Crosman American Classic 1377: How many FPS per pump?

[@Ihavenofilter-12345]

Thanks for making this video. My whole life I wondered if pumping the heck out of my pellet gun actually makes a difference. It most certainly does. Great work.

[@bluesdawg8014]

I own the 1377, 4 pumps works really good for targets. I really like this pistol. I also bought the shoulder extension, helps with accuracy big time. Los Angeles

[@threestarsandasling]

Nice! I was actually wondering just the other day how much fps and how many pumps i'd need to play with my 1377 indoors without punching through anything. Thanks for posting!

[@casualairgunner7417]

Glad the info was useful! I do plan to make videos showing the ballistic effect per pump on these guns in the future too

[@peterbaugh51]

Please do. I have no crony but do have trajectory. Will comment. Guessing my fps is 580 with rws 8.3 gr.

[@gen-X-trader]

Outstanding video, I always love it when I come across one that I watch and actually learn something from. Good job man

I have both 1377 and 1322. I like to shoot into old hardback books to compare the penetration of various styles of pellets. Books are a very consistent testing medium for testing penetration. There are no knots or hard and soft layers like wood can have. I can count the pages to see how one pellet compares with another. The deepest penetrators in 22 that I have found are the .220 lead balls that a guy on EBay sells. I am pretty sure that he gets them from Ballistic Products in 8 pound jugs. Gamo sells .180 round lead balls for 22 air guns but these Crossmans can handle larger .220 balls for better accuracy. I don't know how they will shoot at distance yet but at 10 feet they shoot into one hole at the same point of aim as 14.3 pellets. I am still working on what is the best size ball to use in 177 Crossmans Thanks for the video.

I turned my stock 1377 into a beast by adding the 26" Marauder barrel and while I was at it I added the 1399 rifle stock and steal breach and a Pinty 3x9-32 AO scope. Now I have an awesome rifle to hunt with and the velocity (just guessing) is in the mid to upper 600 fps which is much, much faster than the stock pistol. I used to punch a hole in a can of corn at 20 meters and now the pellet goes completely through the can with Crosman pointed pellets.

[@uncle_spanky]

Yes, but you'll want to add the steel breech too. Even change the caliber if you wanted to just order both in the caliber you want.

[@viveviveka2651]

Paper for targets and for stopping pellets: you can find old books for a song, and even for free. Old encyclopedias, coffee table books, medical textbooks, and all kinds of other thick hardcover books...they make excellent backdrops and targets. You can attach targets to the covers, or just tear or cut out pages and attach them to the cover with tape, super glue, or glue sticks. You can find photos and figures in some books that make for interesting and varied targets.

[@elvistalk9365]

I've owned mine for about 10 years now and never opened the box. This year I had a family of skunks move in my back yard. I opened it placed a pellet in the chamber pumped it 15 times. One pellet one skunk!

[@LEELUNK-IS-A-HUNK]

killed it?

[@elvistalk9365]

Yes

[@LEELUNK-IS-A-HUNK]

@@elvistalk9365 DIDN'T KNOW IT COULD KILL A SKUNK WITH THEM LITTLE PELLETS

[@elvistalk9365]

Me either, but it's pretty accurate 25 to 30 yards before you have to compensate for drop.

[@XCougar85X]

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronfry5851]

Loving it keep up the good work❤🎉

[@JM10344]

Nice little bit of info at the end.

[@erikabbot1133]

For all ammo there is an optimal barrel length. To short and you dont use up all the propellant. too long a barrel will start to slow down the projectile because its used up all its propellant before leaving the barrel.

[@LEELUNK-IS-A-HUNK]

[@bobmalack481]

I do 8 pumps with the 1377 which I thought was too small of a caliber, but it was on sale. With fine steady of hand sighting I bump off invasive bird species Pidgeons, morning doves, and Grackles in this retirement community. I don't mess with the native birds of Arizona. Has plenty of punch for birds and small mammals/rodents. Robert at 69.

My 1377 24" barrel Steel Breech 1399 Stronger hammer spring 3 pc sear spring holder Stuffed piston It shoots over 600 @ ten pumps using full weight pellets and over 750 using half weight ones

[@bruceleetheblindswordsmann1375]

Bought this yesterday same one it's cool reminds me of an old webley temple I had years ago that went though 4 doors top pump pull back this crossman good long I have glock 17 dual ammo pellet bb s that cost more than this just cos of look got 3 crossman 177 airgun pellet s glock 17 dual ammo pellet s and bb s got mod parts coming for glock 17 pellet bb look cool once supt up plus xcp co2 air pistol the glock 17 dual ammo my favourite but crossman pump air saves keep putting co2 in glock 17 and xcp but all 3 are good got 3 combantoin trigger locks coming from abroad for all 3 good video upload 👍

[@Pjotr1982]

And more than 10 pumps?

[@johnnybbgunner2136]

Great video.

[@Pavel..S]

Хороший пистолет . Он и точный .

[@stickom]

Hi correct me if I am wrong, 6.4 Barracuda way less velocity than 4.3 Gamma Air stars... so here is hard question: I am indoor airsoft low velocity 5yard- target practice and need to "kill" the velocity if I switch to pallets/Crossman am classic... I tend to do one pump only, and use heavy 15grain pallet. Would that help? thank you very much.

[@joebotz1243]

Good job

[@syitiger9072]

You should get a 1322

[@Chronicrockstar]

1377 coming in few days

[@Raycorsica]

Good job👍 So, pump 8 times is good. 9 and 10... not necessary.

[@deepsender]

Does the gun function with just one pump? What is the FPS please?

[@JoeSyxpack]

I bought the 1377 and was so happy with it that I bought the 1322 as well. They're surprisingly powerful and accurate for such a small package. Out of the box the triggers suck, but that's an easy mod.

[@joebotz1243]

I'm about to buy a 1377 do you have any links or recommendations on how to modify the trigger?

[@JoeSyxpack]

@@joebotz1243 The mod I did was to simply replace the trigger spring with a lighter spring. I guess for safety reasons the factory spring is very stiff which makes the trigger very heavy. Changing it is simple enough. Here's a vid on how to access it that spring. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goScY5qmpq-gbKc I didn't buy that adjustable kit. I had a big bag of old machine springs and found a light one about the same size that works great. Made a huge difference. If you want to get crazy you can polish the sear but that's a more involved process with parts that are easy to lose. I wouldn't bother with that unless the trigger has creep. Just changing the spring will give you the biggest improvement, it's cheap and easy to do.

[@HaykAmirbekyanTKD]

try a hvauer projectile. Imagine throwing a rock thats too light. like a tiny piece of dust. it wont fo as fast or far as a medium sized rock. lighter isnt necessarily faster

[@peterbaugh51]

Please measure ballistics for fps. We can then guess our fps. Here are mine, 1377, 8 pumps, rws 8.3 grain. Scope sight 2" high at point blank. At 10 yrds, 1/4" low (of bullseye). At 20 yrds, 1/4" high. At 30 yrds, bullseye. Zeros are at 15 and 30 yards. 7/8" group at 30 yrds. Kills tree rats at 25 yards no problemo. Guessing fps is 560 - 590 ? Measure your 1377 and compare ballistics to mine. We should then get a good idea of my fps. Thanks for a very helpful video. Happy shootin.

[@owenthomas9863]

What does one pump do?

[@miteco1]

1 pump good for pellet wars but still better have eye protection.

[@AriKgn]

5.5 or 4.5 ?

[@kennethrisner8648]

i always wanted to get one of these but never did. back in the day they used to have retaining magnets in them so you could shoot bb's but i think the new ones dont

[@adalfdrippler460]

Will this kill iguanas

[@chrisfrerichs8360]

That’s what I want to know also. My guess is yes depending on # of pumps and distance.. .22 at minimum for iguanas is what I’ve heard?

[@kyleoden3015]

Yes it will

[@mister762...]

Yes

[@joebotz1243]

All day it'll kill rabbits squirrels and rats also

[@irishman3375]

@@joebotz1243 squirrels, thats what I'm hunting, they are a nuisance around here.

[@kaskorraky9473]

you fools agter 8 pumps , the pump has a pressure relief valve for safety reasons 😂😂, pump 100 times, and get nothing more than 8 equivalent

[@Chronicrockstar]

Throw some w40 in that hole and pump to max it sounds like gun -daisy 880

[@jaysonxxx6971]

Great video bro Im thinking of getting one of those for small pigeons control .

[@jeanleloux]

i don't know why people get the 1377 wen the 1322 gives u twice the power even tho it shoots a little slower and you can use it for hunting any small game , and if you want you can use lite pelets and it will shoot faster then the 1377 lolol speed isn't really the secret , momentum is a big part of the equasion ,, foot pounds or joules..the weight of the pelets is the secret.. and .22 pelets normalie weight twice of a .17 cal..
