About the Benjamin Armada
The Benjamin Armada is a pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) bolt-action air rifle built by Crosman Corporation on a modular AR-style aluminum chassis. Feeding from a 10-shot rotary magazine and firing .22 or .25 caliber pellets, it pairs the proven Benjamin Marauder valve system with a full-length Picatinny rail, a shrouded and integrally suppressed barrel, and an onboard air pressure gauge. Filled to 3,000 psi, it delivers more than 30 consistent shots per fill at up to 1,000 fps in .22, making it a popular hunting and pest-control platform.
Introduced at the 2015 SHOT Show, the Armada extended the popular Benjamin Marauder into the tactical airgun market, riding the surge of interest in AR-pattern accessory compatibility for hunting and backyard pest control.
