FX Impact .35 Caliber: First Look & Pellet-on-Pellet Challenge!

https://youtu.be/aVK8tVC3kco

The FX Impact .35 just got here and I decided to drop everything (to include a planned Turkey hunt) and head to the range to do some early testing and give all you air heads a chance to see it in action. Of course as soon as I set up my shooting range a big group of Turkeys walks right through. At least I know where to set up my decoys now tomorrow! HA!

So first impressions of the FX Impact .35..... WOW! Just WOW! Even tuned down a bit to hit that sweet spot of 850-865 FPS (135-ish FPE) for best accuracy with these 81 grain FX pellets, this thing is hitting like a TON OF BRICKS! I will be playing with the velocities a bit to tune the FX Impact .35 for best accuracy, but right out of the box this thing is ready for medium to smaller large game hunting!

The FX Impact .35 cal 800mm barrel is helping give this platform HUGE power potential and paired with the new MKII power plenum it has AMAZING air efficiency. That longer barrel and the bit of a kick, this .35 monster is making the platform like a bit of a firmer hold in the shoulder pocket. After just a few magazines, I got this thing putting pellet-on-pellet and decided to make an attempt at the weekly Airgun Nation shooting challenge to hit a pellet with the same caliber of pellet. Super fun challenge - check it out!
 
Turkeys aren't gonna like that beast!

So I owe the crew from FX USA big time!!!!! I’ve been skunked every single day Turkey hunting and took the day off from hunting on Friday to do the FX Impact .35 first look video. 10 mins into my shoot and that HUGE group of Turkeys walks through the range. I can’t shoot them with a rifle here in Michigan - has to be a shotgun or archery gear. So I set up the next morning EXACTLY where I saw them through the Element Titan scope camera and BAM! Got the biggest Turkey of my LIFE with the AirForce Texan .410 shotgun prototype I have been testing from Lethal Air. Notice the pine tree I am set up under is the one you see out in the distance in the FX .35 Impact video. So FX and Element Optics gets the assist on that Turkey hunt! Check it out...

looks sweet, competes with .22lr that’s for sure. Is the 9mm just a barrel drop or is there different guts inside the rifle besides the power plenum? 


Only difference is two small hammer weight spacers and a softer return spring. Those will be available in a month when the .35 barrel kits start arriving. (May even be included with the barrel kit, working with FX Sweden on the details)
