What makes the impact so unreliable, yet so desirable?

[HubenK1Sniper92]

Or if Harley Davidson built an airplane, would you fly in it?

What the hell is that? I have a Harley with 60,000 original miles and the engine has never been apart, and know others that have close to 100k with no problems that’s a pretty poor comparison

It’s a lot of money to spend for a ‘hope it’s good’ feeling. There are so many high quality, great shooting guns out there, but the impact has almost a cult following to it. Like, if you’re in the airgun world, you HAVE to own one!!!

Yes it is ALOT like a cult following. A fellow shooter bought one and went thru several barrels before he got one that was accurate. Many who have them, even with all the issues they may have had, buy another HOPING this one will be THE ONE...to each his own...but if you're in the airgun world, you DON'T have to own one...lots to choose from.

Once they make you buy into it the first time, they keep you hooked with "planned obsolescence".

After all , you GOTTA have the new one, it's BETTER!

It's brilliant really.

I think many individuals get GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), but FX does still support their original rifles including available parts.

The "planned obsolescence" is just people wanting the newest technology.

It's a very good high tech gun but not for non technical users.

Basically someone should be reasonably in the know to tap full potential out of it.

Along with usage of tools and diagnostics mentality, mixed in with a touch of finesse…

… got sucked into this ancient thread, also

That’s ok. I heard chanting and had to see why people were sitting in a circle holding hands with candles lit. It’s another topic resurrection. Two years later I still wouldn’t fly in an airplane if Harley Davidson made it.

Hell I wouldnt even ride a Harley Davidson if Harley Davidson made it.....

If FX made an airplane….

If FX made an airplane….

Nope, don’t feel like buying upgrades mid flight. The plane would never be powerful enough. The gauges would be wrong and if you don’t upgrade, lord knows where you’ll land. You get the picture.

 

[TerryE1]

I think FX should raise the Impact price.

That wouldn’t make wanna buy one..

Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
