippling as most people act like it is, with the exception of trying to consistently lay down a steady stream of covering fire, which ends up being a game of shoot a few rounds, wind-up, rinse, repeat. I've also seen this trigger-jamming phenomenon that other reviewers speak of, though it only usually happens to me after I've not played in a while. There's no real Achilles tendon to this gun because it's no Achilles, instead, there's a few minor nuisances to deal with. Still, there aren't any crippling flaws about this gun that are going to rear their ugly heads and gnaw your face off in the middle of a fight. If you can look past the little bugs here and there, and even if you can't, it's a very solid gun after everything is said and done. Just don't directly challenge someone who's clearly got you outgunned with this weapon or you'll be showing your darwin awards for a few days.

This is an easy gun to hip-fire with, but I don't recommend it since I, at least, always end up aiming much too low and lighting up people's legs.

Also, beware the screws- the manufacturer used cheap screws that will strip after just a few uses. You desperately need to replace the screws in the magazine with some solid ones if you can, since the feeding mechanism is extremely vulnerable to a malformed BB getting very stuck in there. I know this from experience. If you like to mess around with your gun's innards, you should probably just go ahead and replace all the external screws.

Also, if you're in a league, it's relatively easy to end up getting somewhat outgunned when using this weapon. Just pay attention to what everyone else is doing, and be ready to move on to bigger and better things when the time comes.

PS- You'll wake the neighbors. This is a no-go if you like to be at all sneaky.

I liked the rate of fire and the velocity delivered with each bb. Its also very combat effective because it can lay down a lot of cover fire when needed, as well as pin your enemies down until your soildiers can move in to finish them off.

I would change the primary material to metal rather than abs plastic and I would also make easier to acquire another magazine. The velocity could also be improved to at least 300 fps.

Always use .2 gram airsoft bbs for best performance and to avoid jamming the gun. I'm not sure as to whether the gear box is metal or not, and a plastic gear box will wear out very quikley compared to a metal one.

Huge mag capcity, firepower, accuricy, range

colapsable/removable stock, two batteries

get lots of ammo, two batteries and moniter charge time carefuly, BUY THIS GUN !

some what light weight semi and full-auto g-3 style high mag cap

metal body 400+ fps 9.6 in stock

one of the best guns i've ever seen from crossman, but if your up against the agm 416(my gun) then your gona get owned...bad!

Great gun with amazing accuarcy. Good power behind it to

I would like it to have tactical rails built in on top so I wouldn't have to add any

Worth the money

this rifle is great. its really accurate for a barrel thats only 6 in long. the hop up works great, the mag holds lots of ammo,the 4 sights are nice,and the trigger works very smoothly.

the gun doesnt really have a solid feeling even though it preforms great and mabey put some rails on top

i recomend using 20g bb

Good hand grip and trigger pull, shoots pretty accurate at short and medium range. Hard to beat for beginners and somewhat experianced air soft gunners. Hits hard, my friends are all ways mad when i use it because they know that they will have some problems trying to take me down.

not very accurate at more than 50 yds. There is a small knob that you have to crank on the bottom of the clip to get it to shoot the whole clip (375 rounds) , without reloading, but you have to re-crank it at least 2 times before it uses the whole clip, and there is not enough time to re crank it in the middle of a battle.

on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, this guns overall score is about an 7 or an 8
