In 2005, Crosman released the Nightstalker in the United States. The first semi-automatic airgun with blowback action. The Nightstalker uses an 88 gram CO₂ powerlet as its power source; allowing for up to 300 shots before changing the CO₂ tank.

It fires .177 calibre (4.5mm) pellets from a 12 shot rotary clip at up to 580 fps. It only weighs four pounds (1.8 kg) fully loaded and feels even lighter. Its total length is just over thirty inches (76 cm) making it a decent sized rifle. Its construction was based on a common styled carbine rifle made of synthetic materials. The steel rifled barrel is 16.75 inches (42.5 cm) long which helps out for greater accuracy and velocity.

The front and rear sights are unique mohawk style sights which are accurate but at first difficult to get used to. The front sight is adjustable for elevation while the rear sight has two aperture peep sights adjustable for windage. A safety mechanism is provided by a cross bolt safety switch. This BB rifle comes in two packages. The basic Nightstalker package gives you the gun, four twelve shot rotary clips, and one 88g CO₂ powerlet. While the NightstalkerTK package comes with a bipod, an electronic red dot sight, and an LED flashlight (batteries included in the package too). The basic package sells for about US$100, with the TK package selling from US$150 - $200.

The Nightstalker bears more than a passing resemblance to the Cx4 Storm, a carbine chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP and produced by Beretta.
