2. Operating the Safety
Keep the airsoft gun in the “ON SAFE” position until you are ready to shoot. Then turn the
safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
A. To Put the airsoft gun “ON SAFE:”
• Locate the safety directly behind the trigger.
• Push the safety from the left side all the way in (Fig. 2). The
safety is not “ON SAFE” unless it is pushed all the way in and
the RED ring around the left side of the safety is NOT showing.
Like all mechanical devices, a airsoft gun safety can fail. Even when
the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the airsoft
gun safely. NEVER point the airsoft gun at any person. NEVER point
the airsoft gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
B. To Take the airsoft gun “OFF SAFE”:
• Push the safety from the right side until it is flush with the trigger
guard. When you can see the RED ring around the left side of the
safety, the airgun is “OFF SAFE” and can be fired.
3. Loading and Unloading Plastic BBs
NOTE: For optimum performance Crosman recommends using only
Crosman or GameFace Brand BBs.
A. Filling and installing the shot shell (magazine)
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A) and pointed in a
SAFE DIRECTION.
Load the Speedloader (not supplied with the gun)
• Push down the spring rod and lock in place.
• Open the door and fill with 6mm airsoft BBs.
• Close the door and release the spring rod.
Fill the Shot Shells
• Align the tip of the loaded speedloader with the hole in the shot shell (magazine).
• Push the spring rod to load pellets into the magazine. Repeat this process until the magazine is full.
Load the Shot Shell into the Gun
• Push the loading port release button toward the back of the gun. This will open the door.
• Insert the shot shell, nose first, into the loading chamber and lock in place. (Fig. 3)
• Close the loading port door.
Use 6 mm plastic BBs only in this airsoft gun. Use of any other ammunition can cause injury to
you or damage to the airsoft gun.
B. Unloading Plastic BBs
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A).
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Slide the loading port release button toward the back of the gun. This will open the door and eject the shot
shell.
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION, take “OFF SAFE” and fire the gun in a safe direction until no more
BBs fire.
• Put the airsoft gun back “ON SAFE”.
Never assume that because the airsoft gun no longer fires a BB and/or the loading cham-
ber is removed, that a BB is not lodged in the barrel. Always treat the airsoft gun as though it is loaded and
with the same respect you would a firearm.
4. Pumping Your Airsoft Rifle
• Put the airsoft gun “ON SAFE” (See Step 2A).
• Always hold the forearm firmly when you pump it to prevent possible injury. Never pump your airsoft gun more
than once. Over-pumping can cause major damage to your airsoft gun.
• Holding the forearm firmly, pull it all the way back. Do not twist the forearm while pumping. Use a straight
stroke to prevent breakage (Fig. 4). Return the fore-
arm to the original closed position with a smooth
stroke. Be sure to hold the forearm firmly as you
close it.
NOTE: You must follow the procedure for pumping and
firing your airsoft gun each time you shoot.
5. Aiming Safely
• You and others with you should always wear eye
protection.
• Always aim your airsoft rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the
area around the target is clear, pump the airsoft rifle (See Step 4), take “OFF SAFE” (See Step 2.2) and squeeze
the trigger to fire. (Fig. 5)
• 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. If the plastic BBs should happen to hit a hard surface, DO NOT reuse those
plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your airsoft rifle.
• Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at targets, which are
attached to a safe backstop. Your backstop should be checked for wear before
and after each use. Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged,
or if a ricochet occurs.
• Your airsoft rifle is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and
outdoor use. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what
you will hit if you miss the target, or if the plastic BB ricochets.
6. Firing Safely
• Make sure the airsoft rifle is “ON SAFE” (See Step 2.1).
• Point the airsoft rifle in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Follow section 4 on pumping the airsoft gun.
• After reading section 9 on aiming and firing safely, take the airsoft gun “OFF SAFE” and pull the trigger.
• Repeat these steps until you are no longer firing plastic BBs.
• Put the airsoft gun back “ON SAFE”.
• Remove the magazine.
7. Maintaining Your Airsoft Rifle
• Tampering with the airsoft rifle or attempts to change the airsoft rifle in any way may make it unsafe to use,
cause injury particularly to the eye, and will void the warranty.

• If you drop your airsoft rifle, 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 worn out or broken parts. Call Customer Service
at Crosman for assistance before using your airsoft rifle again.
8. Reviewing Safety
• Do not ever point the airsoft rifle at any person. Do not ever point the airsoft rifle at anything you do not intend
to shoot.
• Always treat the airsoft rifle as though it is loaded and with the same respect you would a firearm.
• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airsoft rifle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the airsoft rifle “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always check to see if the airsoft rifle is “ON SAFE” and unloaded when getting it from another person or from
storage.
• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
• If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses make sure you wear eye protection over your
regular glasses.
• Use 6 mm plastic BBs only.
• 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. If the plastic BBs should happen to hit a hard surface, DO
NOT reuse those plastic BBs because they could cause possible damage to your airsoft rifle.
• Replace the backstop if it becomes worn. Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the back-
stop fail.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airsoft rifle. Call Customer Service at Crosman Corporation
for repair.
• Do not put the airsoft rifle away loaded. Make sure ALL of the plastic BBs are unloaded from the airsoft rifle
(See Step 3.2).
• Always store this airsoft rifle in a secure location.
