- Does The Crosman Legacy 1000 REALLY do 1000FPS?! Not even close! The Legacy 1000 didn't do the claimed 1000 FPS in my testing like it claims it does on the box. It is a fairly accurate little pumper though and very affordable at less than $50, but it sure would have been a keeper if it made the 1000 FPS as promised on the box. I say give this one a pass guys its nothing better than any other pumper out there.
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.
Why don't you do a video?
True
that would be called dieseling and would wear out seals faster
@@kennethrisner8648 I've been doing the oil thing two years n still works good and no problem with seals so the just false thing to say son
@@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)
i was gonna suggest BBs as well. they are lighter
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.
Right I don't think he can read lmao
@shawn336 lol I posted this last year, so I re-read what I put. Apparently, I can't spell either cause I miss spelled perform and lucky.
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.
Alloy pellets he used lead that's why it's so much slower
Ya he used heavy grain bbs or pellets if he used alloy it easily woukdvs dond 1000
800 fps with lead with no recoil could be a tac driver on squirrel
And rats.
@@loulopez554 no rats are .177 550 FPS
7:04 you can hear the zip sound
jag my pellet rifle makes this zip sound all the time and mine is spring .22
That was a ricochet, probably almost shot himself.
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! 😎
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.
@@bchristian.0678 you can use a broom
I bought this air gun for me and my son to target 🎯 practice and we both really enjoy it great gun for the low price! Great video 👍😎🤘
Forgot to add that I really like your range! Looks like Devil's Tower out there to the right!
I've had two of these, both broke within a month ! But my daisy 880 still going strong 💪 after 4 years😁
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...
What type of oil do you use for the pump mechanics? That recommended RMC oil is crazy expensive
@@walterclements2877 I use crosman pellagun oil. I picked it up when I bought the air rifles.
@@John336NLT you put that oil in the pump of the crosman legacy 1000?
@@walterclements2877 just oil as owner manual states to.
@@John336NLT the crosman pellgun oil?
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.
Nice review... Can you show the CRONY with different pumps (1-12)?
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
Obviously they were shooting an invisible pellet that didn't weigh anything 🤣
Plastic tipped pellets
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 don't really care about the speed. I just care about if it can keep the zoo away from our house lol.
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
Oil works...so does a BB behind the pellet to seat the skirt of the pellet for tight groups...9 pumps is good for 50 yds....
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.
My crossman used to shoot thru rabbits and squirrels, ducks. Head shot that thing already.
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.
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.
@wally walton but after a few hundred rounds, the rifling will wear down too. Whatever small bump in FPS won't mean shit with an Accuracy drop.
It'll drop a squirrel. I had some raiding my tomatoes and it took care of them.
Doesn't altitude affect it?
12 pumps reminds of the # 11 on the amp volume in the movie spinal tap lol
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
I want the 760 pump master or the Crosman legacy 1000 but idk which one is better
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
Elevation level and you gotta oil the pump
It will make 1000fps at the summit of mount everest.
you dont know how air density works
@@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.
If they say 12 pumps…I go 13.😎
Arrive on time and works great. could not be happier with the product.
Man you need to start READING instructions before making assumptions about the product. It's really one of the best 1's for the money
Could ya do the Crosman Valiant ELite 22
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.
If it was a 22 1000fps I'd be interested !... guess Crosman just rounded up 😂💯
Yes! You read my mind
Still a decent gun for pest control
Can it kill rabbits
I searched this vid up because I might buy one
I have one it is the best one for the price
i think the daisy powerline 880 is a bit better because of the 20$ difference and shoots a bit harder than this one
@@sambernier1265 what type of oil do you use on yours
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 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.
For a 49 dollar air gun thats not bad at all very affordable and it can get the job done with small game
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 probably have to be at sea level or below?
yep, not a mile high like he is where the air is far less dense.
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
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.
I used some of the lightest led free pellets available...
@@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 reckon you’ve broken it in by now. What type of oil do you use for the pump mechanics?
@@walterclements2877 he died bro
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
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 just subscribed to you bro., I like your content!
Great review!
Just got 902 FPS with Winchester 4.32 Grain... Lost 3 FPE though 😆 Merry Christmas all
Yes and have a MAGA New Year!!!!🫷😁🫸
Solid air gun all the way around. HOnestly the FPS for me isnt a huge deal if its 500 -600, Im good to go.
26 pumps on a crosman, and its time to play.
Dose this gun need a cO tank because I might buy one for Christmas
no
Pump
So, out of the 30 videos I’ve watched on pump guns, it seems like the best one is the Umarex NXG APX.
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.
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
The crosman F4 is still the best bet for your hard earned $. 100 fps no problem. Cheers..
It looks just like my Remington Woodsmaster!! Awesome 💯👍
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.
Good review!! Do a review on the Benjamin Ironhide.22 sometime.
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?
I thought on the box it said up to 1000 ft using allied pellets
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.
Mine is leaking air when trigger is prest
I pumped mine up to 18 and that did close to 1000 fps for me
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
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!
Nice review.I like the crosman summit ranger better.just my preference tho.
1000 is the model number. It's a lower quality gun than the pot metal receiver 2100 Classic.
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
That’s why I got one … for that speed baby
I have this gun bc i don't have alot of money would this gun still bc good for hunting sequels
Yes, not past 20-25yds.
I’m sure shooting it in the windy weather probably effected the distance
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.
After 8 pumps it's stiff
How many feet with 3 pumps?
Subbed, for telling the truth 👍🏻
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...!!!
What’s the serial number
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
Spray a little wd40 down the barrel. Gives you about another 200 fps
this looks like northern arizona specifically near ashfork
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.
Thank you so much for this vid
Great for dealing with rats and is accurate with bbs at 25 yards
I'll use my 1377 with a stock.
How’s it holding up today?
Did it come with the scope?
Might can get it downwind with aluminum hollow points
Great video bro.!
Appreciate it!
I have it I think the scope is kinda drifting
the directions on mine say 3-8 pumps
Mr 12 pumps , and no more , didn't even cross his mind . 😂
Go back to Walmart and tell them to give your money back
Kills snakes too, I pump mine 15 times an it does great
Don't do it man. Pump it up to the recommend amount. I blew the internal chamber and it leaks air like crazy now.
Can it kill rabbits
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.
U have to back up when I’m shoot😑
Did it break later?
14 joule good for hunting 🤔?
Why do they lie? We’ll take it back if we find out....so...?!?
