It's like fx this fx that. 90% of the topics is fx guns..crown this, impact this, wildcat this....you know what I'm getting at. There are topic of other guns too but rarely. Every days has to have like 5 new topics about the same fx guns. Nothing against fx guns..I own one too but I want to hear about crosman, hatsan, air arms, daisy, red wolf, brocock, etc.
Is it just me or this forum all about fx guns?
- Thread starter 2fast2furious
- Start date
TrueIt seems like they are the most popular pcp manufacturer currently, and possibly have the majority of airguns sold because of this popularity. Because of this they get the most airtime. On the Air Pistols page the majority of the threads started are on one or two major brands as well, just not FX.

I see it as only 20 to 30% FX but even if it is more It doesn't really matter to me it is what it is kind of like Motorhead said "flavor of the moment for many" and changes by the hour or day. I post about the Air Arms, RWS and Crosman guns I have as well as my Impact. It's kind of like whatever I am shooting the most at the time gets the most posts.

Probably because there is more to fiddle with on an Impact, so more things to ask questions about and more things to fix when you fiddle with the wrong things or fiddle with the right things in the wrong order.

There is a very good reason for this. You'll have to look through the old yellow forum archive starting about 2013/2014. Be sure to search FX related posts. You won't find many if any after 2014 there. This website was created out of the censorship received on the old yellow. That's the very short version. Maybe others from that time can chime in. I only ask to keep it clean as it's clear who came out on top after it ended.

part of it seems to me that FX is constantly changing and adjusting their existing models and creating new ones and owners are just trying to keep up. i for one have had enough and walked away from them. for me it's taipan , and down the road JSAR , airgun royal , maybe air arms.

FX reminds me of Nikon in the '60's camera world. It may not be the best product out there, but it's good, and they get it in the hands of a lot of folks who do well with it. Of course, many of these folks would do well with a Red Ryder. The current generation of FX rifles are, to me, of greatest interest to those customers who like to tinker, and FX makes it easy to do so. I own a Royale 400, and I believe that original platform is very good. I have found it accurate, dependable, and with a solid barrel, it absorbs the minor bumps of normal handling without ill effect. I had a Crown, and found the sleeve/liner/shroud barrel assembly a bit fragile, and the Smooth Twist X liner needed cleaning much more often than my old ST barrel on the Royale. From what I have seen, the Continuum utilizes a more robust sleeve and liner barrel assembly system, and should be an improvement. Their nearly frenetic pace of delivering new products is, to me, less reassuring of a solid,dependable rifle than some other makers, who tend to make small improvement to a well proven design, that just keeps on doing well without a lot of fanfare. But, maybe I'm just old and boring. We need vitality in the market, and FX serves it up.

All of the stuff happened before I was around on the Yellow Forum,
What I can say is that while there are a lot of FX guys on this forum Michael unlike other forum owners has created a very fair and open forum even when I have found things that I did not agree with and stepped on a lot of toes my posts was not removed. This Forum and its Advertising does support Michael but he allows marketing from of other manufactures and retailers with fair advertising prices and equal rights for all, Further he has insured that all "Marketing" and advertising stays compartmentalized from member posts to insure a clean forum that is easier to use, with very strict posting rules for retailers and manufactures.
I have never owned an FX and could not justify the cost of owning one, (although a few days ago I did do some trading to get one) My primary reason for breaking down and getting one is watching how they have taken the customers loyalty and feedback and returned it with advancements in engineering even better guns without the gimmicks
So yeah I guess there are a lot of FX posts mostly because this year and a lot of last year FX has stepped up to the plate and made some very large and positive leaps in airgun advancement whereas many of the other manufactures has sort of just stayed at the status quo mark

4 out of 5 of the “new topics” on the home page this morning were about FX. I think they are popular for a reason. I’ve shot a few and always wanted an FX gun but never did buy one. You can’t deny they are some of the most accurate guns made.

I have three FX guns, and shot one in EBR at 100 yards, but I normally post about my Eastern European guns (Vulcan, Cricket, EDgun) since I usually feel there are enough posts already about FX. I actually also shot EDgun and Cricket at EBR and won with the Cricket in Sportsman Speed Silo.

Just on the first page of the PCP section, once you get past the normal AEAC stuff there are eight FX topics and eight threads about other PCP's including Diana, Taipan, Brocock, Raptor and Theobin. Seemed decently balanced, but yeah there is a lot on FX's.

FX, The Harley Davidson of the PCP world. Better put a pan under it, it leaks air. Just kidding LOL. FX makes great weapons. Don't own one, have a PROD and a couple of BSA's. Don't own a Harley either.
