FX IMPACT COMPACT

- Start date
Got mine few weeks ago. JSBs 18s at 920fps quarter groups at 50 yards, right at 70 shots from a 250 bar fill. Compact pretty light, kinda cold and like a box of knifes to handle but I've always had wood or synthetic stocks...but I'm really digging it.
I snubbed my nose at Impacts in the past as trendy over priced rifles that looked like long goose guns but then this compact? I think I'm hooked and on the Impact bandwagon.

500mm barrel and 300cc bottle. A standard in .22 would give you more shots and better efficiency.

I think the Compact barrel is shorter than 500mm.
A standard 22 Impact has a 500 barrel and 480cc bottle.

They both have a 500mm barrel, difference is the short fix shroud and 300 cc bottle VS longer telescopic shroud and 480cc bottle.
I ordered a impact with 600mm barrel, i don't see a reason to buy a compact. It is only a bit shorter and you get less shot's per fill.

I believe the mk2 impacts are delivered with 600mm barrels as standard. Copied from fx airguns web site,impact specs: "Length 600 mm 5.5 (.22) *500mm if sub 12ft for UK."

The only thing compact about the impact compact is the bottle, it looks cool but personally I would get the Dreamline lite or tac compact if I want a compact which I really do. Get 700mm barrel for the impact so the impact can be an impact. IMHO

According to the FX site, it does indeed. They apparently recently updated the specs, .however on the site of the importer in my country (Krale) the .22 had the 500mm barrel. Maybe it depends in which country you live.

I checked, as I have been a customer there myself. According to them, the mk2 black has a 600mm barrel, while the mk2 silver has a 500mm barrel, which make no sence
Guess theire specs is not updated on the silver. But if being in doubt when ordering one, I would send a mail and ask. I think FX changed the barrel lenght when mk2 was introduced. If it has a fixed shroud, it should be a 600mm one, as the 500mm ones used to have the extendable shroud. Upvote 0

That is strange, according to the info on their site the bronze version also has a 500mm barrel, but this will not be correct.. The FX site has not been up to date for a long time and now has the correct specs.
It was not a problem for me, through another company closer to home I have ordered my impact. Krale delivers these to them. Because I didn't want an extended shroud, I ordered my bronze impact with a 600mm barrel. If this is standard it is only easier.

.22 and lower has standard 500mm barrel with extended shroud, .25 and up has 600mm with foxed shroud and moderator as standard. I do believe .22 can have the option of 600 and 700mm barrel but check with dealer availability, not everyone has every option in stock.

I have had one for a few weeks in .25. It’s the perfect size for my needs coming right at 30 inches with the Ronin. I’m seeing all the hype and allure on the Impact. Very accurate allowing me to smash sparrows at 65 yards with ease. Very quiet for power it’s making and the 28 round magazine is crazy. I’ve had a few FX guns before, I can this one by far is the best. Made it my own with a few bolt accessories.

Anyone with FX Impact MkII .30 compact? What is the exact length of the gun with Ronin attached? Is it really 30"?

I have one in bronze.22 and have a 580cc bottle and the Donny koi. It has the superior heavy 500mm liner. This thing is an absolute laser beam with.218 nsa slugs. Love this little gem
