Things I liked:This thing is fun! Yes, you'll burn through ammo pretty quick but you only live once. The blowback technology for a gun this inexpensive is quite impressive.
Things I would have changed:Fiber-optic sights would help because the gun is so short. Once sighted in, it is accurate at fairly close range but for 100 bucks

Things I would have changed:Fiber-optic sights would help because the gun is so short. Once sighted in, it is accurate at fairly close range but for 100 bucks I think it's a great deal.
What others should know:It comes with 4 clips so you probably don't really need to order more. Also the instructions are in Inuit, so for help print out the ones on the website

Things I liked:This is the second Nightstalker I've purchased (don't leave one in a corner where your dog can knock it down a flight of stairs - it WILL render it useless..lol) Anyway, the Nightstalker is a much better deal for a lot less money than the Beretta CX-4 which it copies. The Beretta belt magazine is a real PITA and you can load a lot more ammo in the N/S 12-round mags a lot quicker, especially with a speedloader. Your chances of a misfire are also decreased with the N/S. It's just a fun gun, available for less than half the price of the Beretta. I made the mistake of buying a CX-4 once, so I can make an honest comparison.
Things I would have changed:Loading the clip into the gun is difficult at times due to the tight fit. You'll occasionally invent brand new words while tryiing to do this - but it can be done. Also, don't believe 'em about the number of shots from an airsource cartridge. Best I've been able to get is around 70-90 good shots. Also, the sighting is pretty bad, so a scope is almost mandatory.
What others should know:Buy the Walther PS22 scope and a rail to mount it on the N/S. You'll probably want a speedloader too, since this one is so much fun to shoot that you're going to go thru a lot of pellets.

Things I liked:So far I just love this thing! It hits much harder than I expected, and the accuracy is certainly more than acceptable for the kind of shooting I am doing (15 yards). While I would never put the Nightstalker in the category of Target Shooting, even just using the open sights I have been able to place every single shot exactly where I want it. Rapid fire shooting is extra fun. What more do I want?
Things I would have changed:The butt cap fit is a little loose, but it stays put. Loading the pellets is cumbersome, but I cannot really say that it is any more so than loading any of my .22 cal. firearms with bullets. It would be nice to have either a round counter, or better yet an automatic magazine ejector for when the ammunition is exhausted.
What others should know:The 88 gram CO 2 canister is great if you want to do a lot of shooting, but the manual warns about leaving the gun for an extended time with an active canister in place (what exactly is "extended"?). If you have not started early, its hard to empty the canister in one sitting (I ran out of ammo after about 200 rounds, and still had a fair amount of CO 2 left over). Is there some way Crosman could engineer a removable and reusable partially filled CO 2 canister? That would be a big help.

Things I would have changed:better sights, the sights are not that great. more ammo capacity, you go through 12 shots way too quick. It says up to 350 shots from an airsource? send me some of those!!....I only got about 200 real good shots, and about 250 total before it started to sputter
What others should know:Get plenty of extra magazines, and get the speedloader. get a nice red dot or scope.

What others should know:88 gm cart's are very expensive way to shoot...especially since it is recommended to "shoot them out" every time. I would not purchase again. Red dot sight improves accuracy greatly (especially for old eyes.)

What others should know:This gun is just about all plastic. This means that it requires a little more tender care than your pumpmaster! Be sure to follow the instructions and it'll work fine. It shoots harder than a pneumatic airgun I have that is rated at 600fps. The nightstalker blew through plastic bottles at 15 yards when the pneumatic only pierced one side (with the pellet staying trapped inside the bottle). This gun shoots so fast that you can literally blow the bottles away. My sons thought it was the best gun we shot. Buy it, follow the instructions, remember it's plastic.

Things I liked:This is a follow up to my review on the Nightstalker TK. I've put over 1000 rounds through this gun now and have a good idea now of what it's like. What I like: Cool-looking. FUN. Inexpensive. It is reasonably accurate, and it's great for putting lots of rounds down range. Definitely get the TK kit if you can. I found the bipod useful in sighting in the gun and as a stand. The Picatinny rails with kit are a nice feature as is the red dot. The flash light is pretty cool, but mostly for appearance/fun.
Things I would have changed:The physics of CO2 (:-)). This gun wants to be rapid fired, but after about 2-3 clips of rapid fire, you need to let it warm back up again since the CO2 cools off a lot and the pressure drops. In the kit, the red-dot sight is nice, but has a very narrow field of view. More clear instructions. I found that the magazine actually comes out pretty easily if you make sure the cover is pushed ALL the way forward. If it is even *slightly* back, the magazine doesn't want to come out.
What others should know:I wonder if the people whose Nightstalkers broke tried too hard to unjam it. I've only had one jamming incident in 1000+ rounds and it was pretty easy to clear. Make sure you push the two tabs in front of the magazine cover down and push forward. This moves the barrel forward and the jammed pellet and magazine comes out really easily. If you try to pry out a jammed magazine without moving the barrel forward, you will likely break the indexing mechanism. With a fresh cylinder, it does hit reasonably hard for a CO2 gun. I've been shooting in relatively cool temperatures so far (50-65F) and I get about 160-180 good shots per 88g cylinder. After that, the pressure starts dropping off. Beyond 220 shots, you're pretty much wasting pellets. I upgraded the red-dot to a Walther PS22 and found it to be a much better sight and a great upgrade. I've been using Crosman Premier Domed (light) and Premier Hollow Point pellets with very few problems so far.

Things I would have changed:NOTHING,for a $100.00 what do you want ? All these self professed air gun experts putting this gun down are morons.Mine is gone thru alot and hasn't skipped a beat. Meanwhile the weeny winers are complaining that theirs broke. Well,I guess your not as knowledgeable about airguns as you thought you where ! I can buy 2 of these for the price of a Storm. Give Me A Break.
What others should know:Buy one,you will like it. Fun to shoot ,and once you get use to it ,it's very accurate. I was hitting the emblem on a beer can the size of a quarter 50' away consistently. One word of advice though. Use thicker Skirted pellets .I used Crosman Wad cutters .

The Gun Itself is Very Ergonomic, the sights had to be adjusted a bit, since mine were to the right a bit. Gave me nice 1inch grouping at 15 feet.

The Gun Itself is Very Ergonomic, the sights had to be adjusted a bit, since mine were to the right a bit. Gave me nice 1inch grouping at 15 feet. I didnt have many problems with pellets, but I was getting 1 or 2 misfires per clip, So I seated the pellets deeper and it was fine
Things I would have changed:This thing needs a ammo counter and something to Pop out the clip when its finished. Id pay a extra 50 bucks for these features. I also couldnt figure out how to slide the clip cover back, but you press Inward (where the ramp thingy is) and then pull back.
What others should know:Seat the Pellets properly and you wont have a problem. I used Crosman Domed Premiers (the brown box type).

I have written Crosman with no success. I have other Crosman products that are years old and good. This gun is a failure and needs to be discontinued or vastly improved.

What others should know:My Nightstalker didn't make it through one single airsource cylinder before breaking. I am a very careful airgunner, I collect and protect my rifles, and this piece of $#%&@#* only lasted for about 40 shots! WAY TO GO, CROSMAN!
In my opinion, Umarex had the CX4 "Beretta" Storm in the production process, and Crosman decided to beat them to the US market with this cheap knockoff... I'm really disappointed. I own practically everything Crosman has sold, and this is the worst CO2 product I have seen from them.
I wish that I had waited to read other peoples' experiences before I wasted my money.

Things I would have changed:the rotary clip on mine kept jammimg, eventually stopped advancing and working. and it was hardly used. If Crossman cud develope a better bullet feed it wud my fav gun. Now Its stuck on a small tropical island and I gave it to my kids to play with as a non operational toy. The cost to ship it back to calif and the repairs and bring it back wud cost mor than the gun itself.
What others should know:While it worked it was great fun, I may buy another, I may hav screwed it up myself by aggressively trying to unjam it

Things I would have changed:Less picky about what pellets you feed it, maybe an available barrel extention to increase accuracy.
What others should know:This gun is based on the Beretta CX-4 storm, a carbine relying on beretta's previous pistol designs, firing pistol ammunition (9mm, S&W.40, ect) and accepting beretta M9 magazines. THE BODY IS MOSTLY POLYMER ON THE REAL BERETTA; low metal content is not a bad thing as long as it is used appropriately.

Things I liked:This is too much fun... Think of it as the AK-47 of pellet guns. Mine just arrived today and my father and I shot a 250 round tin of pellets in the first hour. We were giggling like a couple of 10-year-olds (he's 65 and I'm 40). The sights needed adjusting, but we didn't stop shooting long enough to do it.

Things I would have changed:It's almost a crime that it doesn't run on refillable paintball CO2 tanks.
What others should know:Buy a LOT of pellets. And CO2. We got about 250 shots to one cylinder. It's not very loud -- about like an air powered staple gun.

Things I would have changed:Make the breech bigger. It can be a pain to get a clip in or out!
What others should know:Airsource power does NOT deliver the number of shots advertised on the box! 192 shots seems to be the average I am getting before I start to notice a drop in power. After that, you can shoot about 3 full clips before it runs out and fails to cock itself.
