Multi-Pump Airguns are Great Again!! | Seneca DragonFly MK2 .22 vs Crosman Benjamin 392 .22 Review 

You can't call it passing the torch, because I have no intention of letting go of my end (just yet).😆

Ted made a video! Stop everything else

This marks 12 years since I’ve been following you Ted. If you go back to your older videos…somewhere you’ll find a me commenting on your vids except back then I was around the same age as Levi…time flies. Keep these vids comin! I’m looking forward to a JTS review hopefully.

I'm glad you're training Levi, we need more airgun RU-vidrs of your quality 😂

Good to see you again Ted and it's even better to see you without an FX in your hand😂😂😂

Ted reviews 4 airguns, but he's busy open carrying a couple of guns himself.

I've been shooting my Crosman 2100 for 30+ years and it's still going strong. Now teaching my son with it on the ranges. Multi pump works for us 👍

Great video buddy 🤜🤛

No way, I remember when you had your first kid, I can't believe how big they are. Awesome vid. Levi is going to be an amazing shooter. I hope you both do some more diving vids eventually, those were amazing

I was about your sons age when I first started watching your videos. I’m turning 24 on Christmas Eve and I still love this content. Great stuff man keep ‘em comin 🤙🏽

Glad to see you again. And so nice to hear you too have a .20 Sheridan Blue Streak too! 👍

Me: “I don’t need another air gun having 3 pcps” Ted: drops a review Me: huh think I need a multi pump🤔

Nice to see you Ted. Great video with your son! This week I learned that you work quite a bit with Matt Dubber. Nice to know I'm on the right track with respect to the shooting sports. Thanks buddy! Looking forward to the next one.

Great video! It would have been fun with just Levi and Ted without the air gun!

I've been very much looking forward to this video, thank you both for your efforts and hard work putting it together for us to enjoy! Keep up the good work!

We’ll done dudes, excellent as always. Don’t think these guns will take on the Hw30 and HW99S here in the U.K. Love the fact you and your little fella are bonding around the shooting. If this is where you are going at the mo and if you can get one in the states HW99S might make a good vid. We’ll done Ted.

It's always good to see you Ted. Please don't go away :c

I have the Seneca DragonFly MK2 .22 and love it, it has replaced my Benjamin .20. Thanks for the review.

I have a wood stock 392 with a brass barrel I bought in 2000 for 135$ and it shines brightest with crosman pointed pellets and daisy hollow points. I do like the dragonflys easy pumping and magazine. My 392 will hold a penny at 25 yards but after getting into PCPs it sets in the gun case. I would like to get the dragonfly but doubtful I would ever use it. My .25 cal LCS is everything I could ever want in an airgun. Thanks for the video. Stay blessed.

You two make a good team, very entertaining.

This is what its all about. Getting outside and spending time with your kids. Great video.

Nothing wrong with a good multi-pump, I've had various models over the years and still have a few, the older ones seem to be of better quality. Thanks guys for another interesting and educational video.

great video ted and nice to see you review a gun like this over those high end FX air rifles even though we know you love them lol!

Great video Ted 👍 it's nice to see multi pump in your channel. In Indonesia, we call the multipump as UKLIK, and there are several die hard uklik-er in youtube such as pejuang uklik (uklik warrior) and they're shooting 4.5 slug at 100+ m.. eniwei.. great to see you bring this up 👍😇

But you don’t ever hit the bulls eye….that’s not accurate at all!!! Jk people, don’t worry about the bullseye, worry about the grouping.

Awesome review Ted. Love the review of the more inexpensive rifles.

Levi is awesomesauce.

It"s wounderful to se you again Ned!

Excellent video! I wasn't looking for a multi-pump, but now you've got me excited for the Dragonfly. Damn you, Ted... I used to have a Corsman M4 which was very accurate. But, I gave it to my girlfriend's son-in-law for some birds he was having trouble with.

Been watching for years I love the vids man

Dude where have you been. Subscribed years ago. First video post notification in a year?

Nice your back, Levi seems to have developed a sense of humour from somewhere. I still hope one day you will see the light and hop on a spring gun someday, one pump and your done 😉 Although all the quality stuff has flaws and is very expensive, most of the cheaper stuff isn't very good out the box. The lower end of the price market is a funny place some things that should be good disappoint and others out perform, then some marketing whatnot realises they are better than they need to be and decides to cut corners to make more profit and stuffs up a good thing.

I still have my 392 with walnut stock from the 90s. It's accurate, noisy, inefficient and slow at 675 fps in 22. Mine like old copperhead pointed and crow mags. Thousands of pests taken. Still have it now that I'm in the fx world.

Excellent review, I appreciate all you have done for the air gun community

I have the crossman 362, $100 and plenty accurate. Seems a better option for a lightweight pump than the 392. Hard to scope, but the open sights are good enough

Great review. Levi did great too.

Man I remember pumping my old crosman pump master 20+ times when I was a kid lol😂

finally. getting back to what bb/pellet guns were meant to be. while i enjoy my m3, looking back to my childhood, this really reconnected it. maybe FX needs to come up with a pump-up that will rekindle old flames that kids can afford.

I never really envied this Era till now. Just realized your son can watch these videos of your interactions forever. It's a good time now sometimes.

Cute kid. You obviously have a great relationship with him. A good sign of good parenting.

This is the second video I watched that said the dragonfly takes up to a maximum of 15 pumps. I recently purchased this 22 caliber pump air rifle. I thought they were both wrong. I thought the instructions said 5 pumps Max! So I just wen and checked instructions again with my glasses on and seeing it clearly says 15! I want to thank you both for that because I didn't think the gun was powerfull enough and was bouncing pellets out of wood more than half the time. I was going to return it. What a mistake that would have been. Just tried it out at 15 pumps with two different types of pellets: hawki pointed 19.9gr and stoeger x hunt 15.74gr. both stuck into 2 inch thick pressure treated wood. Both pellets penetrated into the wood between 1/4 and 1/3 of an inch from the end of the pellet. The stoeger going to the deeper depth. I think due to its lighter weight. But I'm no expert. Love the gun. Only complaint for me would be pumping 15 times 4 maximum power. The last three pumps get a bit harder, but nothing major. Love the looks of the gun, the feel, the balance, the sights. I would prefer the handle fit onto the metal frame more securely. Love the gun and I'm glad I purchased it over the Benjamin 392S. Only fired it at short range but I find it very accurate. While I think I would have been happy with the Benjamin in most ways, I definitely prefer the real Woodstock of the dragonfly and the fiber optic sights. And even though you have to pump it more, they are much easier than any other pump airgun I have ever had. And you can see from videos pumping the Benjamin takes a lot of effort. I think anyone who buys this pellet gun and enjoys pump air rifles, will be satisfied with it for sure. It is also the most powerful pump air rifle I have owned. It claims a Max of 730 ft per second. I believe with the right pellets, it will exceed that.

Big selling point for 392 is it has brass barrels, No rust and they get very smooth in compare to steel

Love it! The next generation of invasive eliminators plus rifles they can use that dads can afford. Thanks for this one Ted.

So I was scrolling through RU-vid, and this popped up. I was like, "Wait, how come I didn't see this on my feed?" Only to see I was somehow unsubscribed. What the hell RU-vid!

a sound review of the guns bud and great to see your lad in there he looks about the same age as my granddaughter shes 12 which makes me feel really old now i have said it lol

i hope you read this ted. i have the seneca dragonfly MK2 in .22. i had accuracy issues like you have in this video until i removed the forward barrel band/pumptube cap by removing the thread adapter and the 2 small screws on the pump tube cap. after this i ordered the appropriate length of 12 mm inner diameter 15 mm outer diameter carbon fiber tube (i forget the measurement but) i ran it skintight over the barrel going from covering the first few threads on the naked muzzle all the way down to the rear barrel band/rear sight mount and then torqued down on the 3 grub screws in the barrel band before torqueing down the thread adapter on the carbon fiber tube. this creates a tensioned freefloat barrel and olympics pcp rifle level accuracy. i get 3 shot groups .24" ctc at 30 yards (on my rangefinder) with a .22 multipump... i behead dandelions with it at the same range by shooting the stem. i have affectionately named her Cornelia, so i can call her: Corny! also the trigger can be improved easily: the trigger blade itself doesnt actually disengage the sear. instead, theres a set screw requiring a very small allen key set into the trigger blade that can be tightened or loosened to alter the feel of the trigger. mines butter at less than a pound and a half. if you intend to do trigger work do it over an illuminated, clean work surface with raised edges, the trigger is held together by two stainless(?) pins, one of which really likes to run away! if you find this helpful please upload a video so i can see im not crazy!

Just picked up an MK2 along with bug buster scope. First airgun, or any gun for that matter in over 30 years. It arrives Wednesday hopefully.

The original Sheridans were the best. I had a Silver Streak that I hunted jack rabbits, cotton tails, ground squirrels,quail and rats with. I got paid 10 cents per rat! I have two later model Sheridans but neither of them are as good as the original. I took advantage of the Pyramid Air sale on the Dragonfly and found best accuracy with JTS Dead Center pellets

Your kiddo reminds me of mine, haha. Love this video, am in the market for a Dragonfly Mk2 as a result. Thanks Ted, been watching your videos for years for fun, no brainer to look at you for advice for a purchase.

I am really interested to see the 362 review. From what I can see, it looks like the 1322's big brother. I happen to really like my 1322 so I hope it's pretty accurate.

The only youtuber I set a notification for...

You don't have to completely close the pump while pumping. Pull the handle down until the bar hits the pump tube and that is all the air that will be pumped and start again. You are wasting a lot of energy by camming the pump handle completely against the tube. I completely stripped my pump, degreased it, and then lubed it with pellgun oil. Pumping is significantly easier. With 10 pumps mine gets 775 fps with a 14.66 grain pellet (19.55 ft lbs) and is a tack driver. 11 to 15 pumps doesn't significantly increase power. I have a moderator on mine and it snugs up against the front sight tensioning the barrel slightly and I think that adds to accuracy.

Sup Fred great video I'm a cheese head to my first pellet gun Wus a 22 sherdon bought in Kenosha at sears 1969 still got it had buy a dart gun for my cow's it the same as new Crossman you show but 50cal barrel I should be mad at you you got my buy pellet again years ago fist adult pellet wus a air force condor 257 then a prod n thin a mrod and hubin k1 so I had buy Alf carret comppreser then tanks n all the mods it a addictive hobby But a lot of fun I have killed wild hogs for farmers n even did a contract killing goose for the local air force base So thank for getting me addicted lol Your a great influence to the pellet gun hobby

Is that your son? I remember the video saying that you wanted to make videos to create a legacy kind of thing! Look how old he is now, scary right!! Like the multi pumps as a step up from a springer! Have you done any springer mods etc? Remeber reading so many pages of that website with a red and white theme.

I appreciate all of your videos Ted, and this could be your best yet

Lol.... I enjoyed myself watching you guys enjoy yourself!

Wow. Just like my daisy 880 I had when I was in the states. Had to give up my airguns when my student visa expired and I had to move back to Japan.

What kind of velocity were you getting out of each gun?

THEY BEYBLADES!

Ted had no definition when he started this video. Forget the gym, folks. Get yourself a pump action air rifle. 😂

Hey Ted, I don't know how the new 392 is, but the last models that had the wood stocks suffered accuracy problems because the black paint that they use to paint the brass barrels suffered overspray in the riffling at the muzzle and can effect grouping quite a bit. I thought this was a bunch of bull when I read about it, until I bought a 397 and couldn't get it to group with any pellets. I took some fingernail polish remover and a bore brush and cleaned the paint overspray out of the riffing at the muzzle and my groups tightened up quite nice. It seems to be a common problem with the "newer" guns. Just a thought... Enjoyed the video. William C. central Indiana.

Nice! Father and son bonding...

Great Stuff Ted! Glad you and your son have these wonderful moments together. Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised to see you had an accurate rifle passed 25-30 yards. I've read reports of the Dragonfly in .22 cal having barrel issues and not being rigid enough to maintain accuracy without some mods. Looking forward to your Crosman 362 review and mods. I have a crap ton of different pellet and can't get my Crosman steel breech w/one grub screw to shoot anything smaller them 2"groups passed 25 yards at full power. Is the key the 2 or 3 barrel grub screw steel breeches? or is it the barrel not rigid enough?

It's been a long time Ted, I remember your daughter with your pcp hand pump and she's about as high as your pump on your video a couple years back, now I'm watching this with my 5 yo lil daughter 😅

I would’ve thought I made it if I had a multi pump pellet gun with a moderator as a kid 😂😂

OK, let's get things straight, are those for the kid in blue or for the kid wearing glasses? 😂

Nice one ted how about new channel name teds diaper old over..cheers sir from u k

Love the vids. Finally i own my own property. And now need a airrifle for doves, rabbits and similar. Its a bit urban so quiet would be nice. What would you recomend?

Levi's a natural. You guys are going to have fun! Looking forward to more Levi reviews.

Hai Ted, Video yang bagus, kapan kamu memakainya untuk berburu? Saya sering memakai multi pump air rifle untuk beerburu. 😄

I got a Benjamin 347 .177 air rifle for Christmas when I was 13 or 14, back in the late 70s. I chronoed it about 10 years ago and at full power it was about equal to my Beeman R9, at 3 pumps, about the same as my R7. I still have it and it is still one of the most accurate air rifles I own. I bought a 392 .22 about 12 years ago and was very disappointed in the accuracy. I don't know why Crosman would buy an iconic brand, a higher end brand than Crosman ever made, and cheapen it to the point of being mediocre at best.

Holy crap Ted your looking fit as a fiddle!

i am super happy to see you having Levi in the video with you!! i do everything i do with my boy (hunting fishing, outdoor stuff) we shoot airguns for pest control and you my friend have a lot to do with that!! hope to see more of you and him having fun with the toys!!!

Great video Ted. Sorry to hear the 392 is so bad now, I have an old one that shoots great with a peep. It's great to see your kids. Thank you.

My regards from Bali island -Indonesia 🇮🇩

Did you clean the paint out of the 392's muzzle? That helps because it has a painted brass barrel, whereas most of its competitors have blued steel; hence no paint overspray in the muzzle. You can clean it out with acetone and a Q-tip.

Great review! Thumbs Up from me! I just bought one a few days ago, did you put high scope rings on It to clear the rear sight?

Do an HW30 with him Ted!

Bad reviews of the Benji 392 aren't common. Do you think you might have just gotten a bad one?

Omg you’re boy looks so much like 😂

no need to get a dna test on THAT one. he's a mini you through and through

Great video yep I subscribed 😉👍

I'll stick with my never fail Sheridan blue streak! Much better accuracy with or without a scope and the trigger is far better.

Ive done used my bb-gun into a skewer stick gun as crossbow. just make sure the sticks are straight. the curved came out the wrong direction.

Thanks for posting Ted! Been following you for years... literally, lol

Have you ran threw the Gamo brand air rifles. My sons 177 shoots fairly consistent. Whisper fusion I think.

Dude !!! This is awesome

I was pellet gun shopping with my father when I was 12 in 1963. I saw the sheridan and the benjamin, but bought the Crosman CO2. I was too small and weak for the pump ups.

That’s my son’s name as well. They look to be close in age too. 😊 thanks for the content, Ted.

Muy buen video 👍👍y muy divertido saludos 👍🧉🇦🇷

Lookin pretty yoked there, Ted. Who needs to pump iron when you can pump airguns? I'm super excited for your thoughts on the 362. I got one last year around Christmas and I've dramatically reduced the population numbers of collared doves in my area. Taking headshots at 20 yards with a very high rate of success (using some Amazon special scope WITHOUT AO, which is annoying...).

Happy saw your son. I remember 7 years ago your son born and you was happy. God bless him

Sorry guys but just my opinion they all are not very good I'll stick to my PCP's or break barrels all that pumping not very accurate ether

I took many rabbits and pigeons with my Blue Streak in the 1970's.

Nice kids...great video. Purchased the Blue Streak in 1968....35USD new.

My boy either pumped these guns A LOT or hes been hitting the GYM

I own the Benjamin 392s and the Seneca Dragonfly MkII. I will placing an order the Crosman 362 100 Year Anniversary in .22cal.

Those 392 are bad to have paint over spray in the muzzle. Clean it out with a bit of break cleaner on a cotton swab and see if accuracy improves.

So instead of MAGA it’s MMPGA??? Yeah I don’t know about that one… The key issue is multi pumps were never fundamentally “great” IMO… I will say the gun I was gifted in 2002 ish was way better than the one I bought in 2008 ish at 18. One key thing is buy pellet only never buy the BB/pellet combo!!! They don’t shoot BBS or pellets accurately and having a BB reservoir is useless!!!
