The Crosman Pumpmaster 760, or Crosman 760 Pumpmaster, is an American-made multi-pump pneumatic air gun that is manufactured for target shooting, plinking, and small pest control. The Crosman 760 Pumpmaster is a BB gun with more than 16 million copies sold. It has a caliber of .177 and can shoot up to 645 fps for BBs and 615 for Pellets. Pellets are loaded into a 5-shot clip, while BBs have an 18-shot magazine, which is fed from the 200-shot reservoir. It comes standard with a fiber optic front sight, but can accommodate a scope on the 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) dovetail rail on top of the receiver. The rear sight is a notch sight and is adjustable for elevation using a 5-rail elevator piece.

Hunting

This gun may be used for hunting small pests, up to small game. The latest 760 Pumpmaster is not rifled, thus inconsistently accurate and can hit a target at ranges of up to 20 yards. Propelling a pellet at 600ft/s, this gun is able to effectively dispatch small game such as rat or starling at ranges of up to 10-15 yards if you can hit them at the right place.
