OK, on 6-30-2022 I bought an FX Impact Compact in .25. This has the 500 mm barrel. On 7-11-2022 I bought Element Optics Helix 6-24X50 SFP, APR-1C MRAD reticle. Just to be clear I am ecstatic with this gun. I also purchased a DonnyFL FATBOY moderator. In the past I have had a Cricket, Vulcan, FX Wildcat, Edgun Leshiy classic and until recently an Edgun Leshiy 2. Can’t say a lot bad about any of them but there was always something that bothered me and I kept searching. I did not want the FX Impact because it looked like a large monstrosity with way to much tuning. I admit my mistakes and this was one. The FX Impact Compact .25 is not overly large or heavy and when it arrived I was shocked at how small it was compared to my thoughts. So I started to do some reading and settings and adjustments and started with the 95% tune although I did change it a bit. Now for the obligatory stats. Settings are as follows
Front Valve is 4 ½ turns out (and that is the maximum mine will physically turn out)
1st Reg 150Bar which came from factory
2nd reg 100Bar ( I adjusted with ball end Allen key very easy
Macro set at 16
Micro set at 3
JSB Exact 25.39 Pellets
880 FPS for 43.7 Ft. Lbs
Changing just the Macro and Micro
My current settings for accuracy and sound
Are as follows.
1st reg 150 bar
2nd reg 100 bar
Front valve 4 ½ turns out
Macro @ 8
Micro @ 2.25
JSB Exact 25.39 Pellets
816 FPS for 37.5 Ft. Lbs.
At this setting I get 100+ shots
300 cc tank filled to 245 Bar and shot down to 115 Bar.
Now just some notes of issues I ran across.
My front valve adjusting knob has 4 lines and that’s it. I have read where adjustments have been made out to 6+ but that was confusing to me because a turn is not from one line to the next and so I would think the numbers should be 4 lines + X amount of turns. At any rate MY gun will physically screw out 4 lines and ½ turn before the knob is stopped by the back end of the shroud.
Now I read where the pellets like speeds closer to 900 FPS. I do a lot of backyards subdivision shooting and my settings are great for 25 to 35 yards. Can’t question the accuracy. Also just by changing Macro and Micro I am 880 fps and near 44 ft lbs. I think some of our sub 12 ft lbs friends would be happy at those settings.
