Very nice piece of airgun technology. Wow what a short looking barrel.

I must admit I really like the looks of that laminated CZ... :-D

For sure my first priority now is finish my CPHP inventory then I can pellet test next one (with the M3)...

And the 'another new toy'.... Remember I already used out all my airgun budget in the coming10 years?? :cry:

Very nice gun and collection. I read M3 Impact is good out till 200 yards, not sure if the compact one can do the same.
:

Lot of videos there for ppl using Compact to hunt pigeons out to 100 yards...

And thinking the 200 yards won't be an issue if you want... Not sure for the Compact.

And if needed, It's just too easy to swap barrel for a longer one or rotate the barrel 180 degree to use it for slug or just change caliber..... :eek:

Travis told me if I need to clean the barrel... Just take it off the gun... When he finished speaking, he then passed me my barrel which he just removed from the gun in a few seconds when he was talking... :eek:

my eye balls then rolling on the ground....

LOL I guess I will be waiting for a FX good deal and get it
BTW, Biopod usually add almost 1 lbs, but I'm not sure if you can use those half-pound plastic ones for airsoft.

Great gun! A compressor is recommended, or maybe you are trying to build up your body strength?

Yeah.... Maybe 300 or 400 something strokes these a few days... Didn't feel muscle built up... But only tired... [emoji38]

Trying the 3rd settings, a big change this time as I touched the regs finally...

Hopefully after I settle down with the settings, I don't need to pump that hard...

Uhm "It's a.22 caliber Compact M3. 500mm length Smooth Twist X Superior barrel, 300cc mini bottle"
and looks fantastic shorty

Owning my .25x700 Impact MK2 over two years and some 15K shots, just very recently I decided to try my .25x600 liners, which initially I bought for my Leshiy2.
Immediately noticed that these shorter liners need an extra 20 ish bar to propel the same 34 gr JSB MK2 pellets with same 960 fps speed, but surprisingly less "barrel whip" to be scared about it. I like the easier to tune the harmonics but don't like that the slugs need 155 bars if I would decide shooting beyond 100 meters...
I am very interested to see what Reg (2nd Reg in your case

) pressure you will need ones you decide to come out from your basement :rolleyes:

and don't be scared getting some tan is healthy.
And, when you ready to test some .22 pellets I can save you some hassle.
Start with these and don't bother with other brands (880 fps and up, recommending to try out about 920)
- 15 gr AirArms Field
- 15 gr H&N Baracuda
- 18 gr H&N Baracuda
- 21 gr H&N Baracuda

and for the end is the cream, if you really want to hand pump your lungs out
- 24 gr JSB Monster Redesigned (minimum 950 to 980 fps, anything below won't work beyond 70 meters)

Thanks a lot for the information provided!!

I am actually still having the gun to tune to my liking... The Impact is designed as a high power long distance air powered (hunting) gun. Especially the bullpup stock greatly shorten The total length so you can use those long barrels conveniently~

Same reason... I tried as a 30+ years experienced IT enthusiast and just found nothing regards how to tame this little beast to shoot in low power... Just nothing at all as a reference... ppl are all looking for higher, wilder, maximum, overclocked output...

Emails between FX USA (they are very nice guys and very want to help~ :thumbs:) many times, talked and asked helps for Travis (great service and very nice gentleman too!) too... And The tuning is still in progressing...

But it's showing some promising now~

I will report back and give details if I successfully make the M3 into an indoor friendly target shooter with decent power~

Yes the Impact also the M3 can be tuned for low power. Just look at the Brits what they doin.
With light pellets you can start tuning from 70 ish bars for not more then basement lengths...that will give you an insane number shot count as well. Ones you move out to fresh air a lill "huhhh" will make those ultralight pellets fly all over the place. You already know that shooting into air movement you will need cross sectional density and to deal with it.
