Crossman??? Isn't that the company that sells those cheap "soft air" bb pistols at Big-5? I'd like to say if a brand new car comes out with a price of 5,000, its probally a peice of crap. There is a limit to how much one can save money on with out cutting corners and degrading the product. Though if this is what you're expecting and it fits your purpose, then its a good deal.
