If you were a beginner with PCP and were considering the M4 like me, and you didn't already own the M3, would you get the M4? Couple of things *seem* better, such as the grip angle and the magnet holding the cocking lever back. I'm not keen on the copper look, but I don't *actually* care about that.
@NunchucksHabit if you have the cash to burn. Will it make you shoot better? Probably not. If anything, it's probably slightly more powerful. I added the hogue grip, extended rail, and a 300 bar tank to my M3. I'd go Western Rattler next time. That pcp comes out of the box fully juiced.
Looking forward to mine arriving in the mail from you. In the interim, obviously geeking out on YT videos 😂 I was already toying with getting an M3 a few weeks ago, so I was excited when the M4 dropped on basically the same day I made that choice. I dig the new changes and glad it didn’t change too much. Anything could want is already made for the M3 and will work. Don’t break was isn’t broken. If you’re going to makes huge fundamental changes… create a new model!!! The N1 🤪
Hello there Joe just seen your channel, you sound like the man to ask? Im in market to get my 1st FX like get wildcat mk3 bt vp on the fence to get .25 or .30 if there big difference in loudness i like get .30 I have Donny fl one Emperor one Sumo. Would wildcat mk3 in .30 with one my susspressors be Backyard friendly? I do have a .25 air avenger bullpup which is shootable with donny fl sumo its loud without. I have a bulldog 357 and donny fl Emperor moderator. Thanks any info, suggestion. You have Wildcats instock ship Michigan
Hey, I’ve been looking everywhere for a Umarex Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Blowback bb pistol .177. You don’t by any chance have one in stock or know of a store that does? I would like to get one for my channel. Thanks!
Oh wow, the new M4 is beautiful...I still can't decide between the ED Gun Leshiy 2 and the Impact now M4...can't figure out which would be the better day/night hunter...
@@ryantyler2882 the L2 is a thousand dollars plus more. The way for you to know. Do you want semi auto or bolt action this is how to answer your question. If you want the L2 just wait and save up. If you want bolt action it’s two thousand. good luck
I saw Rick at Shooter 1721 shoot a 22 caliber FX impact and it penetrated 3/4 in of wood at 400 yds. I'm going to purchase a FX impact Mark 3 with a 600 mm Barrel,slug power kit and FTX Barrel. The question I have is will this 30 cal be as accurate and also be able to penetrate 3/4 inches of wood at 400 yd or is the slug going to be too heavy and lose too much energy at that distance?
@@surreallife777 68 Whisky shoots 30 almost exclusively. Might find something relevant there. I've seen him smoke a pigeon at 352. I can't imagine it wouldn't being that it's likely putting double the energy down range, and even if it didn't, double energy is still being absorbed into the target.. which if you're hunting is kind of the point. Over-penetration is wasted energy, and if you want over penetration, shoot harder lead and/or Non-hollow projectiles. It's like a 9mm vs anything that starts with a .4 in pistols, or FMJ vs Ballistic tips in rifles.
It's really funny to me when things are supposed to be better, they come up with dumb ideas, first was electronics who has batteries with them in the field oh wait I'll carry them, now let's add magnets so they pick up metal particles, and now three triggers really what about muscle memory???¿??? Please get some really upgrades
@@zzep69 because options are bad? Hunters and bench shooters can use the same platform, but are looking for different things and don't have to throw extra money to get them. Would you also be pissed if you bought a truck that standard got 35mpg, but also had a screw you could take out for free in 3 minutes for 250 more horsepower to tow your boat over a mountain pass when you went on vacation, then switch it back after you got home for daily use? Yeah, that would suck. If you dont like it, buy another product. I'm sure there are thousands of sport shooters that love their Daystate battery guns which they can push 1 button and the gun is perfectly retuned in second for a different projectile and/or application. They're not headed into a zombie apocalypse with it. Buy a springer or something if you're looking for that.
Wondering if a 700mm+ barrel is really necessary or convenient for < 100 yd shots. Anyone with FX Impact M3's have a specific caliber preference? I want to future-proof it by getting as much FPE as I can but I want it quieter than a .22 rimfire. What caliber is your preference?
Get the 700 for what you’re asking for it to do. I have a compact in .30. If you push them for slug power they get loud and jumpy out of the short barrel and still won’t get real high fpe numbers. I start getting hesitant to back yard shoot mine after 75fpe. Shorter barrel is better for pellets and lower reg pressures.. and at least in the Maverick (what I have), they ship with pellet liners in the shorter guns (I have a slug liner). A 700mm .30 at similar velocity to what you’d get from a hot 500mm (or shorter) tune will sound like a mouse fart in comparison, have a better shot count and will be more accurate. 80fpe with pellets is about silent… Tink … WHACK!!! You can tune a 700mm .30 (950/52gr JSB Knockout) to match grade .22lr like energies (104fpe) and still have a dang quiet gun with a good moderator. Joe can correct me or more likely probably back me up on this.
@@JohnHowerton223 Thank you for both your replies. I'm considering the "FX Impact M3 .30 Cal Sniper - 700mm Barrel" as my #1 pick so far. 124 FPE, but I doubt (at least for now) that I'll hunt anything with it. I'm unfamiliar with how to tune these rifles, but I get the concepts. I'd be mostly target shooting indoors and out, but would still get a slug liner for variety if nothing else. While I'm sure there's some noise involved in .30 cal going 900fps+, I can't get a suppressor since they're illegal here in Canada, but let's just say I have it sorted. I'm going to be getting a really nice scope for a hunting rifle, which I'll put on this one during the winter. I would love to hear what FPS, group sizes with which pellets/slugs, and of course, decibel readings, if you have them. Always looking for real-world data. Appreciated!
@@NunchucksHabit man, you guy really need to vote out a lot of clowns up there (not that we’re doing much better). I live in a now .com-me state, hence the interest airguns. That diseased group think is spreading faster than ever now with social media. What about guns with some baffles in them like Benjamin Marauders or I think Air Venturi Avengers? Maybe Umarex Gauntlet, which I have zero personal experience with. They both shoot amazing for the money and TONS of accessories/mods for them. You could likely get both to shoot hybrid type cupped slugs well or at least the new Monster JSB Hades & Exact. Def get a longer barrel if you want the power and quieter. Airguns pushed hard with air escaping out the end of the barrel (wasted air) are very loud. Bigger the caliber, louder they get. Should be plenty of YT videos out there. Don’t have a lot of bench rest type data for you. Basic concepts in general are: Keep pellets in the 850-890fps range to keep groups tight, heavier grains can be on the hotter end. Pellets can also be shot slower. Slugs are 100fps faster than that. Benefits of slugs are mostly seen after 100yds. Infatuation with slug is an ego thing. I love them as much as the next guy 🤣 Pellets are probably better for most shooters. None of these things above are gospel. When you find a projectile that shoots really well, that you like, tune it up and down a little bit to fine the sweet spot. Happy shooting.
Here's a question why is there no price competition in airguns? The firearm industry is very competitve. When every retailer sells something for the same price that's called collusion. How is everyone skirting the law?
@@TacticalJackalope there's price competition, just not among the dealers of the same product. Price protecting products is extremely common. Most high quality products do this. It's in dealer agreements etc.., protects the dealers, dealer network and the product name. Look at nice scopes, they're pretty much the same price everywhere unless getting closed out. iPhones, shoes, etc.. it's all over. FX is competing with RAW, Daystate, etc.. and they are winning that price point to value game. Going out on limb here, but if you look at the huge marketshare and market demand that something like Air Venturi probably has with the Avenger, then you see FX come out with a DRS at kind of goes after the user looking for that type of gun, but with FX sex appeal, that's FX competing for that money. Or the Benjamin P-Rod sales that likely took a beating when the Umarex Notos came out. Plenty of competition out there!
Just like these non upgrades, WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN COMPUTERS, TABLETS AND CELL PHONES ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SAFE YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION, DEFUND YOUR POLITICIANS
