FX Halo Ammunition - Say Goodbye To Pellets

[heavy-impact]

Wasn't one of the early excuses due to them stating that the machinery to manufacture them was taking longer than expected? Would that not possibly indicate that FX is in fact making these?
I may be way off base, but that what it sounds like to me anyway.

Corbin is way behind on production. RMR may be the manufacturer of these just like what FX calls Hybrids. NSA is testing a similar design that is supposed to be out before summer.

---

We are waiting for a new type of machine being made that we want to make these on. After we receive this machine and get it up and running we will design and build the tooling needed to make a large meplat slug design. We cannot design the tooling until we get the machine so it will be some time until we can get these into production. We hope to have this available before summer but there are a lot of variables so I cannot give a real time estimate.

Just guessing it’s just the molds FX will develop. The production will be 3rd party.

So, we have a product that for all practical reasons are not available yet claiming it will make a product that are globally available obsolete.

Sounds like typical FX Air Guns marketing BS to me.

FX Halo’s they are terrific, I spoke to the owner of FX, great Guy, very smart, and told him he’s gotta do something to take pellets out in the market.

You know what? He listened to me, cause I am smart, FX can thank me for giving them advice, they are making millions because of me.

I said to the owner of FX, listen, you’ve got to make FX Halo’s great again.

In the video the Halo box looks similar to the type of box that Zan slugs come in with the double-layered, compartmentalized, black-plastic insert as opposed to the the flat, single-layered box with the black-plastic insert that FX Hybrids come in.

What critical component, Kool Aid?

I am thinking when these replace everyone's pellets i will buy their pellets cheap ! I mean pellets will be useless so very very cheap to unload to me ,

P.S. if owners are in California they might even pay me to take the lead out of their state !!!!

I think there are going to be a lot of us standing in line to help those that have forsaken pellets...

I do not mind admitting i am a slug whore, but you will never find me with no pellets in my kitchen cupboards.
Even some in my panno ammo box even if they are outnumbered 2 to 1

3 of the 4 names mentioned by FX USA are South African. I wonder if FX bought out Patriot Slugs and will do the manufacturing there to keep costs down. I can't see the guys with Patriot competing against their own business. Who knows.

“Sorry, Sir. You can’t shoot slugs, this contest is for pellets only”

“But FX told me that these Halos are…”

These look an awful like the 30 cal varmint rounds from yester year. Read an article about a guy that used a super deep hollow point and a reduced power load in his 30-30.
Also between FX slugs and the new guns they released seems like they are wishing to be as close to powder burners as possible. Not my cup of tea don’t take my money.

Swedish Airgun Forum got their hands on some.

Finally, someone with information. Hopefully won’t be much longer. I’m more curious than anything else.

Soooo, FX is having dealers give guys a couple complimentary rocks to get them addicted. Taking a marketing queue from drug dealers. Dang you guys are good!!

 

[JungleShooter]

I appreciate you AGN members linking the video. Thanks.

I don't appreciate you youtubers — who love to waste 14 minutes of our precious time only to inform us that:

● .30cal Halo will come in 44.5gr
● larger calibers will come out first .30 and up
● precision at 25m is "enough for hunting," not one hole, at 968fps

The Unobtanium needed for the pellets is really scarce and deep underground is some third world country and tough to get out of the ground.
