My initial review of the Crosman C362, a .22 caliber multi-pump bolt action pellet rifle delivering up to 875 FPS. This is a fun and useful air rifle, price is around $100 and it does not require any Co2. It is suitable for small game hunting, pest removal, target practice, and plinking fun. It is about 36.6 inches in length, adjustable peep/open rear sight, manual trigger safety. Works well with Gamo Luxor pointed copper coated pellets. Many vital supplies listed in the text description box below the video, enjoy! :D
When I got tired of 'pumping' my Crossman I switched to a Gamo Whisper 'break barrel'. It pushes the pellets @ about 1000 fps and is quite accurate @ 20-35 yds. =))
The problem with springers is that they can be difficult to really shoot accurately and you cannot vary the power for your shooting situation. People always forget you do not always need the full 8 or 10 pumps for plinking and most small pests depending on the gun. I only own one springer ( a 1960's CZ youth rifle) with no plans to own any others. I have multiple pumpers from the 1930's to guns made the last few years, and they are always my favorite shooters, with the exception being my 1965 Crosman 180 which is in my top 5 airguns for sure out of my 30+. I would not trade my 1979 Sheridan blue streak for anything in the world, but would trade the world to get it back if I could / had to. Theres nothing I shoot as well or as consistently. Just last week I was splitting pellets on an axe bit at 15yds, with iron sights because I don't do scopes. It's just an accurate consistent gun with a very crisp predictable trigger pull.
It is a newer model. Another reviewer pointed out that it's design is compatible with various other parts from crosman, such as an extended steel breach with scope mount, extended bolt lever, a different barrel, and whatever else I'm not sure. But sort of like the Crosman 1300 series pistols where you can modify them easily with different parts.
Thanks, I'm still torn between the Crosman pistol, and the Schofield replica, co2 gun,, suppose I'll just have to get both,, ha ha,, but which one first, ?? 🤣,,
Cool gun. I agree about the exercise, but you gotta be careful. I shot for awhile Friday, now my shoulder is all jacked up. I guess I'm not used to using the 💪
Nice groups bro! I have a gamo little brake barrel .177. it is so fun to shoot. That looks like an awesome .22. sounded like that owl in your neck of the woods approved also. 🤘
Even with non-lead pellets, the 362 doesn't propel pellets at 875 fps. I've done many modifications to mine and used my chronograph. Firing 14.3 grain Crosman Premier H.P.s, pumping it up 12 times, it only reached an average of 722 fps. That would give it 16.54 foot-pounds of energy, a far more important number. Don't believe the hype!
That is a shame, but 722 FPS would still make it my most powerful air gun. I wonder if anyone has confronted Crosman on this, or what they would say in response.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives. That 722 average is after several upgrades and pumping it up 12 times. That's 4 more than Crosman recommends. I have more money in upgrades than the original cost of the 362. The "top" end of that rifle is the same as the Crosman 13xx and 22xx series of pistols. I have done performance upgrades to both for many years. My biggest dislike is the loud clapping sound made when pumping the rifle. If one were hunting, the first shot better count. Everything within a half-mile is going to hear that gun being pumped up. I do find it very accurate out to about 20-30 yards.
it's coz crosman measures their fps with alloy pellets (lead free) like 9 grain .22 pellet lol, with which you can now achieve up to 875 depending on pellet aerodynamics :)
That’s a Crosman 1322 that grew up into adulthood 😂 I need PAL here in Canada 🇨🇦 for anything over 500 fps.. I don’t have chrony but would like to know speed of Crosman 1322,1377 and 2240..For plinking I just use my faithful Daisy RR,it’s simple and it’s fun 🤩..Break Barrel are Phantom and Optimus,after 500 pellets each,spring is stabilized and I have no complaints and even pellets got expensive…
Yea, I like the .22 over the .177. Velocity isn’t as high, but they’re fastest then used to be. Side note: I had an howl giving me “ what for” today also.
It does not hit the velocities claimed, but they do have some decent power. If you want better accuracy you should try various pellets to see what it prefers most, and I would stay away from Gamo pellets which very few guns tend to like and are overpriced all things considered. Most of their pellets are gimmicky.
Yes, I heard people were getting 710 FPS rather than Crosman's advertsied 875. Crosman should correct their number or maybe make a video showing how they figured theirs. Accuracy is a wonderful thing, I'm definitely open to any recommendations out there for the optimum pellets for this.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives The manufacturers always use alloy pellets and even stretch those numbers. Most of my guns shoot Crosman primer hollow points ( CPHP for short )very well, but you may want to try a pellet sampler from pyramid air. I'm willing to bet you should be able to keep your shots inside 1" at 15yds with CPHP'S , if you flip the rear sight over to the peep and do you'r part. Tighter if you got mounts or a Crosman steel breech and used a scope. I don't own the 362 because I prefer wood and steel and dislike the looks of the 362 ( when someone figures out how to use a 2260 stock I'll get one ) But I've had enough experience with the trigger mechanism it uses and Crosmans barrels to know what to expect from it.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives It doesn't really matter, they just happen to be a go-to standard pellet that's often a perfect plinking pellet in many guns. They also have the premier domes, but they cost a little more just because sales keep the CPHP prices down. I occasionally take pests here and there but most of my shooting is plinking small objects at 15-25yds with iron sights, sometimes punching paper to sight in. CPHP's are all I shoot in my .22 airguns and often what I use in my .177's if it's not the standard pointed .177 premiers. If you're just going to plink bigger stuff like cans or a 1gal jug like that which is practically the broad side of a barn for me ( at the distance I have to work with in my backyard) then you could likely shoot whatever and not miss much. With the more accuracy concerned plinking I do it makes a difference, but I'm no competitive target shooter either so the CPHP'S are my go-to most of the time unless I have a gun that just doesn't like them.
@@TylerSnyder305 He might be used to shooting BB guns or something, which sort of require larger targets if you're shooting at longer distance. I heard him mention something about having a BB gun.
Good looking gun brother. I enjoyed the vid. People underestimate a pellet gun. One of the three guns I carry at work is a pellet gun. I use it for emergency euthanasia of small mammals. It covers everything up to coyotes. It’s a .22 caliber, I believe it’s made by crossman.
I hang my targets. It makes plinking much more enjoyable. Seeing the target jump every time it's hit and hearing the pellet strike is more fun than simply shooting at stationary targets. Heavy plastic bottles are the best. Can't wait to get outside again. Just thought I'd share...
I just ordered a 1322 as a "truck gun" for small game or if i need to put something that has been hit out of its misery (I still also carry a canik tp9sf, but thats overkill for certain situations)
Thanks, bro! For sure, the accuracy, the ability to take small varmints, the savings of being a pump, and the compatibility with accessories for the 2240 and friends are what I love.
It's suprising that those Crossman guns fire BB's given that they will damage the rifled barrels.I had a pump up 760 in .177 and it could fire BB's although I only ever used lead pellets in mine.
I want one, but I live in Illinois where, if an air gun is over .18 caliber and over 700fps, you can't get it unless you order it through an FFL and treat it just like a firearm purchase (background check, 3 day wait).
So basically, they are encouraging you to get a real firearm, because it is just as much hassle as a "powerful" air gun. That is how dumb politicians are, they encourage the opposite of their goal through unintended consequences while at the same time inconveniencing law abiding hobbyists.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives Even more crazy: I can't get this air gun, which produces like 13 ft/lbs or muzzle energy, shipped to my house, but I can get a Seneca Dragon Claw .50 cal (about 230 ft/lbs) sent to my house because it's under 700fps. Every year there are a few downstate legislators who try to get the airgun stuff repealed, but it always rejected by the Chicago-area reps. That's the problem when a lot of the state is conservative, but a few big cities control the show.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! Move to Texas and don't worry about that anymore Lol. And you can carry your real firearms open or concealed, with no license, as long as you're not a felon or a resident at the nervous hospital.
No way the 362 gets 875 fps with a reliable pellet. PA says 850 with alloy and 700 with lead. Based on actual performance with a chrono it fails to reach 700 fps at 8 pumps.
This just shows how badly our materialistic society has degenerated, it's like there is no truth in advertising (875 was the number Crosman gave) anymore.
You can also try out "Dieseling" with some of the Air Rifles to increase velocity or just for fun. Use products like 3 in 1 oil, WD-40, vicks vaporub, or petroleum jelly. Air guns are very practical and enjoyable. Hopefully you get a few extra FPS.
muy interesante el video, a mi me gustaría esta armita en calibre 4.5 o .177 , creo que rendiría mejor, sobre todo para la caza de palomas y ardillas, otra cosa, seria interesante que se le pudiera colocar un visor de punto rojo o una mira telescópica

Ah yeah, those Gamo rifles are true hunters, I will try one eventually. They should make a carbine, I like that this Crosman is fairly short.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, man! Greetings and best wishes from Switzerland!
Thanks, my friend!
Dude....bin watching your vids for years!!! Now pellet rifles...you are the man...i love my 362..you deff want a steel breach on that baby...
Thank, bro! Yeah, I have been reading about the steel breech upgrade :]
Yes sir, a steel breech and a Buck-Rail can on the end. It will last you a lifetime then.
Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas brother. I love your videos their freaking outstanding 👍 👍 I wanna say thank you for all the information you share.
Thanks for your support, my friend!
Love my cheapo 760 pumpmaster. Shoots a remarkably straight bb.
The 760 is small, great for kids, but man I think it's an awesome little rifle, shoots great with plenty of power and shoots bb's too.
Nice rifle by Crossman ,and that must be one of their newer air rifles that I haven't seen yet, and I like what I'm seeing from that air rifle. ⚔️🎱⚔️
Yessir, only a few reviews on it so far, I definitely like mine.

That is a good dilemma to have :] I have 2 Crosmans thus far, they seem to make good stuff!
So jealous.
Fantastic review as always.

.177 vs .22 always sparks a debate on the Air Gun forums : -) I think the only answer is to own several air guns in both calibres.
@@engineeredlifeform 😎👍💥
Nice! Very useful for pest control.
I'm sure that thing could easily take squirrels and rabbits out to 30 yards, maybe more if you could hit them. Might need a scope though.
I like multi pump because of the power variance.
love it, only way to go.
That's a fine gun and pectoral hipertrofy machine

Nice, I’m a big fan of the multi pump pellet guns 🤙
Very convenient, can do a few less pumps for closer range plinking.

Great shooting and awesome pellet rifle!
Thanks, I know you love the air guns, too!
@@WeAllJuggleKnives Welcome, bro and so true 👍 Have seen my video?
Crosman did a great job with this pneumatic pump 362, it looks very accurate out of the box, great video.

Beautiful place. For shooting air rifles 👍
Glad you like!
Looks fun 👍
For sure, thanks for watching!
Any shooting is fun, especially when you can find inexpensive ammo!
Definitely, I like the air guns for relatively quiet and inexpensive shooting.
It's suprising that those Crossman guns fire BB's given that they will damage the rifled barrels.I had a pump up 760 in .177 and it could fire BB's although I only ever used lead pellets in mine.
I think the ones that fire both sometimes don't have a rifled barrel, I know they have a revolver that fires both, but it's smoothbore.
J you won’t be happy till you get both like me…Smile always!
Any excuse to buy more toys is good with me :]
Do they come in .177 cal as well?I like .177 for target shooting and .22 for pest control.
That would be cool, but they do not have it in .177 yet.
Nope it’s in 22 only but I’ve like to have one in .177

Is breech made of plactics and no place to mount a scope?
The breech is plastic, but a steel breech is available. It can take a scope mount.

It can mount a red dot or laser, using the Crosman Dovetail Adaptors.
Good video
Thanks, bro!
Can you mount a scope on it?
Yes, Crosman sells mounts that clamp to the barrel and it can then take Dovetail compatible sights.
Unfortunately these gave an issue breaking the hammer pin.
Is it really able too reach 875fps?
Some people have measured it, and it is closer to 800 usually, depending on the pellets.
Is it hard to pump?
No, it's pretty easy to pump, the last 2 pumps are slightly harder, but no problem.
Gamo all day
I am glad you like the Gamo pellets. I have a Gamo revolver video coming very soon!
just watching you pump makes me tired, ill stick to one stroke break barrels.
There is a nice single stroke .22 pellet version of the Springfield M1A rifle I'm definitely considering.
You better give adidas a shout out too!😬
