I like FX, the Royale was the finest airgun ever built in my estimation. I've not had too many others until I recently bought a Dream Tac Compact, and it is fantastic. I have read a lot of bashing of FX and really didn't know what to think of it. I kind of have the "uninformed" opinion that they are moving way too fast in bringing new guns to market. I base that on the "look around" theory that no one else is trying to do it that fast, and don't seem to have the amount of problems, just my take, could be wrong. I like FX airguns and will buy an Impact soon.
As to the reviewers, awh, I don't put too much credence in their reviews. They're mostly shills for the manufacturers. I wouldn't expect them to report on problems most of the time. I think it's a shame, because I'd rather them tell the story and how the manufacturer handled it. That would make me feel more comfortable about the company. On the other hand, I can see how an absolutely unreal problem can pop up and the manufacturer take care of it and know in their hearts that it is HIGHLY unllikely to ever pop up again, and not want to put the bad vibe out there. I will admit, that those times would be extremely rare. I just use most reviews to get a look at a gun, see how it works etc. I don't listen to their patter all that much, so I really don't care what they say or do.
