I happened to see this, are there really 68 0-rings in an Impact M3. Wow that is a lot of o-rings.

My impression was FX is "o-ring heavy" and Edgun is "o-ring light", with the other manufacturers occupying the middle ground.

I think the RTI guns are going to win the Less in the O ring department, When the impact 1st came out I thought for sure they would start building a gun with less O rings but no , They stuck with the complex design of the most complicated air gun made, I am still scratching my head WHY? If FX is so PCP savvy why not build a simple impact.

I wonder how the Panthera compares? I have two impacts and can probably strip and rebuild them in 40 minutes.

Whereas the BRK ghost has 14 seals in it. Less than 4 times fewer.

The panthera/dynamic is fairly easy with the exception being the plenum seals and the seal around the valve seat can be tedious to remove and replace. Other than that, it's simple.

What is so complex about the Impact? I strip the gun, sonic clean all the parts, and fully reseal within an hour.
