Frankly much of this thread is ridiculous. It is full of people who have never owned an Impact, or never want to won one, saying that the gun is crap. Yet somehow the Impact keeps selling hand over fist, out of stock almost everywhere despite the $2000 price tag. Come on guys, don’t be ridiculous. It has been years since FX introduced the Impact. If it was even 1/4 as bad as the naysayers would have it be then they would not be still selling tons of them. The market doesn’t lie, at least not like that. No amount of “marketing” and “hype” can maintain sales if the product is a dog. Just ask the many auto manufacturers who have tried this, or those in every other field. There is a reason people buy these things and it’s not just hype, or marketing. If a thing is desirable then there is a reason. If a thing is desirable for a long time then there is a good reason, and a big reason and an enduring reason.
I bought my first FX, a Crown Continuum, in April. Loved it. Shot it every day. Wanted more power (I had a .22) and considered a barrel kit upgrade to .25. However after experiencing the Crown I decided to go for an Impact. I purchased on at the end of June, a .25 cal with a 700mm barrel. I am absolutely in love. I picked up a .30 cal upgrade kit with the Huma double port and Huma probe and was blown away by the combination of power and accuracy, the ability to dial it up or down as needed, the flexibility to shoot in my yard at 25 and 50 yards, in my basement at 15 yards, and at the range at 100 yards. All while maintaining outstanding accuracy. Changing calibers back and forth, tuning as needed, dialing power up and down, the thing is just magic. I could not be happier.
I still love my Crown, but am now seriously considering a second impact so that I can have a .30 cal slug/heavy pellet monster on hand all the time, with a .22/.25 target gun at the same time.
Unreliable? Not for me. Desirable? Absolutely!
As Glem.Chally points out from his original thread, all these Impact buyers can’t be wrong.
