FX Impact hammer weight discussion for slugs

[Montana_Airgun]

Hi all,

What are you all thinking about the hammer weights when tuning for slug shooting? I have found out that the original hammer weight does not get you the wanted speed for pushing heavier slugs. I have found out that getting the 54gr range slugs to be pushed hard you would need to have a hammer weight that does not exist at least at this time and age. I have tried the Tungsten hammer, but you would need to push the regulator pressure in the range of 160 BAR and up to achieve the desired results.

I have made 2 videos on it to discuss futher on my findings.

If you have access a lathe..... it is a snap...
The main body is made from tungsten, the skirt that is threaded on is made from Stainless
