 Alright guys the DPMS-SBR from Crossman is finally here Super excited. This has been probably one of the most hotly anticipated guns this year announced a shot show Of course a lot of very cool interesting features gonna make this gun a hell of a lot of fun for the backyard plinker out there Let's check it out in a little bit more detail. So starting at the front of the DPMS-SBR We have kind of a faux muzzle brake just to add to the look there and then rolling back into the handguard guys You'll notice that the gun honestly looks like it is full metal, although this is a glass-bedded polymer So it's very strong very resilient, but it is not metal now That's gonna help with the weight this gun's about six and a half pounds And I'll be honest with you guys any heavier in this thing wouldn't be as much fun to shoot as it is and would probably Kill a lot of that recoil because this gun does have blowback. So moving to the handguard guys We do have a quad rail system. You can see there we have rails on all four sides there Gun does come with a foregrip here, which is actually really convenient Of course you can adjust it on the Picatinny rail here if you like But really like it, you know, you got a couple places you can grip the gun comfortably with it So nice there, of course you could take it off and replace it with something else if you so desire But you have room for lights lasers optics, whatever the heck you want Got a lot of kind of room to play with this gun and customize it and make it your own which I love So moving up top guys We do have a standard front and rear flip-up sight these aren't spring-loaded So you do have to flip them up and down by hand But a good height to them should co-witness with a lot of red dots really nicely the front sight totally Unadjustable and the rear sight is windage adjustable only now You do have two aperture sizes here just like most standard AR sight sets You do have a finer aperture here in the back and that flips down revealing your larger aperture Really easy to work with quite honestly not my favorite set of sights here after using them a little bit But certainly good enough to get you going so talking about the controls on the gun pretty much everything With the exception of the forward assist functions like a real AR M4 variant Which is really cool guys, you know for being that polymer frame not actually full metal This gun has the real feel of the real steel thing. So Very cool gun. So obviously we have our magazine release now. You'll notice the magazine does not drop free You do actually have to pull it out. That's all right. I mean not a big deal We do have a charging handle that does actually cock the gun So that isn't very necessary and you will notice dust cover flips open there If we had a mag in it guys, this would actually lock back so you can see That the bolt set actually moves. All right, and that's where your blowbacks coming from It's that internal movement giving you that real feel when you shoot it Which is really unique and flipping it around to the other side guys Of course, we do have our bolt release or bolt catch whatever you prefer to call it here So you can just you know slap that in when you throw a new mag in and you are gonna have that bolt forward and ready to Shoot right away and of course our selector switch So we have it on safe here now semi auto and then full auto all the way to the back And yes, you guys heard me right full auto the magazines hold 25 rounds and you can dump them as fast as you want Bad ass and rounding it out at the back guys, of course a six-position adjustable buttstock Kind of unique in the way this one adjusts here We have this little tab right here that you are gonna go ahead press in and then you can slide it forward and back And you can feel it detent lock into position But cool thing about this this does come all the way off it overall feels really good keeps a nice short profile You're talking about going from about 27 inches to about 30 and a half inches So this will accommodate, you know, your junior shooters already grown adults as well Not gonna be a problem for folks of all shapes and sizes So one of the other really cool features of the DPM SSBR is your ability to break it down just like the real thing So in order to do that first things first, we're gonna remove the magazine make sure it's clear Alright all good now we're gonna decock it if you leave it cocked everything's under spring tension inside You don't want to do that. So simply pull the trigger and we are good to go now So put it back on safe. So you are gonna notice two pins right here guys I need a little bit of an Allen key to help me along here But we're just gonna push these in as far as we can and then I'm just gonna take an Allen key and give them a little bit extra Just to help me get them out All right, so we can actually fully remove the front one now normally on your real ars This is gonna typically have some kind of detent right here holding it in place So be aware that that is gonna come out all the way and then our rear one is actually held in with that detent So now that we have it apart So we have our upper and lower receivers here, obviously we could put the lower down You're not really gonna ever need the lower for anything Maybe if you change out a grip or the buttstock and it does look like you can do both I can actually verify that you can replace the grip if you so choose There are a couple springs in there so something to be aware of but as far as the upper goes This is gonna be great for clearing a jam. All right, so everything comes out of this just like the real deal You pull that out and then simply pull the charging handle out and everything inside Kind of slides back and you can see we got a nice seal there for our blowback mechanism. It looks like and This guy is retained inside of there and you can kind of get to the barrel really easily here So if you did need to clear a jam obviously you're gonna put a rod in from the muzzle end and push that bb out Something to that effect a really not gonna be necessary to take it down and break it apart Unless you do have a jam or something like that. All right guys So now we are gonna get everything put back together properly here And we are gonna go ahead and show you guys how to load up co2 and bbs into the magazines So the magazines on the dpms sbr got a lot of weight to them That's gonna give you a lot of that real feel here But a few tips and tricks here when you're loading them pay attention all right They printed some words on the magazine for a reason so you see guys here It says open so you're gonna take that and press up this whole cover comes off and you will notice a couple things number one You have an Allen key included and this kind of sets right in to the magazine and stays there So this is really nice. So we are gonna take our co2 first. Let me get these screws backed out So we can actually get them in got some crossman co2 here We are just gonna drop them in nice and easy the next thing you're gonna notice and this one is really important guys are right here Okay, it says first that means you got to pierce the I guess the left-hand co2 cartridge first Okay, so we are gonna do that if you pierce the right one first guys It is all gonna leak out so it's gonna be a wasted cartridge. So follow the instructions. All right So you guys just heard it Pierce. We're good to go there Now we are gonna go ahead and do the right one now The cool thing about this guys is that you can run this gun on just one co2 cartridge if you want it to awesome feature there as Well, so now that we have our co2 loaded in we're just gonna replace our Allen key there Pop the cover back on and now we're gonna load BBs. So now that we have co2 in the magazine We're gonna go ahead and load up some BBs now Guys one of my biggest pet peeves with any co2 gun is when the follower doesn't have something to retain it All right, so upon initial inspection when I got this gun. I was not happy. Okay My thumb was getting chewed up and then I realized that Crossman included a speed loader This is huge. All right. So, you know, not a lot of guns come with this But in terms of the operation of the speed loader This one's pretty unique and gonna be very helpful in saving your guys's thumbs from getting ripped up So it's gonna come just like this you take this tab here You press it over and your feeder is gonna pop up what that's also gonna do is allow you to open the back door there for the Speed loader so we can actually put BBs in it. I've got some air venturi steels in here You just go ahead and pour them in guys So you'll notice that we have this kind of contraption on the end here What this does is actually allows us to pull our follower back So we simply slide this guy in here and he's gonna drop down and you'll notice now our feeder For the speed loader is lined up directly with the feed hole on the magazine So we're just gonna rock it forward and press and you guys can see BBs going into the magazine. All right guys. So once you get all of them loaded, we'll stop it there That's good enough, but 25 rounds, you know, the speed loader is gonna come in handy a lot guys These aren't perfect, you know, they do get jammed up sometimes But certainly better than holding this thing back with your finger and trying to just drop BBs in there So big ups to Crossman great addition there and now we are gonna head out to the range do some chronograph work We are gonna obviously test the gun for accuracy semi auto only full auto is just gonna be a spray and pray kind of deal And then we are gonna take a full shot count on both semi and full auto for you guys Let's see what happens. Let's get out there. All right guys So it dawns on me that maybe not everybody is familiar with how an AR 15 or m4 platform firearm works Because the DPM s functions basically the same way So in terms of what you would do when you are ready to shoot this guy, you have BBs in the mag You have co2 in the mag You're gonna load the magazine into the bottom make sure it locked into place. You're not able to pull it out Okay, next thing you're gonna go ahead and do is pull back the charging handle Okay, so you're gonna make sure you get in on that pin there pull it all the way back and release Very easy to do you pull that back and you are ready to go All right, so now we're gonna take it off safe now either into semi automatic or full automatic I'm gonna run it in full just so you see real quick All right now what you'll notice here. You notice how it just stopped right a fresh co2 in this gun That is because this functions exactly like the real thing. All right The bolt has actually caught open and you have your bolt catch here popped out a little bit So what we're gonna do we're gonna change out our mags I'm gonna pull that mag out put a fresh one with more BBs in there pop it in now I don't have to rack that charging handle again I can but it's a lot easier if you just pop that bolt catch right like that and then you're back in the game and ready to shoot Simple as that guys. All right guys. So before we take a look at these accuracy results We're gonna do full auto, but honestly guys It's a bit of a crapshoot when you start running this thing with the blowback full auto It just kind of sprays BBs everywhere. It's a lot of fun But that's not a real test of what this guns capable of accuracy why so we're gonna stick to semi auto Starting with the dust devils are fast as BB of course as they are the lightest 470 feet per second or so 10 shots in about a four and a half inch group not very good But eight of those ten in two inches which is not too bad at all could have certainly been me But still two inches for eight of ten not terrible moving to smart shots, which are our slowest BB 330 feet per second or so they are certainly the heaviest though keep that in mind All ten shots in about three inches and then you got nine out of ten in an inch and a half down here So not too bad certainly improving accuracy wise and then our steel BBs right at about 400 feet per second all ten in an inch In three quarters guys Very very good accuracy. We are gonna now go ahead take our steel BBs these air venturi BBs Go ahead and do shot counts on both semi auto and full auto give you guys an idea of how many shots You're gonna get per your two CO2 cartridges. Let's check it out All right guys so with steel BBs shot count numbers looking at about seven mags a hundred and seventy five shots a piece This represents our semi auto target here and our full auto target here Now I will say the full auto target when we were done with that seventh mag It was out of CO2 totally done Whereas we still had a little bit left in the semi auto mag here But it was falling way off the paper so we decided to call it You could definitely feel that that kickback that blowback get weak right around 125 to 150 somewhere in that fifth or sixth magazine Just so you guys know we're taking about one shot a second and it's about 80 degrees here on their indoor range So something to keep in mind, but a lot of shots guys a hundred and fifty plus out of the DPM SS BR very good All right guys, so the DPM SS BR obviously this gun's a ton of fun We put like 2,000 rounds through testing it here. I can't put this thing down This is a lot of fun and having the ability to go full auto is absolutely fantastic. I really think Crossman nailed it on this gun You know with the blowback and everything the gun has for us function flawlessly guys And that is saying a lot for a sub two hundred dollar CO2 gun Especially with all the features that this one has Personally, I'd like to see a different sight set on here. I'd probably go ahead and mount a red dot or replace the open sights I'm just not a big fan of not fully adjustable sight sets and the front post site just doesn't agree with my eyes for some reason But certainly good enough to get you shooting right out of the box I think this speed loader was absolutely genius You know having something that pulls back the follow around the mags for you So you don't have to burn up your thumbs and everything is a big one And I think Crossman did quite well with that you get yourself some steel BBs You know those are gonna be most accurate for you probably but the dust doubles the smart shots out there That's gonna allow you to get that real steel feel for training purposes Or if you're looking to familiarize someone who is maybe not familiar with an AR type of platform This is gonna be a really good option to get them familiar with the functions that controls and even to some extent that feel with that blowback action So the Crossman D PMS is definitely a winner in my book guys Definitely when you should check out if you're looking to have some fun this summer with a CO2 BB gun Don't forget to check it out next time you are on pyramid air comm for the insider I'm Tyler Patner as always don't forget to like comment and subscribe. We'll see you guys at the next one
