Crosman 2100 Classic 4,5 mm Air Rifle

For me, the pump is awesome. I searched for a long time for a PCA under 500 PLN, so I picked the C2100, not because it comes with a (crappy) brown stock—you can stick on heat-shrink film—it's a bit harder; it still falls short of the Chinese ones, not for the mechanical iron sights—I personally even liked them—but for the perfectly made barrel thread and super accuracy. At 50m, all 10s with nine pumps. With seven pumps, it has the power of a store-bought b3. I highly recommend this Crosman.

A very accurate air rifle for the price. Since the mount rail is plastic, I recommend a lighter scope, up to about 400g. Each additional pump gets a bit harder, but up to seven pumps is still quite easy. The weight is low, which I consider an advantage. The air rifle is perfect for beginner shooters, but I also recommend it for more experienced ones.

Greetings to the Torment of Neighbors, Snowman Killers, beer cans, cardboard boxes, and whatever else ends up in the sights :-). Just not any animals, because then I'll find you and shoot you with dum-dum salt shot from the Beast, the Hatsan 5.5 mm, on your bare a*****. Alright, to the point. This is the second time I've bought an airgun on Militaria by... accident :-). Basically, I was passionately reading some airgun forum before going to sleep, the PCA/PCP/CO2 thread dragged on for several pages – I read it all and went to bed :-) Then I woke up at 2 a.m. (that happens sometimes), but when I can't fall asleep there's a simple trick... I pick up some >random stuff< to read and "accidentally" buy something out of hand< - Zero recoil, which means weak mounts will hold up - Frost doesn't affect it – unlike CO2 or springers - Pumping warms you up (especially the last "reps") – to actually get cold you'd have to go to the forest for half a day wearing just a shirt - It shoots both BBs and classic pellets. A nice gimmick. I mounted a "knocked-out-of-alignment collimator" because it's the only one I had handy. No time for fiddling with dials, but the grouping is still good – I can easily hit a 20x30 meter tin shed (if you hear the ricochet it means it hit). Tomorrow a lightweight Walther 4x32 mount arrives from Allegro, so we'll do some "serious testing". Cons – indeed, a few screws to tighten; I can't complain about the plastic – the weight doesn't magically disappear; most important is that the barrel is metal. Pumping – "the further, the tougher" – can't imagine a weak woman or a kid pushing it all the way to max, which is 12 pumps. But you know what you buy, I'm a big guy so I manage. Tomorrow, a detailed dive – dialing in, grouping, trigger feel etc. – that's what I like most with new tubes. Regards, SH

In my opinion it's a great solution for less demanding shooters. But you can't say it's not accurate at shorter distances. The build quality is satisfying. Recommended.

Great, well-made PCA air rifle.

Great PCA air rifle, extremely accurate with no recoil.

Another classic air rifle. Great for beginners and excellent for learning the basics. Perfect for getting started.

PCA, one of the best systems in my opinion, allows for very accurate shooting, no recoil, this is what this Crosman enables.

As with all Crosman products, it's solid. Accurate up to 30m, feels great in hand. PCA system is excellent, no recoil. Highly recommended.

Fulfills several features. 1) Accurate on target at 35 m, 2) no recoil or CO2 cartridge, 3) cheap for under 500 PLN. The best pellet for it so far is Crosman Premier Hollow Point 7.9. The barrel needs to be stabilized because it has some factory looseness. This is a necessary modification for great accuracy. With 10 pumps, the factory version has 189m/s and about 10J, measured by Chrono. You can get a maximum of 200m/s and 12J with Diabolo pellets. No chance for more. Lubrication of its parts is necessary. Good purchase.

Accurate, easy to use, and additionally cheap to run.

Average power, no recoil, good accuracy. Due to the large amount of plastic, it gives the impression of a toy. The BB magazine means you don't have to load a pellet for each shot, but you still have to pump and reload the bolt. Compared to a classic break-barrel air rifle, the number of steps before each shot is not really less. For these reasons, I returned the purchase. I ordered the Crosman Vintage with a gas spring, which completely satisfies me.

The pump is awesome for me. I searched for a long time for a PCA under 500 PLN, so I chose the C2100—not because of the color stock (brownish—you can apply heat-shrink film if you want), it’s harder, but it still lacks compared to Chinese models, not because of the iron sights (personally, they suited me), but for the perfectly made thread in the barrel and amazing accuracy. Up to 50m, all 10s on nine pumps. With seven pumps, it has the power of a shop-bought B3. I highly recommend this Crosman.

The air rifle is very powerful for its weight and overall impression. With my shooting experience, a beer can at 30m jumps without any problem. Also at 30m, a diabolo pellet goes 1cm deep into a pine board! – I always use 10 strokes. I bought one with a pump instead of CO2, as that effectively discourages kids from playing with this particular gun.

A rather strange front sight, but the sighting elements are OK. The air rifle is quite light although pumping after each shot requires some effort. Diabolo pellet accuracy is better than BBs. It looks like a toy, but like any air rifle, it requires caution and imagination.
