It sure is innovative. But as with all innovative things someone has to be the first to try them out. In this case is FX.

The OP is from Europe, he also posted pictures of the leak area, I’m one the least for one but it will be here on the second shipment, I hope this is an isolated issue, I can’t wait to hear comments/reviews from the first shipment owner, If I don’t like what I see or hear I can always get my deposit back, too bad it seems it’s a great airgun!
MY Impact ? Don’t swear in a Church ! 😉
I have no FX guns and probably never will. It was someone else. The AGN sucks !
Another yellow! Lol

A leak? Wow that was least expected. The design really grabbed my interest.

Ville was it you that posted on the AGN about your Impact having a leak? I saw the post and it was removed by the admin. I think Ronnin001 replied but it was gone in no time.
Some quick facts:
It’s quite nice to operate from a bench/bipods. Not as much so when shooting standing up since you need to hold the air tank that is in contact with the shroud due bad threading where the AT threads into the chassie. It looks good in real life. Not like the Super Soaker in those pics – especially the silwer model.
Nice two-stage trigger, as usual on FX rifles
Effortless, smooth cocking
The worst mag yet to hit the FX line of guns. A bad “upgrade” /afterthought of the cumbersom Royale mag. Come on Fredrik !!!
Very easy to change all the parameters ( reg,valve spring tension, size of the “transferport” ) and that’s needed when changing calibers. Good thinking!
One needs to be observant when changing barrels so everything lines up right. Not for idiots!
The accuracy was best (.22 barrel) at 260ish mps. The barrel hasn’t been broken in yet though. As accurate as my .22 Vulcan ? Don’t be silly …
All in all a nice piece of kit with some stupid flaws inbuild. This is one of the first production guns though so some things may change along the way – and should too to be honest.
Almost forgot : It had a mysterious leak when the pressure dropped down to 150B. Leaking systems seem to be mainstream at FX these days.
Would i buy one ? When/if all the nagging flaws get fixed and the price dropped by 2000 SEK ( 250 or so US money) OR a second barrel and bits of your choice added to the deal i could see myself owning one. The thing that really pissed me of was the leak and the AT connection threading. And the damn idiotic Royal mag conversion.
The things i liked was the innovative design behind it, the great FX trigger, how easy it is to tune, loading ( smooth and effortless ) and the .22 size ( just a 1/2″ longer than a Vulcan ) with the Euro shroud on. The telescopic US shroud is something i wouldn’t ever even consider.
And for those concerned about the noise : It’s quiet without that idiotic US shroud so if you have an option get yours with the Euro shroud. That fugly telescope is just begging for future problems with clipping and whatnot.
It sure looks better than the silver model.
The full black model is very good looking

That is true, I really like the idea of changing calibers and be able to adjust for different speeds, If the Impact doesn’t cut it, I’ll be putting my money on a Vulcan for sure.
