Any guns mentioned are fine just save some money for a way to hold air and to fill gun , any gun can be shot at 100 yards ,It is probably 30% gun and 70% who is behind gun .I think when mot of us are asked to give advice some of us give what we have moved up to after many years where we got to be better shooters then entry level guns . But even an entry level is fne if it is all we have., I think an Fx impact is best suited to someone who has experance and the ability to fix it , if not it may be a bad buy The gun needs alot of attention , as most of us who fix our on guns may think everyone can do it , you have to work up to this level . I think an impct is great shooter but do you guys really feel it is a good choice to someone who doesnt have a compressor a tank and , know how to repair it ? It can be costly to send a gun to be fixed for a oring leaking , their may be a much simplier gun until everything in his skill set increases , I have seen many buy a 2k impact just to be fustrated with say a leak and $100 to ship it back and then time to get it back . where as most who own them in 30 min or less can be back out shooting , this is something to seriously think about , more then seeing others pop golfballs at 200 yards .it may not be as painless .
I have been to long range competitions where a person with a $500 gun beat many $10.000.00 custom guns , Put in time to be a good marksman and don't be sold on advertising , I think many gun manufactures who advertise in controlled conditions and on a solid bench is not what you may get in real world . But with practice anyone can be stupidly deadly with proper training .and a few thousand rounds pactice.

. It's just my humble opinion, but I would still contend that most shooters would be happier and likely more successful a higher percentage of the time at 100 or more yards with a 25 cal assuming the guns are of equivalent quality/accuracy. Obviously mileage will vary with the shooter and what he or she is shooting.
