Crosman Phantom .177 Review- Penetration Test

We take a quick look at the Crosman Phantom, .177 pellet rifle. A storm is hanging out on the fringes, but we had plenty of sunshine for a review and some sample shots with various ammo. Cabela's hunting pellet, Gamo PBA, and RWS HyperMAX are featured. For some penetration testing, a piece of 7/8" poplar is used. We finish with some crosscuts to expose the pellet path through the wood. For the price, the Crosman Phantom is a deal. This makes for a perfect small game air rifle for the survivalist as well as a fun plinker and target airgun.

Great video. fully detailed, and ive never seen a better penetration test in other videos. ONE QUESTION! :) Do you guys recommend a bipod on the crosman phantom? if so which one!

[usframe]

@MrSpecdelta if I was going to shoot from a bench mainly, I might consider a bipod, but we generally shoot in amny conditions, and it is just more weight and gear management

That was a pretty cool cross section, I'm surprised at those alloy pellets. I think the lead would be better for hunting, they should have better foot pounds of energy and the tumble and break up should do more damage internally.

@mrwiggles2 also would use lead to hunt

really liked your video, it really shows the ability of a pellet gun.

[MrSpecdelta]

@usframe Hmm good point. Thank you for the advice and remarkable video! May i suggest a :"How to Zero in a Scope" Video :D NOT MANY well explained videos on youtube

[mikak3607]

the cabella would have done more damage inside meat!

you can tell by that way more distinct and sharper "Crack" sound when you switch from the standard lead pellet to the PBA golds that there is an increased velocity. The lead was a more softer and lighter "Crack" sound.

Just so you know, the rail for the scope is called a "weaver rail", the "Dove tail" is a common style of the rear open sight. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just being nit picky, Otherwise great video, keep em up!
