Best Airgun in World ? FX Impact M3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2023
- A touchstone review for my probably short-lived foray into airguns, here's what many consider to be the best airgun currently made. The FX Impact M3 and follow on upgrades is a super quality, powerful, supremely accurate air rifle that competes with .22s. No joke.
In extended testing we learned the platform well and were highly impressed with all its versatility and capabilities. Entry price is steep and I'm going to have fun with this in the intro. But I will circle back and put the question squarely where it needs to be, NOT cost BUT value.
Much shooting of the Impact M3 in my preferred .25 cal will be shown, sorry no killing of animals here. But lots a fun toy boat shooting, steel targets, in field accuracy testing out to 100 yds and a lot more. Conclusion will be drawn in this feature length air gun review and I will rest my case with the data presented! Brought to you by TNP Donors. They bought this gun for review.

Great video Nutn, I’m sad to hear how poorly the airgun content has been received. I’ve enjoyed the new POU’s they’ve opened up.
I bought the .25 M3 for all the reasons you explained. I shoot it about a 100 times more often than my high end 22lrs.
A lot of firearms owners don’t understand the value of airguns because they’re too close minded. Hopefully these videos will change that in time.
I am loving the airgun content! Fantastic review of the FX Impact M3. Keep 'em coming!
Challenge accepted. 😁We’re going to get you to 200k as you’ll love what this is doing with slugs. Awesome review with great info. The airgun rabbit hole goes deep so strap in 👍👍
Very glad to see you doing airgun content now! 🎉
It is the best out there. No doubt. I get "the price is rediculus" 'comment a lot and you explained it so well. I'm sharing your video.
I am so thankful for these airgun vids!
Excellent video I just got my M3 in 30 from UA last week. About to do a review as soon as I get the scope mounted
GREAT vid Nutn! personally i have been stuck on .177 break barrels for decades with good vermin extermination. OMG i love seeing air gun tech and options, Great Vid!
Hey Nutn, love the airgun reviews. Grew up shooting them for HOURS lol. Still into it
These high power .22 airguns might be no good for defense WROL, but there's something to be said for shooting urban park squirrel from the back seat of a car across the street when meat's hard to get.
The opportunities for airgun use on the farm are really huge. Non disturbing varmint control option cost effective over long term and just plain fun.
I have two highly modded FX Impact MK2s. I have them set up as slug guns, and love them! One is in .30 cal, and one is in .35 cal. They have never failed to drop whatever animal I have aimed them at, and their ability to hit small things from far away is absolutely stunning.
I work for a major gun company and own several firearms. My truck gun? It's my Impact MK2 .30 cal. Sure, I have a pistol as a backup, but I love that Impact!
Great to see airgun reviews in the Project, I hope there's many more to come.
I love the AirGun topic! It's another tool for the tool chest.
I have also grown up with bb guns like the Red Ryder and pellet rifle the old Benjamin pump and on, then turned to powder burners. I now have had my FX Impact M3 .22 Compact and it is a blast. It will set you back about 3k for the rifle and a 300 bar compressor (hand pump is not fun). If powder burners are outlawed then this or a crossbow could be a home protection option. Oh, and I have put a Sightmark 4k Mini night vision optic with a Sniper Hog Lights IR light. As far as is it worth it, YES. It is fun letting friends and Family shoot it and watch their reactions. Thanks for another great video
Someone said i knew the bunker was an RV. Shout out to you Sir.
Nutn I’ve been airgunning for a few years now! The capabilities are awesome. I’ve got my .22 / .25 / .45 pcp rifles and they are great. You can also seal off some cheap arrows and launch them through that .45 bore and that’s a type of fun that’s hard to replicate
Nutn, that intro. I think you're finally losing it 😂 Love it!
Airguns are a ton of fun! I haven’t made the jump from break barrels to pcp’s, but you’re making a compelling argument!
Whole different animal. Break barrels pose awesome challenge, because technique is demanding. The pcp i got, avenger, hole over hole no matter how I hold it, more power, its the ultimate shooter for fun. It's accurate to the point of being boring almost, as is so predictable, but I'm still not bored lol. The break barrel with a buddy is challenge accepted, but pcp vs break barrel, there's no chance. Pcp wins every time. :)
Man i was on breakbarrels and once i got my first pcp its was a jump in everything sure it cost alot cause you will need an air compressor and a diving bottle but its worth
Keep up the good work Nutn!
South African here, yup,. 22lr ammo is expensive, IF you can find it. Ive got an air rifle. 22 cal. shooting 16gr pellets. I shoot it x 20 times more than my. 22lr. Air rofles keeps me shooting at this point. Saving LR ammo. By the way, small pistol primers are non existing from January, so pistol shooting is also down to once a month...
Oh, and if you dont get the 200k views, get slugs anyway, its crazy what these guys do with 34gr slugs as you mentioned.
Air guns are super useful. Great intro for new shooters. Can be more stealthy. WIDE variety of ammo.
Have a M3 my self in the 35cal. Going to get some more barrels soon. It is the most shot gun own. Cheap and easy to shot and quite so no hearing protection or people over hearing and coming to ask questions. Have had a fx impact mk 1 before this.
Most that hate are people who have never shot one. After someone shots mine they love it. The price is high but woth the cost of ownership after the first buy in being so low it makes up for it in a year with how much I like to shoot.
Please keep up the air gun reviews nutn
Have you tried any of the portable air compressors?
Great video 👍 thank you!!
i love air guns! been wanting a big bore like a .45 for hog hunting. there's a dentist here that has a sweeeeeet one and he took down 6 hogs in a field before the rest of them figured it out and bolted. it's ballistics are very close to a subsonic 300 blackout.
Have this and it is awesome. I have it in .22. I have it set up that I can shoot 18g pellets at power wheel 1, 25g pellets at power wheel 8 and 30g slugs at power wheel 16. All in a very similar impact zone so re zeroing my scope is not really necessary
Will you review a R.A.W ( Rapid Air Weapon) they are hand built in Tennessee
I've found the h&n supremely consistent, making a great value option considering price. The hunter extreme seems to work well in most barrels. I've been using slugs for going beyond sonic. Skirted pellets like 900 fps range, slugs get better trajectory at range and speed.
Also I regret not getting 22 over 25 because of hunting regulations for my first system. Check state laws
Love airguns ...Bowe, cross bows and airguns are all we are allowed to have here in Spain. So content like this is awesome
By the way, it is a Cerakote and the bronze is the same price
Love the airgun content. I haven't taken the leap yet but have been looking into it because there are so few options available for target practice with firearms here. Thanks for the info.
I won't drop the "hammer" on the air rifle until I figure out how to refill it and the associated costs. GX PCP Air Compressor Company makes reasonable priced air compressors that fill the rifle directly, avoiding the "scuba bottle." Its a toss-up between the 12-volt GX CS2 or 12-volt/120-volt GX CS3 model. Any thoughts?
I own the GX 18v version and its been great, I fill both a FX impact M3 and a Maverick on a weekly basis with no problems. I probably have well over 20hrs run time on this compressor with no issues. It will fill either gun from empty in under 15 minutes and top off in under 10 minutes. Hope this helps!
Where do you get the slug liners?
Whats the durability and longevity on parts for something like this? Id imagine the seals/tanks/etc have an expiration date. That's the main thing keeping me from looking to far into the vertical...
I don't know why the claim of air stuff getting low views. It looks to do better than watches and other things, and you keep doing those.
Hey nutnfancy. I love air rifles bro. I have the umarex origin for hunting small game and the sig mcx virtus for recreation. Both in 22 cal. ✌️
I have the Zeus 72 cal gen 2 and its insane
Any 22mm watch band recommendations for that don't soak up dirt and can easily be washed? I keep getting poison ivy dust in my watch band and turning my wrist into rotting zombie flesh at work.
Greetings cowboy. Can I suggest u get ur hands on the new to market RTI MORA? .22 cal, or .25 cal. With 600mm or 700mm proper barrels. Can shoot x long slugs with big bc numbers...(altaros). Do a direct accuracy comparison with m3 👍
Mine M3 is heavy modified. ST toprail, ST but stock, 800mm tension kit and tungsten hammer. Fully adjusted for 2 slugs only 40Gn and 25Gn. And topt it off with one sexy FOX600 over barrel suppressor. And man the groupings are small and tiny.
I love your videos. Just 2 grand is a heck of a lot for an air gun. You can get a great 22 super accurate and more capabilities for that.
2 grand is a lot but you also don’t have to spend that to get a awesome Airgun. I have a regulated Benjamin marauder I paid around 500 for that is awesome. Pellets are cheap and I can shoot in my backyard all day.
It's a good solution for countries where fire arms are illegal
Love the air gun stuff
GREAT VIDEO! you need to try a RTI prophet in .25 is simpler and super easy to tune. Is a lot cheaper than the FX and same cuality
Super nice bro, ENJOY! Thumbs up video ~John
I am so happy I said fux Ima go for it. Being someone that has alot of firearms I was really debating spending the money when I could get a so called real gun. Na I use the air gun so much as ammo is fairly cheap . I have a donny FL emperor suppressor and call shoot a 30 cal in my back yard looking out over woods so I get to practice my shooting fundamentals, and get real time practice using a scope properly. Then the fact that I can stack pellets at 150 yards on top of each other it's unreal accurate. You start feeling Like your a damn sniper lol
I'm fking watching it.
Cause Fx3 impact is insane.
Kool A+ tyvm 🤠👍🏻✌🏻
You can tell a pellet is loaded in a Wildcat by attempting to engage the safety lever. If it moves all the way into the safety position, there is a pellet in the chamber. If it is unloaded, the safety will only go half way back. I found this by accident. Ha! Not sure if the Impact is the same, but it's something to try. FX does need to improve this. I have also read that it is bad for a PCP to be stored with no pressure in the tank.
Very cool! But not for me, I personally will stick with 22's. Looks cool, fun and all but Ehh!.. As a fan of Nutnfancy I watch for the content and even if it's not what I'm into, I support this channel.
Unfortunately if you live in the UK and don’t jump through hoops to get a Fire Arms Certificate the FX Impact MK3 is the air gun equivalent of a Porsche 911 with a VW Beetle engine😢
But it it worth getting a so expensive airgun in UK? Dont you have power restrictions on airguns?
13:25 The prolonged sequence of shooting into water ends.
I own an impact. All I can say is that I can shoot everyday on my back porch. I could never do that with my powder burners. That plus the pride of ownership are big reasons to own.
wait wait.
You're getting 1000+fps on the crown mark 2 with 40grain 22?
Yeah, looked it up. 920 max rated on 22 with Crown Mark 2.
What sets the Impact M3 apart is the fine adjust system for maximum tuning while doing precision shooting. Having worked with Matt Dubber doing video's and watching him shoot this rilfe for 3 days straight, the justification has to be more in the "i want all the features to get the best possible that I want from what this gun can do" vs the Crown mark 2 which is "I want a really good air rifle that is high quality without all the fluff, and I'll take my 1moa groups without problem"
Whooops, knee jerked a hair there on the pause button with Nuttin comparing it to the Crown.
Its totally a POU thing with the Impact vs other guns, or even the new Panthera. Which I'm hoping to get to try here soon. FX is building powerful rifles to push the limitations of air guns, and when you can grab the FX Impact M3 and get 22 long rifle ballistics from an air gun, its absolutely insane.
300 yards with Impact is easy peezy for these guns when setup properly and your gas system fine tuned, and that's the whole point of the Impact and the Panthera which is built more for competition, not bench shooting. But if you wanna sit at 100 yards and put shot after shot in the same hole, you want the Impact.
Love my FX
I love the air guns I bought the air Venturi
Ammo is not hard to find
I just got mine in .30 and it rocks😎
I'm starting a penny jar for one.
These check allot of boxes off.
Been a fan of airguns since the early '80s when my brother gave me a Benjamin .22 cal.
I enjoy checking out newer technologies whether I need it or not. Keep the reviews coming.
I have a wildcat mk3 compact bt
Airguns are alot of fun.
I have an fx impact m3 .357 but I wish I got the .22 🤷🏻♂️ The .22 is very accurate, but the .357 is a deer killer so… yeah.
It's just a big paintball gun, I used to tune my autococker and was a pretty similar process
best small game rifle post SHTF
1.77-360 shots per fill 5.5mm 330 shots 6.35 or 25cal 160 shots per fill 7.62 105 shots per fill and 9mm about 45 shots all this stated by FX not me ill go with the sniper 7.62
None of your links work down below I thought you should know 👈
agree
I want a tnp hat
I would never say it's a rip-off. HOWEVER, I just have different priorities when it comes to dropping $2,000. I'll go get full battle rattle for that, and feel that I've spent my money more wisely.
Air guns are dope.
dude crown mk 2 and impact is almost same price
That's a sweet BB gun
🎉
FX isn't the only PCP.
So a 22 bullet is too expensive, but $2000 plus air rifle is not. What?
Listening to NutNFancy giggle :)
But what does it do that a $60 Walmart watch can't?
It's a statement piece. I'm definitely a watch fan. My dream watch is an Omega Speedmaster moon watch.
I love the look, and how it's an automatic. I also am a space geek so sense its predecessors went to the moon it really grabs me. Would take it even over a rolex.
But let's be honest it's stupid expensive at 7k. It's basically men's jewelry with a function. Definitely second kind of cool. But I will own one someday.
Walmart watches are fine for keeping time more expensive looking watches are for saying something.
Nutn do some live shows.
DUDE, using the light weights in .22 can reach the same FPE in .177, .177 manufacturers have pellets up to 16gr n slugs over 20 grains. That's. .22 power in .177 ! Don't you count .177 out the game. 😢
I’ll watch.
You got a good deal for your ⌚️ and I'll bet,You've got a good deal for that air gun too. But we don't? And yes, that is too much for me, I think i for that price I'm going to buy me an AR
Some of us are watching. Lol
Do you ever heard about lead polluting water ?.... kind of disappointed coming from a man claiming regularly that he is an outdoor enthousiast
100$ or less for a watch
I used to feel the same but now I have a Garmin Vivoactive 4 and can listen to downloaded music and podcasts via Bluetooth as well as track my trail rides and adventures at the touch of a button with an option to email friends and family my progress and location. I dropped $260 on it a few years ago and have absolutely no regrets. If it broke today, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
Guess I'm nobody
Hahaha 😂
Lol
For me it’s Nerf or nothin!
I want an airpew to take deer and hogs with so i don't think a .25 or .30 cal is powerful enough for that bigger game.
Nutnfancy: kiss method, also Nutnfancy 2 minutes later it's complicated and technical.
I have no desire to ever spend that kind of money on an air rifle, but I watched all the way through to support the channel.
