BRACE FOR IMPACT

This August, the FX Impact M4, the latest version of Sweden-based FX Airguns’ flagship model, is set to be released. Introduced in 2015, the Impact series has been consistently at the forefront of airgun innovation, setting standards for power, accuracy and customisability. The new M4 aims to advance this legacy by further enhancing the technology and performance of this well-established rifle.

ENHANCEMENTS IN MECHANICS

The M4 model introduces several internal enhancements, starting with the replacement of the standard AMP MKII piston with a brass piston that allows for faster refresh rates, increased consistency and operation at higher pressures (up to 170 BAR). These changes, combined with an upgraded regulator and a larger 750 (75cc) plenum for FAC users, increase the rifle’s maximum power to an impressive 156 ft/lb in .35 calibre with selected ammunition and power kits.

THE DUAL REGULATOR SYSTEM

The M4 continues to incorporate the dual regulator system, an innovative feature that reduces air pressure through the initial regulator before it reaches the second. This system reduces stress on the second regulator and enhances output consistency with fewer deviations, significantly increasing the M4’s shot count to 500 shots per fill in .22 and 475 shots per fill in .177 for 12ft/lb models.

THE QUICK TUNE SYSTEM

The Quick Tune System, a key feature of the M4, enables precise adjustments to the rifle’s performance. This virtually tool-free system allows users to modify air pressure, valve timings and hammer strength, facilitating control of performance to within 1-2fps.

INTRODUCING THE M4’S NEW FX QUICK SET TRIGGER

The M4 features the new FX Quick Set Trigger, an advancement over previous models and possibly the finest trigger mechanism ever on an air rifle. This system provides adjustable trigger weights, enabling quick transitions between a standard pull and a light, crisp break to suit various shooting disciplines.

BOASTING ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND ENHANCED USABILITY

The M4 also boasts a significant upgrade with the UG1 Grip, an ergonomically designed grip with an enhanced palm swell and precise contours for improved comfort and control, making it one of the most user-friendly rifles currently available.

In response to the demand for heavier ammunition from FAC users, FX has redesigned the high-capacity magazine to seamlessly accommodate both standard pellets and heavier slugs. Additionally, the M4 features a 30 MOA extended Picatinny rail that allows adjustable positioning along the top plate, enhancing flexibility for modern optics and eye reliefs. An integrated dovetail on the widened top plate adds stability and rigidity, offering more options for optic mounting.

SET TING THE BENCHMARK IN AIRGUNS

The FX Impact series has been regarded as one of the finest airguns on the market, leading competition lines and pushing the boundaries of air rifle capabilities. The M4 model continues this tradition, securing its position as the most advanced, accurate and exciting air rifle available today.
