FX Impact .22 at 880fps 16gr over 120 shots; 50yd good, long range still testing; trigger complex to adjust (what I hear) did not adjust mine yet,
Vulcan .25 40-45 shots at 880fps 25gr; long range as good as 50yd; trigger adjustable easily, I modified mine; shot to shot fps spread better than FX Impact
This is from my earlier posts:
The Vulcan is talked about a lot here, and after some “research” and polling here on AGN I ended up buying one in .25. it is probably the most accurate so far out of the box and I feel that it’s a solid rifle that is straight business and a no nonsense tack-driver. Does it drive like a Cadillac? No, but it’s the muscle car with the stick shift and no-frills interior that you enjoy taking on a wild spin. In my humble opinion, AOA’s decision to start carrying the Vulcan was probably based in some part on the many popular threads here on AGN and the TAG. Customer service at AGT is #1 as far as I can tell. It is very accurate out of the box, has better shot spread than my FX Impact (regulator/hammer/spring combo), and simple to work on. Some do customize it to their liking and the way they want it to handle. My only complaint is that the cocking arm should have been designed like the FX Impact which has a lot more leverage thus makes it smoother. After around 1,000 shots I found that my Vulcan started operating much smoother.
FX airguns are talked about more because currently they are the TESLA’s of the airgun world. Some of their new innovative models create a buzz and appeal to the most vocal and risk taking air gun enthusiasts who are willing to take one for a test ride even with risks that are known and unknown. Just like Elon Musk of Tesla, new innovative FX airguns are given more credit and higher expectations than what they probably deserve. But because FX has a history of successful and proven models many of us willing to give new exotic models a try recognizing the risk we take. It would take two or three failed FX models to change that perception. My .22 FX Impact has that Cadillac feeling to it as far as smooth mechanical operation and the precise movement of parts, but does not have the elegance and class that the Daystate has. It’s made for a different purpose. It’s the tuners dream and it’s for those who want the versatility of using the .177 to quietly plink hundreds of shots in the backyard, or take part in a FT match(?), and then on a whim change over to the .30cal and drop some beast in the woods at long ranges. It’s the rifle you can drive in ECO-mode, and when change your mood just push the SPORTS-mode button, extend the spoilers, and burn rubber.
