I Have A Question For FX Impact M3 Owners

[bigmike]

My question is this:
How much of a performance difference is there between a gun with a power block vs a gun without it?

I want a M3 and many nice guns without the block are coming up for sale. I am not a big long range slug shooter and currently have a MKII Impact so my thinking is if I am going to go with a M3 I should get the power block version.

Just thought I would get some factual opinions.

Thanks

About 15-20 fps

So if your not wanting a big bore or try and punch out slugs at 1000 fps - I would personally be looking for a good deal on an older M3.
If you are looking at a 30 cal - think I would have to say get a power block.

I have three M3’s. One doesn’t have a power block and it doesn’t need it because it will shoot what I like to shoot out of it way faster than I need that projectile to go. Just remember, if it’s not a power block M3, the price should reflect that in the used market. It’s not a fully up to date gun.

I have a 700mm non-power block M3 in 22 cal with no power mods. I have gotten 25 grain slugs to 1030 FPS with the 2nd reg at 125 bar & that works for me. I don’t really want to get heavier with projectiles, pay more for them, & degrade my shot count. If you want to shoot heavy slugs or a big caliber maybe you would want the power block.
