Idk with all These different companies coming out with semi auto guns is there a chance that FX tries semi?
Any thoughts on a FX semi-auto?
- Thread starter Leveleye
- Start date
I’m personally not a huge fan of semi auto I mean it’s fun to have if you can afford to have it yes but practical for most is no not at all. If I’m gonna have a nice accurate rifle I want it to be a repeater. But on the flip side I wouldn’t mind one bit to see a maverick/impact semi

I have been waiting for an FX semi auto since 2015. I'm not interested in full auto. But I find I could sure use a semi auto for raccoons and feral dogs and cats and coyotes. My yard is not a wide open space. It is filled with machines, bushes, trees, old farm sheds and new metal sheds. I get short opportunities for quick off hand shots. And with a semi auto I could double my chances of ridding myself of pests that affect my pets, rabbits,chickens pheasants, corralled calves etc, I have seen some raccoons approach grandkids in this yard during the day, especially the young kits that have already become accustomed to neighbor's feeding them. I'm looking at the western arms rifles in .30. I want something I can turn the velocity down and hopefully use the Halo .30 to deliver wound channels to stop these pests without pass through of the projectile to prevent unnecessary damage. I read the western airguns can be turned down to about 500fps. all my shots range from 10 ft to about 70 ft. the .30 Halo's have a large hollow nose cavity and I hope they will mushroom easily and these pests will bleed out as my shots are mostly snap shots off hand.

FX has made two types of semi-auto airguns so far.
Semi-autos are often inconvenient because they do not allow bullets to be removed when not firing.

It is called the Revolution. A very, extremely accurate semi-auto rifle. This model is no longer made or available in the USA.
I had one a few years ago and although it was accurate, had a decent shot count, it was the most fiddly and tinker demanding rifle I ever have had. The least little thing would cause it to malfunction, mostly it loved to jam pellets for various reasons.
I sold it with the knowledge to the buyer, you may or may not get one magazine through it before you have to tinker with it.
Most likely why they quit producing it. It was a fantastic engineering design at its basic core, as it used expelled air during the shot to work the action.

Yea tell me about it I had a aea assassin that somehow ended up with a whole clip worth of pellets lodged in it somehow. Completely destroyed my barrel literally

The Revolution was craptastic and something that should never have been released to the public.

I still have my Revolution, trouble free BUT you need your wits about you or else problems can occur but as I say if you do everything right they are a dream to shoot, easy handling and super accurate, superb balance with the rear mounted bottle.

Unless they make a semi with the same system as the Huben they better stick with what they have.

My friend Ross had a Revolution too. It was a POS as well. Not even AOA could fix either one and after 3 trips back for repair I demanded something be done. That's how I ended up with a FX Royale.
Maybe a bad shipment??, I have no idea, but this is what happened.

The first FX I wanted was a Revolution. I ended up with an Evanix Max Air .25 in a trade.
Now that thing is a nice little shooter. But a lever action is way better.
I call my Full autos and Semi autos fun Guns. Cause they are fun!
When I want to be really accurate? I don't pull those out.

A mate of mine also had one, he ran into the usual problem of stacking pellets in the barrel but this usually is an operator error, his also needed a reseal early on, mine on the other hand has been my go to pesting and target gun, super accurate.
The only thing I would change is the long trigger pull but really doesn't affect accuracy.
The semi auto action has been great for follow-up shots on the rare occasion that it's been required but I have never used it for quick fire fun
.I might consider an Impact M3 for pesting. As if the accuracy is up with the Revo a semi would not be required.
