FX Whats the point of the FX Impact Compact?

I've noticed that many people are opting for the compact version and then adding a moderator to reduce the noise, effectively making it the same length as the standard 600mm barrel.

However, this approach also means sacrificing some air cylinder capacity, which could end up being more expensive in the long run than simply purchasing the standard model from the start.

Could someone explain if there are any other factors that might influence the decision to choose the compact version over the standard one? It's worth mentioning that the compact model doesn't come with a moderator when purchased new, either.

I think it depends on the individual’s primary use. Personally, I would consider a compact version just because it can get crowded in a blind with two people, gear, and other guns. The compact would allow less clutter and make it easier to adjust to get into a good position in a tight space. I can also see this being beneficial if you are hunting varmints out of a truck bed with a camper shell and want to shoot out the sides and not only the back. With the Impact, it seems you can always swap out a barrel and a tank if you want another option. That's the reason I am so interested in the Impact because it's more of a modular platform than just a single gun.
