7. Aiming And Firing SAFely
A. Firing SAFely
You and others with you should always wear eye protection designed for airsoft to protect your •
eyes.
Always point your airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION. •
Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The plastic BBs may bounce off or •
ricochet and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit.
DO NOT re-use plastic BBs because they could possibly cause damage to your airsoft gun. •
Your airsoft gun is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Al- •
ways remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.
When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, load and •
charge the airsoft gun following sections 3 and 4. Take the airsoft gun “OFF SAFE”(section 2A)
aim and pull the trigger to fire.
B. AdjuSting the SightS
reAr Sight
Your rear sight has four peep sight settings. •
To select your preference, simply turn the
rear sight left or right until it clicks into the
desired position.
The airoft gun is correctly aimed when the •
front sight blade is positioned exactly in the
center of the notch or peep of the rear sight. The top of the front
sight blade should be even with the top of the notch or peep in
the rear sight. The bulls-eye should appear to rest on the top of
the front sight .
To adjust for windage (left or right) loosen the sight screw on
the back of the rear sight. Do not remove the screw, loosen just
enough for the sight to have a little play in it.
Turn the windage screw on the right side of the sight counter- •
clockwise to move the point of impact to the left. Turn the
windage screw clockwise to move the point of impact to the right.
When the windage adjustment is complete tighten the rear sight screw. •
8. mAintAining your AirSoFt gun
DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR AIRSOFT GUN. Tampering with the airsoft gun or attempts to •
change the airsoft gun in any way may make it unsafe to use, may cause serious injury or death
and will void the warranty.
If you drop your airsoft gun, visually check to see that it works properly before you use it again. If •
anything seems changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull, this may mean parts are worn out
or broken. Call Customer Service at Crosman for assistance before using your airsoft gun again.

2A) and is UNLOADED.

This is a high precision airsoft rifle. Prevent dust and dirt from getting into the magazine to help •
maintain the performance of your airsoft rifle.
If the efficiency of BB feeding seems to decrease, remove all the BBs from the magazine and •
spray silicone oil for 1 to 2 seconds. (Note that the hop-up operation may become unstable for a
while after using silicone oil).
An odor may be generated from the motor initially from a new airsoft gun, this is normal. •
If the airsoft gun does not fire in semi-auto mode, follow safe shooting rules and turn the gun to •
full auto mode for 5 to 10 shots before returning to semi-auto mode.
Change the battery if firing cycle becomes slow. •
Give the airsoft gun a rest for 5 to 10 minutes after about 500 BBs have been fired. •
