One thing I've noticed with crosman pumper guns is they NEED oil to achieve maximum velocity, I own one of these and if you oil the piston and pump head then crony it right after it will hit the 1000 fps mark with the 4gr crosman ssp,mine does right around 12 ft lbs with lead for about 20 shots then velocity drops off until you oil it again. Try it, believe me they love oil.
@@yosemitesam7422 at age 62 if i am your son, i should call you pops and you should be very old lol. anywhos, i,m glad it still works for you but i was a bit afraid of trying it myself
on Amazon is says..." Velocity: up to 1000 FPS (alloy pellets)/up to 800 FPS BBs " and with lead pellets, it would be even slower, more like the results you were getting... ( BTW, nice video)
Yes, it's worth trying it out at 30 yards, or even at 50. I have the crosman 2100, a ten pumper, and it chrony's around 650 fps with regular crosman lead pellets (7.4 grain). But it's very important to keep the pump cup oiled. They don't have the oiler pad anymore, so they require oiling about every 50 shots to maintain power. I've shot my 2100 out to 50 yards and it groups decently, about 3" groups. It won't reach 100 yards with any kind of accuracy at all, I've tried it. About 1 foot groups or worse, and no energy left. I also have a Daisy 880 and it produces a little more power, around 680 fps. It's also a little bit more accurate, especially at longer ranges. The 880 has a simple air stripper in the muzzle, which helps deflect turbulence as the pellet leaves the muzzle, and this helps quite a bit. It can be seen as a 1/4" gap between the end of the barrel and the muzzle cap. The 2100 does not have it. Both rifles are great for squirrels and birds out to 25 yards.
I shot a squirrel today and it didn’t fall straight off the tree and I’m using the crosman pellets with 7.4 grain in them but I used 10 pumps to try and kill him but he didn’t fall and I was wondering how can make them fall and kill them fast.
We get so caught up in the new pcp technologies and forget about these wonderful guns. I just picked up a vintage 1969 Crosman 760 with tootsie roll wood foregrip. Beautiful gun. Wouldn't mind seeing ya revisit these pumpers from time to time! 😎
the booklet says 1000 fps alloy pellets 800 fps for BBs and 700 fps for pellets. it did better than advertised. all the BB guns use the alloy pellet speed on the box cause its the fastest. some will have both speeds on the box if your lukcy. I have had it out preform what was advertised too. I got 1059 with alloy pellets and 750 with lead pellets and 815 with BBs.
I got one Sunday and camouflage it. And got a red dot lazer for it . Its a ok gun for the 54.00 I paid. Going to get a 22 pellet rifle later. Walmart has one for I think it s 125.00. Great video. I have some 8.7 grain pellets and I would not want to get hit with one of them.
750 is pretty good for a $50 pellet gun, I wish they wouldn't lie about velocity. I bought one knowing 1000 fps was a false claim, but for the price it's still a good pellet gun.
Good review. I love this air rifle it is my boredom buster. I set up old soup, soda, and bean cans in the tree about 20yards out from the porch. I shoot for hours at a time. I have a $30 walmart scope Barska 3-9×32 instead of the 4x15. I practice hitting the lettering on the cans or the bar code box. I plan on small game hunting with this set up. With practice and fine tuning the scope you can head shot small game. The crosman was $54 and the scope $30 so for less that $100 I have a great shooting rifle. I bought a total of 5 crosman legacy 1000 I have over 4000 rounds of .177 pellets ready for the world to go to...
I got one the other day. Never had a pump style before. The a grouping I got out of the box at 15 yards, with bbs, was the same as yours. Low and to the right. After playing with the sights a bit, it's very accurate at 20 yards. What FPS does that get with bbs? I filled a milk jug with water, drew a rat as a target, and put five bbs through both sides of the jug on only five to six pumps. Tight grouping on the target. The scope is less than desirable, but I like the fibre optic sight and ability to elevate the rear sight. For the money, I'm not disappointed.
I wouldn't put too many bb's through it unless they are lead. Steel ones will quickly wear down the rifling. Only shoot bb's through a smooth bore rifle barrel
Great video my friend, really enjoy your content. Your material is always informative and entertaining to watch. As far as fps claims it seems as though the majority of airgun manufactures make up their own ghost numbers , its seldom that i come across a valid claim , more so with the lower end and budget friendly guns. I have never understood how they are able to reach these numbers when i can barely come close , and i have tried numerous brands of pellets in various weights , yet i fall a few hundred fps short of their advertised speed. Not only should they advertise the speed , perhaps include on the box how they did so. With all that being said , these fictional numbers would have me thinking this is a case of false advertising or deceptive advertising and that is illegal . Im left wondering how they can continue doing this without being questioned or stopped?
This kind of scummy capatalism is infesting our entire society. Last I heard crosman is also cheaping out on Co2 cartridges and it blew up in someones hand. This kind of bacterial behavoir is becoming increasingly common in not just in the BB gun industry but across all industries these days. I partly want more regulation but I am concerned that the Californians will try to over-regulate everything and then America will turn into a third-world place like California or Europe where they are not even allowed to have knives. th-cam.com/video/DHXBacEH0qo/w-d-xo.html
I bought one just to take the pump arm out and put in my 2100 Classic. Works great and I put the plastic one from my 2100 classic into the Legacy 1000.
Great review...Geeze Louise!!!! I like your style.... Perhaps the FPS will pick up after a few hundred rounds thru it. I doubt 200 FPS more but maybe something.
For $50 and if you keep your expectations low you wont be too disappointed. But yeah, I've always REALLY wanted to know what on earth they were shooting to claim those speeds because i couldnt even get close with BBs. This was a fun one too watch! You were testing ang scratching your head like everyone else who has tried the same. Thumbs Up
Just bought one earlier today thinking it would do 1,000 FPS. Wish I had seen this video before I bought it as it seems like it’s fake advertisement. Still having a blast with it tho, pretty damn accurate even with the crap scope it came it
@@dirtrider88 thinner air means less drag for the projectile which means it will reach a higher velocity. Please enlighten me on how this is wrong, thanks.
I despise liars. What a blatant misrepresentation of their product and so unnecessary on the part of Crosman. This is clearly an entry level air rifle for a younger or inexperienced shooter at this price and build of quality (which looks to be pretty much non existent in this gun). Why not just advertise the solid 660 plus fps you can expect with lead pellets? There's nothing shameful about that for what it is. I don't have the arms for all that pumping and flapping around lol. I'm glad you exposed this for what it is for those who do not have chrony's. Let the buyer beware! It's a shame how airgun manufacturers feel like they have to bullshit their way to a sale. Such is life with most things these days though I suppose.
I live out here in Hawaii where we have a feral chickens population problem due to no natural predators. The damn Rooster would fly up in the tree next to my apartment window and starts crowing at 4am for 3 hours straight! After 2 months of his BS, I got fed up, bought this Crosman legacy 1000 rifle and used crosman pointed .177 pellet. I shot at him from the ground about 15ft, and the damn bird just fell from his roost and laugh at me then run off. I think I either need a more powerful gun or a better pellet for penetration. He's about the size of a small turkey, wouldn't die and he's back at it the next morning. I'm losing sleep and my sanity at this point!
Oh man that is hilarious. Honestly this gun is low powered. Only chance you would have at getting him with this crosman would be with a perfect headshot. My best advice would be to get more power, even a 22 cal break barrel would do the job much better.
A Benjamin marauder pistol/P rod would definitely silence him permanently. Just be dang sure to have a solid backstop behind your aim point. They are enough to drop a full grown raccoon or groundhog and is accurate enough to hit a wood match at thirty yards. Plus zero recoil.
@@shawndubay4050 I got the job done with a Gamo Varmint break barrel and H&N gold tip pellet. I aim for the head, once he fell out of the tree, I was able to get a second shot in and got him in the midsection. I think he bled out and died somewhere. He never came back.
@@horacevu wow! First time I heard of one getting away. A tough one. Two shots and still running. Yeah the marauder pistol in .22 puts out about 26 fpe and with a head shot they are pretty much done before they hit the ground. When they get to the ground the only thing happening is nerve spasms and flinching but the lights are definitely out. Good eating from what I hear. I personally have a .22 Hatsan Bullboss and a .25 Airforce Condor SS. Both are very accurate and heavy hitters. Both are great hunting air rifles. Great options for the future.
legacy 1000 is basically slightly modified version of old crosman powermaster 66. Not surprising that it can't come close to 1000 fps. Heck of a bargain though, considering inflation and that old powermaster 66 sold for $50-$60 at walmart couple of decades ago.
I going to buy one I think I'll buy one I've been really been disappointed in a couple break barrels I've bought the gamo swarm magnum 22 caliber expensive gun I've shot and shot it will not stay sighted in bought a expensive replacement scope didn't help magazine is very cheaply made the spring that holds it in place is constantly falling apart not getting a good seal at the breach the plastic has a piece missing
There are variables to this claim. When Crosman and other manufacturers often make this advertised claim... it is usually done with lighter non lead PBA ammo which is much lighter and therefore travels much faster than your average lead pellet. heavier lead ammo will not travel as fast but will have more impact on the target.
@@ShootingGearReviews I watched your video again and realize You did all that already. However... break in and then oiling of the seals could also improve your ballistics over time. Back when I was kid... I had the 766 which was the earlier version of the 2100 or Legacy 1000. When the gun was new... it did not seem to penetrate 1/4" plywood with 10 pumps, but a few weeks later... it was blowing clean through 1/4" plywood with 10 pumps bb's or pellets.
Enjoyed the video! I actually got mine out this afternoon and shot a few pellets. I'm still sore! You must be a lot stronger than I am, Ha! Of course, I was shooting a bunch of other guns also so it wasn't all the Legacy's fault. Looks like I'm going to have to so some exercises just to be able to shoot the darn thing! Maybe I'd better stick to my Break Barrels or pneumatic guns.
I've tested my 2100 on my chrony with 7.4 grain lead pellets. With ten pumps it will average around 650. But ONLY if it's properly oiled. The guy in this video probably didn't oil it first, and that does help quite a bit. These guns used to have an oiler pad on the pump rod, but they don't anymore, and require more frequent oiling. Usually every 50 shots or so it's a good idea to put a drop of oil in it.
I stopped the video so not sure if are/did what I an suggesting. Fire the gun a couple of times after shooting with the 12 pumps to see if there is reserve air in the gun. My really super Benjamin 22 cal does have reserve air sometimes simply meaning dometimes it doesn;t release enough of the pressure to speed up the pellet.
even back in 2003 the alloy pel claim 1000fps even in crossman spring piston rifles, truth be told who uses alloy pellets.and p/s who in there right mind wants to pump a gun 12 times more than twice?
You know it does lose pressure over time after you pump it.... So the longer you wait before you pull the trigger after pumping....the lower the FPS is on the chrono because of losing pressure.... Try pumping it more than 12 times... and dont wait so long before pulling the trigger... You might see different results... and....use some BB's instead of pellets all the time... I am just saying...!!!
have 3 of these now, haven't shot 1 shot yet. purchased 1st about month and half ago and stock broke off and receiver fell apart while oiling, contacted crosman, they sent a replacement, this replacement couldn't be cocked, crosman sent another, while trying to cock it the stock broke off and wouldn't cock either, ive tried 3 contact attempts by email and phone and no response from crosman. very disappointed in crosman quality, have owned crosman in past and never had issues like this.
I had a very similar looking model 966(well 9 something thereabouts).I guess it shot out the pellets at around 700 fps although I had no way of measuring it.
That sound! They're tumbling out of the barrel. At least that's what it sounds like. I usually hear that sound when my ammo ricochets off something hard period would be interesting if you could figure out a way to tell if that's what's happening, because it sounds like it.
I’ve had this for a few months and I shot it at night the other day and noticed sparks coming from my barrel when I shoot. Is this normal? It happens usually when I pump it to 10 and shoot in the dark.
New gun, barrel should be cleaned 1st. Possible debris in barrel, you could use patch w/ lite oil after it has been cleaned, all links on pump arm &pump cup should have been lubed. Still using my 1980's 2100 classic,did replace pump cup & 80's 3177, nothing replaced. Have 3 break barrels. Have dieseled them, new 1377 also. Everything checked & lubed 1st.
the crosman 2100 says you can pump up to 12 pumps on the front of the box it says that so both guns you can but they really are the same gun ever the air master remington 77 is the same gun to lol or old 766 crosman lol
don't care if it is a thousand feet per second, is it accurate enough to tag the rabbits in my yard. i bought one because i bet it is. and it doesn't need to hit that hard to do what i want. it is cheap and between it and my vigilante there are going to be allot of dead rabbits this spring.
So I actually had a 760 old school vintage and it was way better built with metal hardware and rifled barrel It would take rabbit and squirrel no problem longest shot I think was like 50 yards making the rabbit backflip
Is this strong enough against a cat? . Got a male alley cat jumping my fence and harrasing/rping my female cats .. he messed up my male cat and he died of his injuries (ripped up his nuts) two days ago.. im out for blood now
It would most likely just injure the cat. I don’t think it would have the power. Not unless you got the luckiest shot ever and hit the perfect spot in the head. I’d suggest that you get a .22 cal break barrel. Maybe a Gamo magnum. Yea that will smoke that cat.

If it was a 22 1000fps I'd be interested !... guess Crosman just rounded up 😂💯
If that only does 700 plus fps, then the 2100 classic probably only does 400 plus on the chrony even though the box says 700 plus fps.
I've tested my 2100 on my chrony with 7.4 grain lead pellets. With ten pumps it will average around 650. But ONLY if it's properly oiled. The guy in this video probably didn't oil it first, and that does help quite a bit. These guns used to have an oiler pad on the pump rod, but they don't anymore, and require more frequent oiling. Usually every 50 shots or so it's a good idea to put a drop of oil in it.
Trevor Jameson did your 2100 come with a scope? I heard the ones that come with the scope are more powerful than ones without it?
You're not supposed to shoot gamo in a crossman.... It's even in the directions... U use crossman or Benjamin
Pellets are close enough its not going to matter. They just put that in the directions so that you will buy their brand of pellets.
@@ShootingGearReviews I'm just saying maybe they shoot better out of it
I stopped the video so not sure if are/did what I an suggesting. Fire the gun a couple of times after shooting with the 12 pumps to see if there is reserve air in the gun. My really super Benjamin 22 cal does have reserve air sometimes simply meaning dometimes it doesn;t release enough of the pressure to speed up the pellet.
you probably have to be at sea level or below?
yep, not a mile high like he is where the air is far less dense.
It looks just like my Remington Woodsmaster!! Awesome 💯👍
I'm consistently getting 750fps with the Crosman 7.9 grain hollowpoints. You're losing around 100fps by virtue of you being 1000ft above sea level
For a 49 dollar air gun thats not bad at all very affordable and it can get the job done with small game
On mine when i pump it i dont close it fully. When i go all the way back like you nomaly would so am i doing it right
can those kind of pumping airguns be diesling with WD 40 pellets liek spring / vortex rifles.
Thank you so much for this vid
Subbed, for telling the truth 👍🏻
Nice review.I like the crosman summit ranger better.just my preference tho.
Good review!! Do a review on the Benjamin Ironhide.22 sometime.
26 pumps on a crosman, and its time to play.
even back in 2003 the alloy pel claim 1000fps even in crossman spring piston rifles, truth be told who uses alloy pellets.and p/s who in there right mind wants to pump a gun 12 times more than twice?
You know it does lose pressure over time after you pump it.... So the longer you wait before you pull the trigger after pumping....the lower the FPS is on the chrono because of losing pressure.... Try pumping it more than 12 times... and dont wait so long before pulling the trigger... You might see different results... and....use some BB's instead of pellets all the time... I am just saying...!!!
The crosman F4 is still the best bet for your hard earned $. 100 fps no problem. Cheers..
have 3 of these now, haven't shot 1 shot yet. purchased 1st about month and half ago and stock broke off and receiver fell apart while oiling, contacted crosman, they sent a replacement, this replacement couldn't be cocked, crosman sent another, while trying to cock it the stock broke off and wouldn't cock either, ive tried 3 contact attempts by email and phone and no response from crosman. very disappointed in crosman quality, have owned crosman in past and never had issues like this.
I bought a Crossman revolver and cylinder wouldn't pop out so you could load it. Some of their stuff seems to be very low quality
Great video bro.!
Appreciate it!
I had a very similar looking model 966(well 9 something thereabouts).I guess it shot out the pellets at around 700 fps although I had no way of measuring it.
That sound! They're tumbling out of the barrel. At least that's what it sounds like. I usually hear that sound when my ammo ricochets off something hard period would be interesting if you could figure out a way to tell if that's what's happening, because it sounds like it.
1000 is the model number. It's a lower quality gun than the pot metal receiver 2100 Classic.
I’ve had this for a few months and I shot it at night the other day and noticed sparks coming from my barrel when I shoot. Is this normal? It happens usually when I pump it to 10 and shoot in the dark.
If you are using BB's, or alloy pellets, yes that would be normal metal against metal. Lead pellets would be too soft I would assume.
Change the valve spring to a lighter spring, the one in there is much to strong. Get one strong enough to close the valve pin, just enough.
Y didn't you test it with regular bbs instead of pellets? surely it would be faster with regular BBs
The pellets are lighter that the bbs and the manufacturer said to use the light pellets to get the highest velocity. It’s in the manual.
How’s it holding up today?
New gun, barrel should be cleaned 1st. Possible debris in barrel, you could use patch w/ lite oil after it has been cleaned, all links on pump arm &pump cup should have been lubed. Still using my 1980's 2100 classic,did replace pump cup & 80's 3177, nothing replaced. Have 3 break barrels. Have dieseled them, new 1377 also. Everything checked & lubed 1st.
Spray a little wd40 down the barrel. Gives you about another 200 fps
Great video 👍
Where do you find Alloy Pallet
I no I live on 5 ack yard an mine with bullets shot clear across with 4.9 gram.gamp pellets it's a great gun
I got that same rifle for my birthday and I still can barely Even do 2 pumps😬
I just got it for Christmas!
Granted I can't use it actual untill Christmas
Joe even the roblox kid has better spelling than you 😂😂😂
yes, i also find it hard to get 3 pumps...is it just me, the rifle, or is there something i'm doing wrong
That's what she said!
IS IT ILLEGAL FOR THESE COMPANIES TO SAY THAT A AIR RIFLE GOES 1,000 FT AND IT ONLY GOES 600 FPS ISN'T THAT FALSE ADVERTISEMENT
I am not defending unful claims.. but mine is lethal withing 25... and not so over powered that it damages property.
I’m sure shooting it in the windy weather probably effected the distance
Did it come with the scope?
Why do they lie? We’ll take it back if we find out....so...?!?
Mine is leaking air when trigger is prest
Epic Vid.
So, out of the 30 videos I’ve watched on pump guns, it seems like the best one is the Umarex NXG APX.
That’s why I got one … for that speed baby
Go back to Walmart and tell them to give your money back
I pumped mine up to 18 and that did close to 1000 fps for me
Did it break later?
the crosman 2100 says you can pump up to 12 pumps on the front of the box it says that so both guns you can but they really are the same gun ever the air master remington 77 is the same gun to lol or old 766 crosman lol
I had the old 766, and oiled up it was strong enough to nock anything down within 20yds. Had 3-9 scope. Super accurate.
Great for dealing with rats and is accurate with bbs at 25 yards
I'm going to buy one
I bought one but I can't have it till christmas
After 8 pumps it's stiff
Perhaps you should try a BB.
On the box it states that the alloy pellets will do up to 1000 fps and BBs will do up to 800.
don't care if it is a thousand feet per second, is it accurate enough to tag the rabbits in my yard. i bought one because i bet it is. and it doesn't need to hit that hard to do what i want. it is cheap and between it and my vigilante there are going to be allot of dead rabbits this spring.
I thought on the box it said up to 1000 ft using allied pellets
So I actually had a 760 old school vintage and it was way better built with metal hardware and rifled barrel It would take rabbit and squirrel no problem longest shot I think was like 50 yards making the rabbit backflip
manufacturers need to stop lying to people
Is this strong enough against a cat? . Got a male alley cat jumping my fence and harrasing/rping my female cats .. he messed up my male cat and he died of his injuries (ripped up his nuts) two days ago.. im out for blood now
It would most likely just injure the cat. I don’t think it would have the power. Not unless you got the luckiest shot ever and hit the perfect spot in the head. I’d suggest that you get a .22 cal break barrel. Maybe a Gamo magnum. Yea that will smoke that cat.
Nice video. 👍👍👍
