FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets
- Thread starter FX-USA
- Start date
It is likely that some percentage of people (the human race) will always believe in myths.It only has religious reference/undertones under the following conditions:
1. FX - Can't get their issues resolved and people blame it on an Act of God
2. When you start shooting them and they group in feet not inches and someone Blames God
3. The wind pushes them around more than expected and someone Blames God
All in fun.

Of course, everyone is HONEST about their shooting capabilities and that of their gun(s). (chuckle)

Can't be a myth, he gets blamed for too much, can't blame things that don't exist.It is likely that some percentage of people (the human race) will always believe in myths.

AS far as shooting capabilities, I can honestly say that I can poke holes in paper at various distances.

OooooKay. I was taught never to argue with a fool, zealot... (I could list more), but for the sake of the forum, I will leave it there.
AGN rules exclude politics and religion for a reason.
Back to airguns.

Shooting FX will I be able to shoot them out of my Superior barrels, or will I need my Superior heavy barrel?
Will they power out @ pellet speeds or will we need slug speeds?
My maverick is very accurate w/25g. 886 fps.on 3, 90/130. Its virtually silent and shows no effort in firing, So, the first question matters to me.

This was kind of my half joking/half serious point with the name of the product...the context of the product's name that is being implied is against agn's rules, imo, due to the conversation it could potentially generate
But back to airguns, I'm sure these pellugs would have done a number on the furry hoppers I took last night. Wonder how they'd do vs the trash pandas

Due the the short stubby length on the pellugs, I'd imagine standard superior would be the ticket. Longer slugs require the faster twist to stabilize--these are like the super lightweight NSA slugs, which shoot great out of the standard superior. Nick makes a 17.5gr .22 slug, 29gr .25 and 43.8gr .30...so these lighter weight 'slugs' already exist. I can tell you that the 29gr shoot great with my 33.95 king heavy tune, identical speeds. Would expect the same out of these new FX pellugs.

The whole "Halo" could have been the lead ring around the hole the pellet, slug or bullet leaves.
I see someone is missing not only a sense of humor but the target as well. Glad you went straight to name calling, good on you.

Exactly, " If it looks like a Duck, Walks like a Duck, and Quacks like a Duck"! What's next " The Emperors Clothes". Gaslighting by any other name is still Gaslighting! But to each his/hers own.

While I started my posts about the connotations of the word halo in half-jest, the more I think about it, the more I don't like what FX is implying with the name.
But they fork over a bunch of moola here so guess they can do whatever they'd like.
I'll still try em for short range pesting but the name is cringey and implies a religious-based concept. And if the counter is the rim around the edge of the HP, then call it the FX Big Rimmer

I'm not sure you can bring up Rimmer either.While I started my posts about the connotations of the word halo in half-jest, the more I think about it, the more I don't like what FX is implying with the name.

I'll be sticking with Pellets for my shooting needs. I've shot a couple slugs through my rifles, but I'd rather shoot and get me sorted out before I start screwing around to much.

I like the idea of the large pest popper cavity, but wonder how the thin lip will stand up. I don’t imagine they will come in a tin..have to be like hybrid packaging? That would tend to increase cost. Maybe they could be named VaporPells.

i can accept pellugs or slullet,
OR.......my own mis-mash....slugetts lol
but in all seriousness,
if they are accurate they look like they would be devastating on fleshy targets.
that said,
im hoping they actually come to be.
ill definitely buy some to try in my m3 compact.
because,for whatever reason,
"myself" i have found better slug accuracy with slugs that have a wider nose cavity and hence a flatter nose profile (compared to very pointed style slugs) and i like the dish base.
just my 2 cents,probably worth a 3rd of that haha

Personally I can't wait to try them. In all calibers. Except .35. I don't own one of those.
YET...

Trying to get airguns to shoot bullets of conventional design using conventional thinking has always been a pebble in our shoe. Trying to get an airgun to do what a powder burner does inside the chamber and barrel is impossible. Time to think outside the box with how a slug is weighted and how it can be crushed. At least someone is trying, not just pumping out little lead bullets in various diameters per caliber.

Is JSB making these? Will they be able to keep up with any anticipated demand? Will they take production priority over pellets? if so, this will make it even harder for the guys who are shooting pellets to get ammoLet me clarify further as I reread what we wrote earlier. These will be priced the same as pellets now (JSB level quality, not Gamo

I like to keep modest REG pressures, so i can easy transition to more conventional ammo, so in general i dont go further than 110 BAR in my .177
It just seem so wrong having to go to 150 BAR to push a .177 slug, even if it is a heavy 20 grain one.
I was okay with my old cyclone to just shoot the one / couple of good pellets i found for it.
But with a modern expensive multi adjustable rifle i expect to be able to shoot more things, and change in between them fairly easy,,,,, and the latter is where i find things a bit lacking.
At least as far as if we are talking FX barrels that is made for pellets but can shoot lighter slugs okay too.
But as swapping a barrel are not the biggest thing,,,, well at least if it is the whole system and not just the straw.
I was actually contemplating ( ditching the original 600 mm barrel ) making a complete 700 mm barrel, shroud - barrel pipe - end fittings / transfer port and all, but that is simply stupid expensive.
Actually as doing that is what i call ability to swap caliber, well i feel the FX lingo are a bit misleading, even if you do have your straw marked co you can put it in the pipe and get a predictable POI when you fire it.
But i would not call a modern FX rifle caliber swappable, i would call it caliber rebuildable.
AND BTW.,,,,,,,,, the end pieces of my 600 mm barrel, well they was "glued" in there like a SOB, i kid you not i heated things up well over what i would prefer, and still i completely ruined the original 1 hole transfer port piece.
And i am familiar with locktite i use a weak model of it often in my RC cars.
