Crosman Nitro Piston® 2 redefines break-barrel air rifles with 15 percent more speed and 35 percent more power from up to 10 pounds less cocking force. Shoots 55 percent faster than coiled spring-powered airguns; double the effective hunting range of simple gas-piston guns. Patent-pending technologies minimize vibration and recoil. Engineered to be more efficient without adding weight. Tail Guides keep the piston centered to eliminate energy-robbing friction while Recoil Arrest reduces vibration and virtually eliminates secondary recoil. Two-stage Clean Break Trigger™ pulls smoothly and is fully adjustable for poundage and stage transition. New Benjamin Trail Series rifles are first to be remade with the Nitro Piston 2 system. Available in .177 and .22. The .22 shoots at up to 1,200 ft/s with 26 foot-pounds of energy. Available with hardwood or synthetic stock at a suggested $350; Realtree® Xtra camo finish $380. The .177 shoots up to 1,400 ft/s with 21 foot-pounds. Comes with synthetic stock and a suggested retail of $350. By the end of the year, nearly all Crosman premier break-barrels will be Nitro Piston 2 guns. Contact: Crosman Corporation, Dept. FFG, 7629 Routes 5 & 20, Bloomfield, NY 14469; (800) 724-7486; crosman.com

Federal Premium Trophy Copper Muzzleloader Bullet delivers 200-yard performance without the sabot. B.O.R. Lock MZ System harnesses the force of ignition to push a polymer cup attached to the bullet base onto raised bands along the bullet shank, expanding the diameter to engage the rifling and seal the bore for optimum velocity and accuracy. A fiber-reinforced polymer ring on the 270-grain copper-alloy bullet scrubs fouling from the breech. High ballistic coefficient flattens trajectories. Polymer tip with deep, hollow cavity and skiving assures consistently devastating expansion. Requires about half the loading force of a bullet with sabot. Suggested retail for 15-pack $24.95. Contact: Federal, Dept. FFG, 900 Ehlen Dr., Anoka, MN 55303; (800) 379-1732; federalpremium.com
