The Dark Story of America’s Air Gun Empire: The Crosman Factory
Step inside the Fairport, New York Factory — the cathedral of pneumatics where engineers once built rifles out of steel and walnut to arm the American backyard, before the accountants turned them into plastic blisters. This documentary follows the accidental rise of the Crosman Seed Company, a failing business that invented a high-powered weapon to save its customers from pests, the dominance of the legendary Model 760 Pumpmaster, and the slow, agonizing betrayal of the "Power without Powder" philosophy by corporate cost-cutting.
