can someone put this in the category of "airsoft manufacturers"?

Crosman does NOT manufacture airsoft weapons. They rebrand other manufactures such as UTG, Double Eagle, CYMA. They don't even have a factory of their own for airsoft.

Proposed merge of Powerlet into Crosman

I do not see Powerlet as being independently notable from Crosman, paintball doesn't make sense as their canisters aren't all brand names. Thoughts? Star Mississippi 20:43, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 17:41, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discontinued Models

I am TRYING to document the discontinued models, but the Lords Of Wikipedia are giving me an awful time. I might be lucky and get the Crosman 150 documented within my lifetime. 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:24 (talk) 00:33, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are insufficient scholarly references to airguns in spite of their interest to engineers. There are plenty of references to airguns in scholarly articles related to their hazardous nature:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=10&q=crosman+airguns&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5

And patents related to Crosman:

But not enough for a non expert to create articles about, for example, the various historical models produced by Crosman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:40 (talk) 22:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the sake of providing possible useful info: Rudolf Merz is popularly credited with many of the novel mechanisms that Crosman employed, but reliable references to him are extremely scarce. Only a couple of patents are found by searching. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:40 (talk) 18:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
