mark williams 7,549 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I was watching Hot Air on you tube the other night and the Impact was under discussion. Lloyd, from Blackpool Air Rifles was saying that he has ceased selling FX as they were getting all sorts of complaints over the Impact. One of the biggest complaints is that the Impact was breaking down repeatedly on any one of 16 seals that it carries. atb Mark 1 Quote Link to post

I spoke to ASI technical dept just after the prick made his statements about the fact that he won't sell the Impact guns, they advised that all but one of the guns returned (6) had been messed with by people trying to tune the guns and only one had a genuine fault which was a seal. The other thing was that he voted the Impact as rifle of the year, not that his thoughts are taken seriously anyway after all anyone having Tony 'the idiot' Belas as co host on his wonderful little youtube slot needs their fecking head looking at or even watching them perform.
