The Crosman AK1 is a select‑fire CO₂‑powered BB rifle built with realistic AK‑style ergonomics and modern tactical features. Designed for recreational range use, tactical training, and backyard plinking where legal, the AK1 combines authentic handling, adjustable stock ergonomics, and multi‑shot convenience for an engaging shooting experience.
The AK1 propels steel BBs at up to ~430 feet per second (FPS) depending on BB weight and conditions. Crosman+1
In full‑auto the AK1 achieves a very high cyclic rate; the platform is commonly quoted at ~1400 rounds per minute in burst (practical sustained fire is limited by magazine capacity). The rifle ships with a removable 28‑round (drop‑out) magazine for rapid follow‑up shots. Crosman+1
The AK1 runs on dual 12‑gram CO₂ cartridges housed in the magazine system, providing strong, consistent power for semi‑ and full‑automatic operation. Pyramyd Air
The AK1 features realistic AK styling with a tactical twist — adjustable/folding buttstock, AR‑compatible stock tube options, and an AK‑compatible pistol grip to suit different user preferences and fitment needs.
A top Picatinny rail and multiple M‑LOK/Picatinny sections let you mount optics, red dots, lights, or lasers. The rear sight is adjustable/removable for optics, and the front sight is fixed for fast target acquisition.
The rifle balances polymer body panels with metal internal parts for durability while keeping overall weight manageable for field use and extended plinking sessions.
