Page 3 of 5 - Crosman R1 Full-Auto Kit Reviews

only got to use it 2 days

didnt really get familiar with gun .broke after 2 days

right cylinder would not puncture completely. waiting 7 days, still no return authorization . cant get thru to customer service by phone. told to call back. not the P/A I'm used to dealing with

Realistic styling and weight.

The picatinni rail edges are too sharp.

Mine worked fine in semi-auto mode, but struggled in full auto. After only the third magazine in full auto, the barrel actually shook loose(!!) and rendered the gun inoperable. As this happened past the 30-day Pyramyd return period, I have to now pay to ship it to Crosman directly for repair.

I would not buy this again.

Very fun gun to shoot. Full auto, blowback, built well and looks like the real deal. Plenty of room for accessories / attachments. Overall a quality air rifle.

Because gun does not come with iron sights and a red dot sight. It takes some time to mount and zero your rifle in. Having it already mounted and sighted in out the box would be a little more user friendly. Bigger magazine would hurt.

Red dot sight did not come with battery.
Speed loader works fairly well, using bb gun oil or WD40 helps feed the bb's out.
Don't put more than 25 bb's in the magazine, could jam or shoot doubles even on semi auto from my Exp.

It works! My son and I ran about five mags through ours before it ran out of CO2 without a hiccup. It is very accurate in semi and full auto. The rifle handles like the real deal. It is amazing that you can get something this fun for this price. Dumping a mag into a sub 1" group in a couple of seconds is awesome!

It might be just mine, but the trigger pull is heavy. The red dot sits too low for me to use it easily but it works and it is easy to adjust zero with the included allen wrench. The magazine follower and spring does not lock open for loading, which is a significant PITA. The included plastic and flexy BB loader helps address this problem, but contributes issues of its own, namely not reliably feeding Crosman Copperhead (recommended for use in this rifle by Crosman) or Umarex BBs. I ended up hand feeding BBs into the mag, which is slow and annoying. Another brand of BB may work better and I have oiled the loader, which will hopefully result in smoother operation. I am still glad to have this rifle: we love it.

The magazine does not drop free in spite of having a functioning M16/AR15 type magazine release. This is actually a good thing, as the magazine is heavy and contains two CO2 cylinders and some important hardware. You don't want this magazine hitting the ground at full speed. No speed loading practice with this rifle.

Hey Crosman, how about a M-14, G-3, Steyr AUG and Uzi Pro SMG?

Weight and feel is very realistic.

Better sight.

Buy alot of co2 cartridges because this thing is fun.

The feel

Bigger magazines

Fun,Fun, and more Fun. I have numerous CO2 weapons and this does not disappoint. It feels like the actual weapon, accurate and just fun to shoot. Buy plenty of cartridges and bb's, you won't want to put it down.

a little better quality red dot would help.

Plan on buying more than one if you have a wife, girlfriend, or kids, unless you are happy to watch them shoot.

The service from the company has been good so far. However, I sent the gun back last week for a refund as it does not work.

The problem with this gun seems to be a known problem. I would recommend not selling this gun until these problems are resolved.

The magazine is very difficult to load.

Quality of the gun is excellent! A lot of fun to shoot. Accuracy is OK, fine considering its an unrifled barrel shooting bbs.

The magazine loader is garbage. Mine shattered its lower end after loading 3 magazines.

Get lots of bbs and co2!

Looks of rifle, weight.

Larger mag capacity
