FX M4 impact issues

[greenbeans]

been there the ghost can't even shoot slugs so 2k for a pellet gun.

Have both love both. if I would put half the time and money I put in the impact into the ghost it would shoot slugs with a custom barrel. lol… shoot slugs through the stock liner the impact comes with and show me how well it does… FX sells you (and me) a straw for a barrel to allow for cheap change of TR but I’d rather pay $200 more and have a proper barrel…

Brother, most people criticizing FX guns here own or owned multiple. The frustration is that FX does not fix well known issues over multiple generations just because they get away with it through pushing their guns in a, nicely put, slightly optimistic and omitting presentation by their “sponsored” (i.e., paid) influencers. Plus their lack of QC. Look at what happened to FX USA, should tell you about the company…

And while I understand that someone relatively new to the hobby might not like to hear that they fell prey to these tactics and see their new 2k plus toy depicted in anything but the most gleeful manner, it’s no personal attack. We’ve all been there and like our FXs for what they are. Stuff that needs fixing. And a ghost, for example, does not need fixing. But its barrel can’t shoot slugs so if you want to shoot slugs with it get a custom barrel. There, fixed.

The guy that sales the screw replacement for the impacts here on the forms man does that man have some sweet looking rigs!! I spent way to much time looking and fantasizing on how to get his setups and have his variety of guns!

Favorite toy syndrome. The trigger is often set super light. Just gotta shepherd the sufferer into a safe space.

lol, safe space… Maybe this will help: The new trigger in the M4 is actually a masterpiece (to me). Love it, feels completely immovable/static until you give it the slightest squeeze, which is followed by an ultra crisp break.

To be clear, I’m saying that the trigger on the guy you responded to is set a little too light.

Hahahah yeah I gotcha. Just wanted to help creating the safe space with a positive comment about the impact

I watched dissasembly vids and never owned an FX, based on what I saw. Clearly designed with tinkering and for tinkering with functional performance taking a backseat, but tinkering is not an end in itself.
The best part (choice) is no part, and the best process is no process, even if and when modularity is a worthy goal.

There are those who can tune, maintain, customize, and shoot an FX Impact with accuracy and precision and thoroughly enjoy doing so ...... and then there are those who simply cannot.
