Any guns you regret buying"

This is probably going to hurt some feelings but here we go.
#1 FX impact M2 22 cal. (5 out of 10)
Needy little thing no matter what I did it was never good enough. Got some good groups but not consistent.
#2 FX Impact M3 22 cal. (3 out of 10)
Alway out of commission, every time I went to use it. It was always off target leaking or something.
#3 Daystate redwolf 22 cal. (6 out of 10)
Love the feel of this gun but can’t get any decent accuracy.
#4 Edgun R5 22 cal. (5 out of 10)
Edgun electric pressure gauge is great when it works, which is rarely. Average accuracy. Side charging is clunky. Rear safety’s are unsafe and should never be made this way, ever just stop.

I love my little AEA HP SS .30 caliber. I like to tinker and once you learn to work on it and get it right, it's great. Much cheaper than the FX guns.

The only rifle i had a problem with was the FX Indy
It was an accurate, quiet and fun rifle. I had loads of fun with it. Reminds me of a grown up Crosman pumpmaster 760
For those who don't know, the Indy is a pump-up pcp like the Independance, only in bullpup configuration. Could fire up to 10 consistent shots from 10 pumps of the handle.
The problem i encountered was moisture.
I live by the ocean, a humid environment. Compressed air and humidity is not a good combination. I ended up with a lot of water rusting the internals destroying the rifle.
I almost sent it in to get it fixed, but realized i can't use it. Same problem will happen again.
it just sits in a corner broken

I love my R5M, but I've gotta agree about the pressure gauges. I've had good accuracy and like the side charging. Safety is a habit, not a device...

Since that FX purchase/sale I've added at least 6 PCPs and just recently moved toward springers, I purchased 2 HW springers and a Diana all individually for less than $600. Non of these guns are even close to being as finicky as the $2k FX. Full disclosure I purchased 3 Hubens but non cost over $1250 and I'm pretty sure I could get $1k+ for each resale. Its hard to forget your first divorce.

The only PCP that I regret buying is Airacuda Max in .22, .25 and .30 about 6 to 9 months ago. All due to moderator clipping due to defective crowns. Pyramyd Air took them back and gave me full refund. About 4 months ago I bought the .30 Airacuda Max again from Pyramyd Air and this time, no m oderator clipping. Very accurate with 44.75 JSBs. No problems with G SL30, Huma Regulated Armada, Notos, Avenge-X in .177, .22 and .25, Maverick 600mm, XM1 Bullsharks in .177, .22 and .25, XM1 Ranger in .22. Love them all now. No problems. I DID have a BAD leak on Avenge-X but Air Venturi sent me a complete air tube and that solved the problem.

I would say "not good" but what do I know? Ask Alien Airguns and HE will know and if not good, he can fix it.

It looks like the surface of 60 grit sandpaper----- wow . Trash is what comes to my mind IMHO .
I bought the sig sauer p226 semi auto co2 pistol thinking it would be fun to play with but... As for accuracy its fair, doesn't get a whole lot of shots per canister of air, doesn't have power after about 10 or so shots. The best thing about it is its looks and it does cycle the slide lol.

I don’t regret buying it but my experiences with my fx impact has put me off ever buying another fx airgun

Benjamin Akela, terrible accuracy, can't get better than 1" groups at 20 yards with any pellet I've tried. Also, 0.22 cal. RAW HM1000X- less than 9 months old and already leaks and accuracy is no better than my $500 Cayden.

That’s on my list todo as well. Longer barrel, regulator. Love the way the Jet handles. I want it to shoot well.

that’s a bummer
Post a thread about your issues with the RAW and you should get some good advice on how to resolve them.Bb

None that haven't been sold, or given away. The 2 gamo guns I have owned were the fastest to leave(big cat and silent cat, both in .177).....that being said there are some guns I regret selling.
