Looks good to me, a very portable and light gun which for sub 12fpe would only need the 300cc bottle to give epic shot counts, sound ideal for hunting, but probably not the right gun for target shooting. In saying that, you could probably tune it at under 12fpe to give good consistency which it seemed to lack a little in the high power testing as the Daystate Wolverine looked way better on that front in the graphs they showed.
Cheaper, and less complex than an Impact? Got to be a good thing

Every gun released by fx is using us as testers. Shocking concidering how much they ask for their guns and how every model released has had problems with cocking or leaking. Id never concider buying an fx.

Sounds ok, hopefully it's all been sorted before being released, otherwise more bad press for them.
Got 4 FX, but not one was bought just after the model came out - would have liked a mk2 wildcat, but can't justify it, as got the vermy and the cyclone in multi shot, and both of them are 'keepers'

I thought that same thing until I spent a few hours with a Crown, wow what a rifle and a match for anything Ive owned over the years, it was so nice I bought it and its proving very good indeed to be honest, very light, huge shotcount, extremely accurate with either the .177 or .25 barrel. Ive just bought a wildcat on the strength of itOriginally Posted by WILBA

Its a shame that so many shooters knock the Impact. Fair enough they are a complicated design but having owned both a Mk1 and now a brand new Mk2 I have personally never had a problem with one. Believe me, I have gotten through an awful lot of shots with no issues. I would comment that the newer barrel and regulator appear to allow additional levels of accuracy though, as a couple of friends also having bought the new version would agree.
The Maverick is obviously a hybrid between a Mk 3 Wildcat and MK2 Impact after a drunken liaison on the town. I like the idea of two regulators which will obviously help to reduce the loading on an item that has to manage from 250 to about 60 bar air management wise. Yet another member of the ever growing FX family to consider. Well done FX!

Not sure i would ever want to buy a FX they look nice but they perform terribly , i will stick to my old Falcons and Titans thank you and a few others to lol

That's a bit harsh, both my FAC MK1 .25 Impact and FAC Mk2 .22 wildcat are superb.
One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

So you’re saying that but never owned one ?

On what basis have you drawn this conclusion? A few threads on forums? As already said the Mk1 impact did have issues - 4 or so years ago......the later ones are generally sorted.
well said.Hmm. Someone doesnt know their arse from their elbow lol....
Can you give examples of every model having problem with cocking and leaking? Having owned 4 I can honestly say that that I haven’t had the same experience.
There’s a lot of generalisations in this thread. A bit like daystate of old....please move with the times and support one of the few manufacturers taking our sport forward!

Well said I have a 22 and a 177 Impacts flawless at least they are giving Daystate rest
