This is not an article just an FYI for those who like air rifles for varmint and small game hunting and consider the benefits of having 1000 rounds in your survival kit for under $10. I have not even put this in the gun section, just wishin to point out this carbine.
I'm not even going to try and persuade anyone of the benefits, I just wish to point out the FX Impact is bloody superb its basically a PCP ( Pre Charged Pneumatic) AR15 style carbine and everyone I know who have tried it LOVE IT especially my friends who also own AR15 / AR4/ Bushmaster and want a Rolly Royce class Air Carbine in their armoury.
The Impact
Every so often there are leaps forward in technology that forever
change our perception of what is possible. The FX Impact is
such a phenomenon and has permanently pushed forward the
boundaries of what to expect from an air rifle.
This all-in-one air rifle has been engineered to satisfy the
most demanding airgun shooter with high-performance features.
The Impact is completely adjustable: air valve control, hammer
spring tension, and even regular adjustments can be made
externally to allow for various shooting scenarios.
The Impact now incorporates the new FX Smooth Twist
X Barrel which is a fully rifled barrel liner. FX’s proprietary
process of imparting the inner rifling of the barrel from the
outside of the steel tubing, is an outstanding upgrade in
airgun accuracy. This Smooth Twist X Barrel is housed in the
Interchangeable Barrel Liner System allowing the shooter
to swap and change barrel liners of various twist rates, bore
specifications and more; all to tailor the barrel to different
projectile sizes. The breech and barrel assembly also incorporate
a quick-change system that allows for any of the four
calibers (.177, .22, .25 or .30) to be used. All that is required
is an extra barrel and pellet probe for each caliber.
Other notable features of this bullpup include a unique
match grade trigger system that does not rely on connection
rods or linkages. The smooth side cocking lever is placed
perfectly above the trigger to allow for the quickest possible
follow-up shot. This high powered and tactical, yet lightweight
and compact airgun is a sensational piece of cutting-edge
technology. With all these features wrapped into one rifle,
the FX Impact will continue to be the benchmark for air rifles
worldwide.
NOTE: Energy stated in the info is maximum possible energy. Due to differences in regulations the rifle might be set to a lower energy, from 7,5 Joule and up. Contact your local dealer for more information.
