Look out world, here come the IMPACT videos!
FX Airguns newest PCP... the IMPACT (video overview)
- Thread starter Michael
- Start date
My buddy shot my chrono this weekend with my .22lr. It was mounted on a tripod so it just bent a metal rod and spun it around. I was lucky as no real damage resulted.

Thanks guys. I said it before, and I'll say it again... mad props to anyone who takes on the challenge of making videos. It is very time consuming!
And I apologize in advance if any of my videos entice you to "break the bank" on a new rifle.

Thanks for the video, Michael.
I am curious about the 'no war' statement, or rather learning the nature of those conflicting effects in a PCP. Anyone care to shed some light?
Secondary to that, though still interesting, is understandings how impact is different in dealing with those issues.

Thanks Michael,
A couple questions....
What caliber was the sub moa group shot with??
What shot count does the .30 have at full power?

I would like a better understanding how the Valve for the bottle effects how the main regulator works. My theory is that the valve is playing a role as a rough adjusting regulator so in essence there are two regulators in this gun.
Your Impact was set for 140 bar regulator setting - Full bottle (250 bars/3625psi) set to valve setting 4 assuming will have 3625 psi coming out of the bottle
Max power wheel - valve 4 - 970
Max power wheel - valve 3 - 960
Max power wheel - valve 2 - 835
Like I have state my theory is that there are two regulators in the gun adjusting pressure. With each decrease in the valve the speed decreased which means the pressure being allowed to leave the bottle would need to be below your set reg of 140 bars or 2030psi.
When you change the valve setting does your reg setting change also?
I hope some one is following what I am saying or asking.... just trying to wrap my head around how everything works together on this air rifle

Ronin - if I remember correctly the valve adjuster controls how far the main valve can be opened. I'm sure it works in conjunction with the regulator but obviously uses different principles.

Good news for those of you who are concerned about the ultimate sound suppression. Apparently the telescoping part of the shroud can be removed (unscrewed) and you can add an adapter then install additional end pieces/baffles. This will be particularly useful for those that want to suppress the .30 on high power.

Yes that was my initial understanding but people keep reffering to .22, .25, .30 and i thought i missed some crusial update ragarding the calibers.

Q: The bottle.
I'm wondering if you can replace the bottle on the Impact in the field with a spare precharged bottle? I mean.............you kan schrew it on/off withhout any risk of all the air leaking out?
This I do with my Steyr hunter, and it is so practical. Double your airsupply.

Great video Michael; thanks.
I'm a bit confused by the power you were getting with the .30. AOA has stated that the .30 was getting up to 90 ft-lbs of energy while your max, if I'm calculating correctly, was in the mid-70's. Is this discrepancy because the factory setting for the regulator is 140 bar while the regulator can evidently be safely adjusted to 150 bar? If so, would you be willing to adjust the regulator to 150 bar and repeat the numbers?
Again, many thanks for a great post.

This gun is sounding better and better. I hope that it isn't too many bells and whistles and it all works reliably.
