Yes, sounds great. I've never had much interest in the Impact but this mag. capacity and shot count has me seriously looking. Not interested in a lot of power what I have works well for me.

Actually going through the calculations 79 shots at 879fps on 2200psi of air isn't that impressive with a 700mm barrel. That's still a ton of air. What you guys aren't realizing instead of using say 1400psi for 40 shots now you can use 2200psi for 79 shots lol at the same power.

Hammer weight helps the VDT at low pressure with bigger plenum volume, but I'm not sure how much weight (if any) is needed with the opening moved further back in this new valve housing. My guess is that it would still be advantageous to supply enough energy for working the valve regardless.

Just reporting what was shown in one of the very few hands on videos to have been released on it. He is extremely popular, so it isn’t like I made it up.

Regarding the shot count with a .30. Giles’ video that was referred to is below.
https://airgun101.com/index.php/component/allvideoshare/video/new-fx-impact-power-plenum-airgun?itemid=269
The final chart after shooting is around 11:30 mark, but feel free to watch the entire thing as he shoots with various calibers and barrels as well.

I've watched the video and never said you made it up. I have a pic of the shot string here. He definitely got that shot count but over a very large air pressure range. So it basically just made a larger range of usable pressure. But cut down to similar pressure say 250-150bar swing gained about 6 shots.

I was going by FX specs, not Giles video. It says shot count is increased in .25 cal. from 75 to 110 . Which is about 50%
Maybe Giles got a good one.

Does that really matter though? The bottom line is that there were 79 useable shots on the reg in .30 and that’s awesome.

WOW! 79 shots in .30 caliber? I'm only getting 27 shots in .30 caliber...but that's at 130 ft lbs energy though...

I dont need 79 shots when I hunt.
I need only one for a turkey.
I need only one for a coyote
I need only one for a deer
I need only one for a boar
Maybe more for small birds or squirrels
For target shooting it depend on your satisfaction and budget for pellets or slugs.

I agree with GQ... can you imagine cleaning 79 rabbits or squirrels after hunting all day? I don't know about the state you live in, but most states have a bag limit on game during hunting season and the rest of the time you are strictly forbidden from taking most any other game. In the State of Florida where I live you are allowed to take certain non-native invasive species like hogs, all year long with no hunting license required. However, there is a law against the "wanton taking of wildlife."
Which means you are walking a very fine line in this state to just go out and kill birds or other animals with your airgun just for the fun of killing things like people do in some places. In Everglades National Park and most other Wildlife Management Areas if you get caught with even a BB gun outside of hunting season you are going to jail and your boat, vehicle, and other gear will be confiscated. It is a well known fact here that our Florida Wildlife Officers take a damn dim view of people killing things just for the fun of it, and you had better have a damn good excuse if they catch you doing so. And helping Mother Nature rid the planet of something you consider a pest is not one of them!
True Hunters hunt for food, eat what they kill, and have empathy for the animals whose lives they take for that purpose. Period.

You do realize people also shoot at the range and in competitive events, right? Extra shot count isn’t just for hunters. Same with the high capacity magazines.

My bad. He referenced the same comment in that quote and people keep asking the same question. I see you were asking about his high power in the second part of his comment.
