Is anyone making a 9mm or .357 barrel for the FX Impact? Does the Impact have enough power to lob these heavy pellets at any distance? Inquiring minds would like to know.
9mm /.357 barrel for FX Impact?
- Thread starter gunsnknives
- Start date
Power maxes out with the .30 caliber pellets. It could shoot .357 but IMO either the velocity would be to low or you'd be pushing the gun out of its comfort zone.

A few years ago travels for fun, a old member on this forum interviewed fx for me (and others) during extreme bench rest 2015. My question for Fx was whether they would be looking into making big bore guns for the market. Their reply was that they weren't looking into getting into this side of the market. However, perhaps things may change with the inclusion of the x barrel. It will definitely be a challenge making a gun with that much range of power adjustments.
Here is the post.

or maby just a raw......thats prob you re best bet.....very accurate and lots of power. The beaumonts are mainly shot straight out of a scuba tank with an external regulator.......so this would mostly fit benchrest applications. that being said.....i do think they could make a pellet version on request (most of these shoot solids)

Well the time has come!
With the new power plenum out and being supplied on the new guns FX has added the 9mm/.357 to the line up!
So I figure they will make a division in the calibers (.117, .22, .25 , .30)and then add the bigger Plenum and bump into the big bores eg: ( .357/9mm , .40 , .45 , .50) and then if they go that far they may as well go to the real big boys of the black powder standard ( .54 ,.58 ,.62 ,.72)
Now you may need to carry a SCUBA tank on your back to hunt with the top calibers so you can get multiple shots , but to shoot these calibers there are probably though that would do that! LOL
The air gun world has hit the ground running now and it's a clean slat as to how big and how far they will go.
I for one am glad to be alive to see it ,I so enjoy my air gun on our farm ,Pesting is a blast.

who knows where FX will go next personally I would like an 800mm .30 cal liner and a electronic adjustable rifle with the versatility of the Impact from them.
But if they do go Bigger bore I don't see where the currant rifle frames they make will accommodate those calibers.
There line now includes Rifles, scopes, pumps, chrono, a list of accessories to long to want to list.
At the rate they have released things It might not be long to see where there next vision takes us.
