CrosmanPFAM9B CO2-Powered Full Auto Blowback BB Air Pistol

This thing is beautiful and quality. Weighs the same as a Barreta. Shoots nicely—VERY little kick-back. Shoots in automatic and is oh so fun!!! 🤯 Bought a laser that attached to it nicely and I need to sight that still.My only complaint is that magazine. The plasticPiece you use ur thumb to pull the spring down to load the BBS is ROUGH on ur thumb nail. I load the BBS at the bottom of the magazineAs opposed to the top (maybe everyone does?) I keep it lubed and this thing is a BLAST.Who doesn’t love AUTOMATIC? 🔥

Well built Pistol that is 90% metal. It has a louder than expected report. The accuracy is good semi and somewhat good full auto. It feels nice in the hand. I put some white marker on the front sight as it comes black. Rear sight has a white dot under it which is useless, going to try and remove it. What makes this pistol great is the full auto ability. It is amazingly addictive and keeps you wanting more. Unfortunately the magazine only holds 29-30 bbs and they go very fast. The co2 cylinder will give you about 3 good magazines before it starts to drop off on full auto. I would suggest to replace the co2 before shooting more. Loading is tedious, but I am still having good luck with the provided loader. I am not to sure if it will last much longer. If it jams don't keep pressing the plunger down to force the bbs in or you will definitely break it. Short gentle pushes on the plunger seem to work best. If it does not want to dispense bbs remove it and give it a shake upside down and sideways. Be careful of the loading port so it does not open and you get a bb avalanche all over the ground. Only use steel bbs (not copper plated either)!!!! If you don't it will jam. I suggest buying a spare mag or 2 if you can afford it otherwise you will spend more time loading than shooting. This gets 5 stars from me because it has an absolute cool factor for a bb pistol. Everyone that shoots this falls in love with it instantly. You get that I wanna do it again and again feeling. Last word is lube the tips of co2 canisters with pellgun oil every other time and buy some silicone spray for the mag spring and action and I believe you will be very happy with this investment for years to come.

first 3 shots before zeroing right THREW THE SAME HOLE AT 20 FEET. I’ve used the 9mm Beretta my whole life. Marine Corps, Police & OMG the weight & feel is exactly the same.I got this to start training my ten year old son. I can’t imagine a better first pistol before a real handgun. The action is Amazing. The slide back over the ejection port so good it even makes the pistol climb on rapid fire. I’ve never been more impressed.It was shooting a little low but dead center so to zero iron sites just filed/sanded down the tip so itll will bring the shots up then you have to paint it white with finger nail polish. if you don’t know how to zero iron sites, google it. Tons of videosIt is a nightmare to load, and they really should supply a speed loader but you’re handy, you can make one of your own. Took of a sheet of tin and filtered it with a pair, Kleins and tin snips and put a wrench on it to push the BBs through. Without an assistant loader, you’re gonna wanna throw this in the woods

If you'd like to understand where I'm coming from, here's a quick background on me: I'm a machine enthusiast who has not only been a fan of air guns, firearms, cars and similar machinery, but I am a huge fan of high-quality craftsmanship and that is the #1 thing I look for in the stuff that intrigues me. I am good with my hands and have rebuilt engines, restored many cars and dozens of pinball machines, arcade games and similar things, and can make or build almost anything. Basically what I am telling you is that I know when something is designed well and when it is not. So with that said, here's my take on the Crosman PFAM9B:The design and build quality of the bb gun itself is excellent. All the moving parts - slide, trigger, hammer, etc - are very nicely designed and constructed and they work well together with minimal slop or play which makes for a nice, solid-feeling pistol. The thing is heavily constructed, mostly from metal, and after firing a few dozen rounds from it, in both semi and full-auto modes, I find that I love the way it feels when it fires. Full-auto mode delivers a big punch, spewing the 20 or so bb's down-range in what seems to be less than a second. It's quite impressive, feels solid and you can't beat the feeling of that thing shaking in your hands as it does its thing. It's awesome!The CO2 cartridge did not last long. Just long enough to blast one mag of bb's in single mode, plus one mag of them in full-auto. After that, the CO2 was empty. Seems like a lot of CO2 for not a lot of shots, unlike the similar Tanfoglio Witness 1911, which I also own, that fires around twice as many bb's on a single CO2.The finish on the PFAM9B is beautiful and the gun feels like the real thing, but since I don't own the real dealio, I can't do a one-to-one comparison.If you were going to use this for self-defense it might be a good choice, however, I can't speak to how long the CO2 would last if it were already pierced and sitting on a shelf for who-knows-how-long until you needed to dump a mag of bb's into a bad guy's face, though at full CO2 it seems this gun could seriously mess someone's face up. There are much better alternatives for bullet-less self defense, however.And now the biggest, and perhaps only, problem with this otherwise fine bb gun, and that is the design of the magazine. Or more accurately, the design of the plug that you have to screw in and out every time you change CO2 canisters. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to put a metal Allen key plug inside a threaded PLASTIC plug meant to be torqued down hard onto a CO2 canister must have been an idiot or drunk that day. The problem is that after you put the canister in and then torque down the plug with the large Allen key, it takes VERY LITTLE EFFORT to spin the metal Allen plug around inside the outer threaded plastic plug and BOOM! it's ruined. Good luck getting a second CO2 canister in THAT magazine. It then takes even less effort to spin it around (by the way, it's NOT supposed to spin around at all). So once that happened, on the very first CO2 canister, I couldn't get the plug out again and of course the empty CO2 canister was stuck in the mag and the gun was useless (I had not 2nd mag). The outer plastic part of the plug has two holes in it, I assume because they knew this was an issue as those holes are there to help unscrew it out of the mag, there's no other purpose for them (see attached pic). So I got crafty with an old fork, bent it up and poked two of the prongs into the holes and turned that whilst turning the Allen key and got the thing out. What a drag! Maybe it was my fault for thinking it took more effort to pierce the canister, but even if that were the case, to design this in such a way that if you over-torque it you end up ruining a $30 mag, well, that's horrendously poor design. Unless it was designed this way on purpose, but I doubt that.Anyways, great bb gun and I do love it and will try to figure out a way to fix this problem. If I could, I'd just machine my own replacement plug, but I'll probably need to buy a different brand of mags for this gun. Overall, I do recommend it, just be very careful to not over-tighten that plug. Oh, and be sure you rack the slide after you put in a new CO2, otherwise the gun acts like it's out of gas and won't fire. Be safe!

Fun little bb pistol, works great on rapid fire!

The overall gun is cool but it's almost not worth it because it is so hard to load it. There is NO easy way. The spring is tight and does not lock down so you can load the very precise tiny hole.

Spring broke or moved out of place inside the trigger, now the trigger wont reset. Im guessing i got 200 shots out of it before it died. buy at your own risk.
