How many times is Fx going to make the same rifle with a different name? Give or take a piece here and there! Best optical illusion by far
This is getting ridiculous
- Thread starter SimpleGuy
- Start date
From a manufacturing point , it cost little to use the same general parts on a NEW gun ,and repair parts are readily available .

It does appear that many of today's air gun manufacturers have taken lessons learned from the Tech industry and treat their customers as the final 'Beta Testers.' I, for one, have gotten tired of the disposable build quality of many air rifles and compressors today. FX may have their problems but at least they offer replacement parts and customer support.

FX has a great marketing team, I'll give them that. I love my FX rifle's, but I see what you mean about the redundancy of certain models. I guess more options never hurt though.
But if you're post is suggesting that FX try and invent something "revolutionary", like a semi auto Panthera or Impact, maybe a few more years down the line if we're lucky. A lot of people thought FX's next gen gun before the Panthera was going to be a hammerless semi auto. Perhaps that's still in the works or maybe FX doesn't even want to go down that hole, who knows. For me, I'm fine with FX older models, I don't need the latest and greatest.

I like my four FX (used to be 7) FX rifles, but I'm not going to buy another just because they add some new features or a new model with a different badge. I like my Impact MK2 and Crown MK2 as they are. Remember Ford/Mercury, Pontiac/Buick/Oldsmobile? Same cars, different name tags.

As far as semi auto...FX has been there and done that with the FX Revolution and the monsoon a few years back..

But those were not hammerless semi autos to my understanding? I wasn’t into airguns when those were around, but I had thought that because of their design flaws fx had discontinued them.
