Crosman Pulse R76 Review - General

I'm going to do a review of my friend's Crosman Pulse R76 because why not? [b]Crosman Pulse R76 Review[/b] [img]http://sadpanda.us/images/1845251-TX8AGE4.jpg[/img] The Crosman Pulse R76 is probably Crosman's first entry into entry-level AEGs dominated by CYMA, JG, and DBoys. Its design is very similar, if not almost identical, to Tokyo Marui AK Beta "Spetsnaz" models. Cost: $100 [b]First Impressions[/b] Blegh. Everything about this feels plasticly and cheap. The gun includes a Cheapo Charger, Plastic Top-Rail for Optics, 8.4v Ni-Mh Stick Battery, and the gun itself. [b]Externals[/b] The externals are again, plasticly and cheap. The exterior finish is the same to clearsoft AEGs, with most parts plastic except for the trigger unit, dust cover, and the rear sight. It features a removable fixed buttstock that would break if you handle it in the wrong way. The charging handle, when pulled, exposes a hop up dial. However it "creeps" forward in an unsatisfying way. Its probably best to color it gold or give it some ridiculous florescent camouflage pattern. The button that holds down the dustcover also sucks too, and the dust cover might eject and fly off. The pistol grip has a grippy rubbery feel to it, and that feels nice. Although one upside to its plastic construction is that it only weighs 3 lbs, 3 oz loaded. [b]Internals[/b] The internals are surprisingly robust, thanks to its TM-Style Version 3 gear box with metal gears. The selector switch kind of sucks. However for 2 years this AK Beta hasn't broke down or had any catastrophic failure. The trigger actually feels smooth and crisp for an AEG. I'm not sure if its because of the Version 3 gearbox, but it feels smoother than JG's M16 gearbox trigger. The hop-up is actually not terrible, but whatever. Don't expect it to be some Galaxy Mp5K supergun. The gun shoots at 300-310 FPS with .2 g BBs. [b]Sights[/b] The sights are of your standard AK-47 style sights with adjustable elevation. They hit their mark well but durability is poor, expect to have the rear sight fall off from time to time and have the front sight have its protective ears break. [b]Upgradability[/b] This gun in theory should accept all TM-spec AK upgrades, but why bother? Any upgrades to it is similar to polishing a turd. The Crosman Pulse R76 does accept your standard AK Magazines, and it feeds without flaws. CYMA Mags, JG Mags, Drum Mags, and such will fit and feed. The battery and the magazine are probably the best things about this gun. [b]Conclusion[/b] This is the gun that is purchased by clueless relatives looking for gifts for their family, and you can purchase literally anything that will outperform this. A Lancer Tactical will have better internals for $10 less, a Javelin AK will have better externals for the same price, and for $50 more you can get yourself a metal bodied, durable, and excellent CYMA that will be miles ahead of anything else.

Please tell me this is a joke.

I dunno what's with the dumb ratings, he took a crap gun to a fair review that futher states that the gun is indeed, crap.

Honestly, I want one sprayed just like that, but with internals built for a stupidly high RoF and pair with with a c-mag. I'd use it for CQB so I could just like roll and flip around whilst chucking Glitter Bs around corners and such c:

I have found out that this is identical to the DE AK Beta AEG. Still doesn't change the fact that this sucks.
