Crosman Airsoft Low Impact Pistols Leaders In The Air Gun Industry

By Jack Neil


The Crosman Corporation is recognized around the world as a leader among producers of entry-level weapons in the air gun industry. It is a major designer, producer and marketer of Crosman airsoft rifles and pistols as well as pellet and BB weapons (rifles and pistols). It also produces copperhead ammunition, high quality Benjamin Sheridan pellet rifles and ammunition, crossbows and precision optics. The firm is based in New York State, employs over 300 people and markets its products globally.

The firm has more than 300 employees and is based at East Bloomfield, New York. Its products are marketed globally. The firm has long standing strengths in the pneumatic and carbon dioxide (CO2) powered segments.

Air powered weapons allow sports shooters to sharpen and refine their shooting skills at minimum cost. These weapons may also be used for pest control and hunting small game (like fowl, birds and rabbits). Air powered weapons produce little noise and are effective over only a short range. These features mean that the weapons may, under special conditions, be used with care in urban zones where the use of conventional firearms is not permitted.

Many modern models of air rifles, both pellet and BB, are powered by small canisters (or powerlets) of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. These rifles project their pellet or BB by releasing gas every time the rifle is fired. These weapons are popular, millions of units having been sold globally. However, they do suffer degraded performance since the pellet or BB loses velocity as the gas canister empties and loses pressure.

Airguns are usually divided into two categories, namely, pellet guns and BB guns. In general, the most important distinction between the two is that pellet guns are made at larger calibers. Crosman produces both types. Both are sold at relatively low prices totalling tens of dollars, rather than hundreds of dollars, as in the case of conventional weapons.

In August 1990, the company was acquired by Pexco Holdings, Inc.. At that time, Crosman reconfirmed its strategy to remain focused on entry-level weapons. It also indicated plans to accelerate the upgrade of its production equipment and facilities and broaden its penetration of the international market.

By contrast, BB guns are mostly available in the smaller . 177 calibre. They are used to propel metal balls made of steel, copper or lead as well as plastic BBs if a safer less harmful option is desired. BB guns are typically used by shooters for close range target practice.

To sum up, Crosman offers formidable products in every main segment of the air gun marketOver the past decade, the firm has advanced several growth initiatives. For example, in 2001, the firm entered a joint venture with Procaps and formed Diablo Marketing to supply markers, ammunition and related products to the growing paintball market. This led to the launch of the Game Face Paintball brand during 2002 for the joint venture products. Additionally during 2002, the firm launched its range of Crosman airsoft pistols, mainly for target shooting by recreational enthusiasts.
