This video from Civilian Tactical tests the penetration capabilities of the Crosman Legacy 1000 pellet rifle, firing at 1125 FPS, against a human body simulation using ballistics gel. The host, demonstrating tactical gear from Armored Republic, analyzes the results based on FBI penetration standards, concluding the rifle is suitable for small game but would cause significant discomfort rather than immediate lethality to a human. The test was conducted at Guns N Gear Indoor Shooting Range.

Quick Summary

The Crosman Legacy 1000 pellet rifle, tested at 1125 FPS, penetrated approximately 4.5 inches into ballistics gel, causing minimal tissue damage. While effective for small game, it would be 'extremely uncomfortable' for a human, falling short of the FBI's 12-inch lethality penetration standard.
