Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Crosman R1 Fallen Patriots Blowback CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle is single-action only, requiring the charging handle to be pulled back before firing. The trigger is short and relatively light, as expected from an AR-type trigger action. The excitement comes when switching to full auto mode, where a single pull and hold of the trigger rapidly empties the 25-round magazine.

Accuracy: In our velocity test for the Crosman R1 Fallen Patriots Blowback CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle, we shot five 4.5mm Steel BBs through our chronograph and averaged 389 fps. Crosman claims a max fps of 430, which is achievable in warmer conditions. During our test at room temperature (around 20°C/70°F) with two new CO2 cartridges, we achieved this average. For accuracy, we fired 10 rounds in semi-auto and then the rest in full-auto. Using iron pop-up sights, we achieved almost all shots within a 1-inch Bulls-eye, demonstrating the rifle's accuracy and good centering out of the box. In full auto, the grouping expanded to around 2+ inches and placed a bit lower on the target, which is expected due to the blowback action.

Build Quality: The Crosman R1 Fallen Patriots Blowback CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle is well-made, with a solid feel and a weight of 6 pounds without accessories. It features a lot of metal both inside and out, though the top and bottom receivers are plastic. Key components like the internals, magazine, buffer tube, charging handle, selector switch, magazine release, bolt release, trigger, and barrel are all metal.

Realism: The Crosman R1 Fallen Patriots Blowback CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle closely resembles a real CO2 Blowback AR/M4-styled Airgun. It can be disassembled like the real steel version, with blowback action providing recoil, a true single-action trigger, and full auto capability. Most working parts function like those of a real AR/M4, except for the forward assist, which is molded into the receiver.

Pros:

• Attractive color scheme.
• Highly realistic M4/AR 4.5mm BB Rifle with full blowback operation.
• Good weight and feel.
• Most parts function like the real steel version.
• Dual CO2 full metal drop-out magazine.
• Adjustable and customizable AR butt stock.
• Includes iron pop-up sights and rails for additional accessories.
• Removable flash hider with standard threading.

Cons:

• A plastic receiver, but the overall construction is solid.
• No red dot is included with this version.

Comments:

The Crosman R1 Fallen Patriots Blowback CO2 Full Auto BB Rifle is similar to the Standard Version Crosman R1 but with cosmetic color scheme changes that enhance its appearance. It's the best-looking Crosman AR Series Full Auto BB Gun so far. The iron sights give it a classic AR look, but a red dot sight can easily be added for those who prefer it.
