Bloomfield, NY –   – Crosman Corporation is introducing several new key break barrel technologies and features at SHOT 2018 that will deliver significantly upgraded performance in speed, power, sound suppression, and accuracy across a wide spectrum of airguns under the Crosman and Benjamin brands and available to view at Crosman’s SHOT show booth, #13940.

The next-generation Nitro Piston Elite is a proprietary, enhanced next-generation gas piston that delivers 15% more speed, 35% more power, and 2x the accuracy of standard gas pistons.   Nitro Piston Elite also feature a reduced cocking force and vastly reduce friction and vibration for a smooth shoot every time. The Nitro Piston Elite will be standard in all break barrels above a $99 MSRP, including the new Benjamin Vaporizer™ and Benjamin IronHide™

The SBD (Silencing Barrel Device) system offers three levels of sound suppression – SBD Silver (Quiet), SBD Gold (Quieter), and SBD Platinum (Quietest).  SBD technology works by creating an effective system to contain and dissipate the expansion of gas through proprietary baffle designs and high-volume chambers. New guns featuring enhanced SBD technology include the Crosman Diamondback™, which features a contemporary pistol-grip synthetic stock as well as SBD Gold.

All break barrels feature rifled steel barrels and the adjustable, two-stage Clean Break Trigger™.

In addition to the technology advancements above, America’s favorite airguns now have America’s best warranty. Any Crosman or Benjamin break barrel rifle purchased on or after November 15, 2017 now has a 5-year limited warranty.

Crosman’s new warranty is unmatched in the industry and redefines what consumers should expect from airgun performance and durability. The 5-year warranty is possible because of Crosman’s commitment to the customer service and the highest quality standards.

”We are excited for shooters to experience a step change in airgun power and performance,” said Sonia Nau, Product Manager. “The new lineup of Crosman and Benjamin Break Barrels deliver unsurpassed speed, power, and sound performance with the quality and value that consumers demand, backed up by our industry-leading customer service team and 5-year warranty.”
