I am about to get this gun but I have seen it in battle before. One time I was crossing a creek bed and was ambushed by two of these things. No one on my team was hit but it scared our pants off! Good gun my medium to close-range targets. A great gun for everyone!

i go this gun may 24th with a 1 year warrentay and it just broke yesterday augest 3rd. first of all YOU HAVE TO USE .20 GRAM bbs or the bbs will hop up.thenthe the sight fell off and then it stoped shooting yestazareday soo im hope i get a refund.

This gun is awesome, you can adjust the spin on it for use of lighter or heavy bb's on thoes windy days and to improve you're accuracy, and reloading is as simple as spinning a wheel. However, about a month after I bought this gun, it broke. That brought down my high respect for the crossman company, I thought they made top of the line guns, but now.....not so much

This gun is awesome it is very accurate and the battery holds a very long charge.

I use it for just with friends but overall a good weapon long rang, accurate, easy to load

By david673 from Memphis, Tennesse on 7/15/2008

this is the best gun ever it shoot ver accurate and very fast. Its a great primary gun for airsoft wars.

My friend has this gun, and when mine broke I used his. It preformed very well and had no jamming or shooting issues.

it is a awesome gun!

No body will mess with you

By Joe from New Jersey on 7/11/2008

Ok let's call this what it is first, an LPEG - Low Powered (Priced) Electric Gun. It's modeled after a modified Keckler & Koch G3. This is not a main gun for serious airsofting, skirmishes/ MilSim. Although, it would serve as a fair back up if your main battle rifle craps out. This is perhaps the best starter gun sold at Dick'sSporting Goods right now. Price wise it's closer to $50 than $100, it has a great rate of fire, easy to handle for a youngster (especially if you slap a hand grip on the lower rail) and it's relatively accurate to 50-75 feet. Further than that your foe may not know he was hit. I made the mistake of spending a few extra dollars and buying the DPMS Field Duty kit as my first airsoft weapon. After one month there is more glue, wire ties and electrical tape holding the included M4 together than original screws. It looks cool in the bubble package but doesn't take a beating at all. The R72 on the other hand, by the very nature of being a more compact weapon is going strong. I wish Crossman had included a top mounted Picatinny rail for the addition of optics. Optics, while not necessary for a CQB-CQC gun do add a coolness factor and a holo type sight would be perfect on this gun. That being said I will probably epoxy one on or use one of the forearm rails for a laser. My almost 5 year old son can even shoulder this gun and put plastic on a target 25 feet away. So kids to wrap it up, not for hard core airsoft warriors, no top optics mount, buy a real sling if yo want to keep it around your shoulder (not on the ground in a half dozen pieces), great ROF, looks good, lots o' fun and a great starter gun for under $70.

It is an alright gun but jammed after the first time i used it

Be carefull,it is durable but if you drop it a lot it might break because it has a plastic gearbox.Still it's the best gun i've ever used for the $$$.My brother has an expensive Mp-5
and can beat him with ease this gun.He gets mad cuz he paid $150 for his. *laugh*

inacurate

its a great gun its perfect velocity for me and its accurate,the one bad thing is i tried using .12g bb's and it jammed so i hate to take it apart so i reccomend using 20g bb's

I just got this gun and i had a blast today, played with some friends and the gun fired accuratly and well, the semi and full auto worked and the aiming was very good.

By Flint from Leawood, KS on 5/12/2008

this is really something. It hit my target everytime from around 50 feet with .12! When I got up close it ripped right through thick cardboard in about three shots. The battery has lasted two hours and counting (got it a couple of days ago)Only jammed once so far, but I just switched to full auto, then switched backed and it was fine. Hop up works great and it is our most accurate gun. It does not feel cheap in any way. It has atleast 310 fps with .12 pellets and clip holds 350.

awsome. but jams when you use .12g BBs, i recomend .20g not .25g or.12g

awesome the best, worth [$]

I bought this gun for my son to start out with and I got schooled real quick. I own an olympic gun and this one is almost as good if not just as good. Use heavy .2g BB's in brush and look out this tears through it. CQB no problem with the amount of BB's coming out. For Milsims this is my new CQB weapon of choice...

Awsome rate of fire with semi and full auto. This gun is great.

I use this gun in intense close quarter fighting w/ trenches and bunkers. This gun literally showers enemys with BB's. Your opponents will be scared of you when they hear you firing it. Sights are off, magazine is hard to put on.

This thing is a beast! Not only does the clip hold a lot of ammo, it lets out a roar when you unload on full-auto. It shots very far and accurate on semi-auto. Overall a very good gun for the price in all areas.

this is a good gun for beginers to practice with

Great gun shoots well and battery lasts forever. You might need to adjust the hop up at first but once its dialed in its great.

Do not get shot.

[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]

I use the gun on full auto since the semi auto isnt very good sometimes. I destroyed my friends because of its great accuracy velocity and rate of fire. Overall if your looking for a good starter AEG get this one.

[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]

Really accurate. Large magazine. Great gun!

[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]

best gun youll ever buy

[0 of 4 customers found this review helpful]

this product broke in 15 rounds. it jamed every 5 until it broke

this gun is good for stuff.

By Fred the junkie from Columbus, Ohio on 2/23/2008

Gun is great. Nothing wrong with it. If you want a very cheap gun or never had a gun get this gun. Great gun for the price and reliable.

Im new to airsoft and i think its great for backyard games good if your new not sure what pros think

[0 of 1 customers found this review helpful]

Everything is wrong with it, for the price you will pay to keep repairing this weapon. You might as well buy a Tokyo Mauri or a Classic Army.

i use to hurt soda cans. good for battles.

guns amazing but if you use .12 gram bb's they fly all over. with .20gram bb's its like a straight line of bb's. i suggest 20 grams

This gun is AMAZING on full auto

looks awesome and works really well. my personnal favorite and can be yours too. buy it. its worth the money!

This gun is amazing, it shoots about 20 bbs a second. It does not jam. And it also does semi automatic, the hop up system works great. So get this gun.

the gun is great, has a good weight n detachable stock, loading the battery is really really really really really hard

i used this gun for a day and the air compressor cant fire the bbs anymore plus at [$] jst pay 60 more and get the jg s system 460 fps and very accurate

this is a great gun for close(CQB) to medium range. my only problem with it was that the bottom weaver rail's upper screw fell out and i can't find a replacement. great for airsoft wars of all kind also there is no weaver rail on the top of the gun and not many claw mounts attach properly(the HK MP5 G3 Rifle Claw Mount is tho only one that i found that fits)

there is a sertan way to put in the battery
a veary fast rate of fire
will last you a long time

This gun was difficult to assemble. The thing that holds the battery in place falls off easy. The thing that holds the BBs broke, which meant you could not load BBs into the chamber. The strap broke off while I was playing. It it not very accurate. Whenever you shoot it the BBs will curve very far to the left which made it difficult to shoot at a target. Overall I WOULD NOT recommend bying this gun.

By Rice President Andre Zilch from Gaithersburg, Maryland on 2/6/2008

This is a great gun. Many pros, few cons. The battery holder is in a bad position and will slip out and is hard to put back in. Great middle-entry gun.

Gun was bad, Battery wouldnt stay lock into place, Battery wouldnt last more than ten minutes. I have two boys who both have the Pulse R70. Much better guns and cheaper. After two days took mine back to Dick's and got a Pulse R70, much better gun for the price. Dont waste your money on this one (R72), VERY DISAPOINTED

this gun is awsome

I just baught this gun today.. so far i love it... it is so awsome its fast to. [...]MUST BUY!!!!!!!!!!!

this gun is great [...]get 2 extra clips and youre loaded

This gun is very for kids, but if in a air soft match you might need to crank the bottom to shoot and that might put you in a disadvantage!! Other than that this gun is GREAT!!!!!!

its is a good full-auto for long range

this gun is pretty good
i bought it about...a little under a month ago
i accidentally wrecked the magazine a little bit
so it slides out after a few rounds... but i still love the gun
i would deffinatly buy it, just make sure to be careful with the magazine, so it says on

Nice, fairly accurate for an automatic.

it is kinda hard to reload the battery pack and it is way more powerful than 275 feet per second
it cut right through both sides of two cardboard boxes and on auto it makes a huge hole in it
it also has a high bb capacity like over four hundred bbs

Although not too accurate at long range it's still a good all around gun for the average player

this gun is accurate the bbs get through bushes so its great for wars in the woods. the velocity seems a lot more that 275 fps

This is a good gun. it works well and the only problem is loading the battery, but other than that its a good gun.

If you buy this gun it would be the best airsoft gun to buy. I use this gun to practice in my back yard and to battle friends. This gun is very powerful gun and when i say powerful it is. This gun is accurate. The only bad part about any airsoft gun is that shooting in the wind which is above 5 mph that it can blow as much as ten feet of corse. I would recommend this to anybody.

By Shoot the newbs. from Maryland on 1/6/2008

This guns not that bad. Great for recreational use. It double feeds on semi periodically so I keep it on full auto. I do wish the velocity was higher. Other than that it is a decent gun for the price.

awesome gun. get a laser sight. it makes it super accurate

I use the Crosman Pulse-R72 mostly as a training weapon -or- CQB tool. Ez to yield to my chest to eliminate shadows around corners. has a very soft sounding reload so no more clink clank. Rate of fire is perfect-seems a lil more faster than 275fps.
Did a little test on max damage:
notebook paper->yes
carboard->yes
plastic bag->yes
2-liter*w/o cap->yes w/cap->no
Pop can->yes

BtW: Not that it is a dis-like of mine. It just simply rests to close to the ejection port knob.(located above the left rail, and only some times does it get snagged. All n all it is a great weapon:Score 8 / 10

By jack attack from Syracuse, NY on 1/2/2008

this gun is great for beginners, and i highly recomend it to amatuer arsofters. the good thing about this gun is that it probobly has more fps than 280, and it still has kich from 100 feet away. the bad thing about this gun is that the battery is a pain in the neck to put back in after charging.

ps. use biodegradable pellets, there better quality and are cheaper than plastic krudy pellets, help save the environment one step at a time.

Great Gun Period. Both Semi and Auto are accurate.I was shooting a TV box and the BB's went half way through the box. Works really good with the BB's the gun comes with. They are .20 gram white heavy duty BB's.

The product is very good like it. Its high velcity rate of fire and features such as rails and the adujustable sight really comes in handy.
The only reason its given a 4 out of 5 is because the carrying sling is garbage it sometimes jams in semi-auto but switch to full auto fire off a couple and sewmi should unjam. But other than that it would haver recived a five

Ok, here are some great tips for using this gun. Use .12 grams for better area affect. Use ,20grams for longer range. Use .25 grams for better accuracy and sniping. Remember this is the best gun to buy!

My friend bought this as a first gun and he got ripped off! I actually go to Events(No such things as tournements in airsoft(if you think there are you are a noob!) The barrel is less than 4 inchs='s no accuarcy.

good 4 targets wars and every thing. dont shoot eyes.

the gun is gr8. i use it in my back yard. it hurts

By dead eye from Deerfield IL on 12/26/2007

This gun is the most incredable gun i have ever s shot. i have had one trouble with it but easy to fix here's what you HAVE TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE GUN:it only shoots if the main resevoir and ready chamber are loaded, you have to crank the wheel at least 20-25 times before you shoot(it loads the bbs into the gun. ovrall this is the best gun ever, it can shoot about 10 bbs in 2 seconds at the most so in one sqeeze it kindof comes out like a shotgun because it shoots so many!!!! it kills to get shot with it and its soooo accurate the hop up rocks BUY THIS GUN...........NOW!!!!!

By dead eye from Chicago IL on 12/26/2007

I loved this gun when i first shot it. it shot like 10 bbs per second and it was accurate and had great!! fps. the bad thing that is kind of a HUGE THING is that it jammed/ stopped working after about 2 minutes once I started using it.i'm looking in to it now but i think you better now how to repair guns if you buy this. the reason i gave it a 4/5 is because it was awsome before it broke but after it broke i'd give it a 1/5. dissapionting if this happens. i'd probably still recomned it only because it might be easy to fix i dont know.?!

this gun shoots dead accurate and powerfull

this gun is a great gun extremely accurate and very powerful

This gun is the perfect gun fow a guy who play on a small town team this is the gun i got my freind who has never played and he is a beast

on the first day i opened it, i did every thing the instructions said, including waiting 5 hours for the battery to charge -_-. well. first time i played for about 15 mins with a friend. worked fine. i switched to auto still fine. however, when i went back to semi then to auto again, it shot semi on auto..... i didnt know what was up. so i switched all the way down to safe then to auto again. still shot semi... so im not to sure what happned but something in there got messed up pretty bad. i plan on taking it to the store to return it tomorow. il probably exchange it or get a refund... then buy another airsoft gun but nicer beacuse i got about 70 dollars in christmas money.

By rookie from black mountain nc on 12/25/2007

just bought one for my son and i ended up taking his and giving him mine.. very sweet gun batter is a pain to in holder but besides that great go and hurts like a son of a gun i think it shoots harder the what it says..
