FX fx impact m4 first 10 shots are slow

Jump to latest Follow Reply
As a fx owner. This is very disappointing on a 2k gun. You guys go and buy a notos for $200. The first shot to when the reg fell off is less than 10 fps spread. Crazy how an $200 gun is more consistent and doesn't need extra parts from oversea or taking gun apart and cleaning. Smh. Dont trust me, go and buy a notos. It doesn't have this slow 1st or 2nd or 10th shot. All shots are within 10 fps even if you leave it overnight. You don't see anyone complaining about notos slow shots cause it doesn't have it. Mind blowing. Lol

Here's the update -

-After letting the rifle sit for 4+ hours yesterday, first five shots were: 872, 885, 884, 885, 885 (normal is 895'ish)

-After sitting overnight, first five shots were: 854, 870, 869, 880, 883

I wouldn't say that the cleaning/polishing process completely resolved the situation but definitely brought it back to what I've known as "normal" for an Impact, which is a slower first/second shot. This is essentially how most/all of my Impacts throughout the years have behaved. It's not ideal but 99.99% of my shooting is inside of 40yds so this isn't a huge consequence for me.

However, this is the first Impact that I've had to put in extra effort just to get it to act "normal" (which, again, "normal" isn't exactly ideal) so that's disappointing given that it is the latest/greatest model. Also curious to see if/when the issue will rise up again and when I'll have to clean everything up again.

You’re good Yen. That’s about the best it’s gonna be. I’m also guessing you are on a pellet tune so like you said, not the end of the world for 40 and under shooting. Low plenum pressure makes a difference. But you can’t have too low of a hammer strike. It has to be spot on.

Where this issue bit me was at the time, all my Impacts were sluggers with FX barrels. Those barrels are harmonically sensitive and it was blatantly obvious that until the gun warms up, it’s not going to be harmonically on point. And they weren’t. Had to try to fix it and is eventually why I got away from their barrels. Now I have some leeway to land that first slug at distance on the money.

I have send a message to Airbuks (he works now for FX, doing the YouTube videos for FX), showed the part @mubhaur made and explained him what it does. Also explained what the current flaw is of the FX part.

He responded, letting me know that he has forwarded the information to FX, and they are reviewing it.

I normally send all my YouTube videos related to FX IMPACT to Frederick .
