FX Impact M4 Compact PCP Air Rifle

Description

New to PCPs?

Swedish manufacturer FX Airguns continues to turn out new models, blending power and accuracy into a very small package with the new Impact M4 Compact! Featuring a 500mm barrel and an overall length of just 25″, the Compact only comes up short in one area, and that’s the length!  A stubby 300cc removable carbon fiber bottle is the only other departure from the standard Impact, and still provides a solid shot count despite the small size. 

From a 250 BAR fill, you can expect up to 150 shots in .177, 110 shots in .22, 70 shots in .25 and 30 shots in .30 caliber.  With plenty of energy to accompany those shot counts, you can expect up to 25 FPE in .177, 45 FPE in .22, 60 FPE in .25 and a whopping 80 FPE in .30!  Long time fans and followers of the Impact platform may recall that early versions of the standard size rifle produced about those same specs, with a longer barrel and larger air cylinder.  FX is able to achieve this impressive stat line thanks to the power plenum 750!  Adding 75cc of firing chamber volume and new valving allows for these impressive numbers that simply couldn’t be achieved before this innovation. 

This is also due, in part, to the rear Power Block. While the power plenum stages the power capabilities of the FX Impact, the rear block handles that transfer of power much like a car’s carburetor. FX redesigned the rear block and the valve housing which allows for better airflow, efficiency, and power potential. The Power Block will be especially useful for those who desire to shoot heavy slugs. Those shooting heavy slugs are encouraged to add the FX Impact Tungsten Hammer weight to also allow for higher working pressures.

Of course, the rest of the rifle packs all the innovation the Impact is known for. This includes the AMP MKII regulator, external hammer spring adjustment and valve control. Otherwise known as the new Quick Tune System, this easy-to-adjust system is unlike any other on the market!  The Compact still utilizes the Smooth Twist X Superior barrel liner system, which has proven to be astonishingly accurate. This means you can easily change out calibers and liners. You can even turn your Impact Compact into a standard size Impact if you so desire.  The possibilities are truly endless with this platform!
