- 🎯 FX Impact M3 Velocity Testing: Finding Optimal Performance Across ConditionsWelcome back to Viking Airgunner! In this insightful video, I'm testing the FX Impact M3 at three different velocities to determine the optimal performance settings. This test is designed to help you understand how varying velocities can affect your shooting accuracy and consistency, especially with changing weather conditions.
🔍 Key Highlights:
Velocity Testing: See how the FX Impact M3 performs at three distinct velocities, helping you find the sweet spot for your airgun.Environmental Factors: Learn why your airgun's performance can change with varying weather conditions such as temperature, air pressure, air density, and humidity.Practical Insights: Discover practical tips on adjusting your velocity settings to maintain peak performance regardless of shifting environmental factors.
💡 Why Consider Velocity Changes?
Even if your FX Impact M3 shoots perfectly one day, weather changes can affect its performance. This video will help you understand and adjust for these variations, ensuring consistent accuracy.
📈 Results & Analysis:
Watch as I break down the test results and provide in-depth analysis, offering valuable insights for optimizing your airgun setup.

so many people ask this exact question, forgetting to account for atmospheric conditions and changes
Love this experiment. I’ve always known that weather and bullet speed can affect accuracy, but I’ve never seen anyone do this kind of experiment to demonstrate those effects. Nice job 👍
Thanks buddy 🙂
Sometimes you just do things while you shoot without noticing the actual value, and Ive been doing this for ages, so I just occoured that it would make an interesting video for people who pays attention to the details 😃
Thanks Peter !!
Here in India we are only allowed to use .177 calliber Air guns....so your channel is great source to learn more about my impact m3 .177 calliber....👍
Wow I did not know that, but I guess that we have similar laws then 🙂
Thanks for tuning in buddy 👍😎
Excellent content!
Good to see you back. Always enjoy your video's. Thank you.
Thank you Steven 🙂
Had a bit summer hibernation going 😂
Next video will hopefully not be that long in the making 😃
Ive heard of velocity shifts up to -/+100fps from altitude differences alone, it’s crazy how much of a difference your location and atmospheric conditions makes, especially for these small calibers. Good video.😊 & grats on having a wife who likes your hobby, mine hates every bit of it.
Actually I believe that my wife sometimes fakes the interest to make me happy 😂😂😂 But makes me sure that she really loves me 😃
Didnt know that altitude could that much of a difference 😳 But it just shows that we should pay attention to this, even at much smaller changes 👍👍
@@VikingAirgunner Yeah it sounds like alot, ive been trying to remember where i read it, Airgun Nation i believe but i can’t find it. As for the wife I can’t relate..atleast mine is a great cook though 👍
Great video. It answered a lot of questions that I have been asking my self. puts it in prospective. I also think altitude has a lot to do with it too.More than we think.
Thanks buddy 🙂
Bloody hell nearly missed your excellent video. Keep up the good work Peter
Thanks John 🙂
This whole thing about the right velocity is what has been occupying me for a long time, so kind of a personal video. Thats why it is nice to hear that it is relateable anyway 🙂
Have a great weekend 😎
Yes!!!! He’s back !
Summer hibernation 😂😂
Awesome stuff 👍
Excelente
Thanks for the video Peter. i used your tuning tip with the front valve to remove low starter shots on my .25 M3 25.39gr.
I checked yesterday from cold and got 905, 902,907. An improvement as I noticed some starter shots were 20fps low before. No good as a hunter. atb neil
That makes it all worth making my videos Neil 🙂 SO happy that I could inspire you to get a better experience with your gun👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Peter I got myself a harmonic tuner for my tensioner.its awesome. I tuck the tip about making Mt tensioner solid.mind you I did that a while back...I love it now.lazer beam 😀
SUPER!!! Im very happy to hear that it has such a good effect. And even with the solid tensioned barrel😎
Knowing that it usually takes a while to reach the true potential of a setup it will be exting to see what results you will achive.
Please keep me posted buddy 👍😎
@VikingAirgunner yes I will Peter.. thanks 👍
Godt at få lidt opdatering ven.👍😀
👍👍
Great video again, thank you. One thing I struggle with more than anything is I can tune my M3 perfectly, by following your video guides. However, a day later shot velocity is down and accuracy is off. Not weather related either. Any ideas?
Thank you Nicholas 🙂
What is your setup? Length and type of barrel in particular.
And what ammo are you using? 🤔
The Impact suffers from o-ring stiction on the valverod due a bad design. It means it takes couple of shots before its back on speed. No blame to TH-camrs, but they all keep this quiet.
A forummember on Airgunnation has made a modified part for it, I run it in my Impact and the problem is gone.

@@NickGled Tinkering is the fun part 😃 Im happy to hear that you solved the problem. Can be quite an issue to locate em 😜
Have a great Sunday 🙂
@@VikingAirgunner PS My perfect FPS is 988 to 997, from a 500mm STXS with 13 gr Zans. I can go up to 1009 FPS before accuracy starting dropping off, guessing due to barrel length/type, and anything less than 980 and accuracy reduces too. There are 2-3 sweet spots below, but this affects how far I can shoot. I'm only shooting 65m but regularly having groups of 12mm and hunt rabbit up to 100m with no problems. I'd know none of what I do to get this without your videos. FX should pay you for "enjoyment amplifying".
@@NickGled I think you should write them and suggest that 😃
Funny thing is that barrels can be different and setup will affect harmonics, so a velocity should always be seen as a guideline 🙂 All that matters is what works and feels good to each person 😎
I got a bit freaked shooting my Two yesterday, the 13 grain Zans was shooting pretty darn well at 1020 FPS, but yeah the sweet spot is a bit lower.
later in the day as clouds and rain got near and so light dropped i changed to 50 M and even disposed of a few beast pellets i had in surplus, at 50 M the 13 gr Zans was just lasers at 972 FPS.
Much better than the KO at the same speed / setting
Mind you at 86 M they was also fine, i killed 1 fly and i am sure if flies have hair on their ass i removed those on another fly.
Also killed a few flies and a small spider at 50 M, and cut countless blades of grass
From 10 in the morning and until 7 in the evening i was one big smile,,,,,, yes when i shoot i SHOOT A LOT
That is fantastic news!! Usually it takes a while to find the true potential in a gun, so it seems that your have found a great gun.
Very happy for you 😎
@@VikingAirgunner Yes it is nice, ATM playing with the 13 grainers, next outing i will be more serious with the 16 grain Zans
13gr seem to run well from 910 to 1020 FPS. but somewhere in there is the sweet spot, and i think it is not far from the same speed my Maverick like to shoot the same ammo.
Going shed building and of course shooting again Tuesday, and will probably again spend 2-3 days at my friends place.
Have just ordered sekmet gauge for regulated pressure,,,, and HUMA regulator.
And more 2" targets as i seem to have been burned 2 times with targets now.
First on aliexpress with targets with no splatter effect, and the replacements i ordered in Finland, well i heard nothing since June 3 when i ordered.
So i might have to take the drive back to Randers if Huma and Mundilar have stuff in the mail for me Wednesday.
but i gladly do that for shooting hardware.
And of course a pitstop on the way at the Kiosk in Bjerringbro for a nice old school ice cream in a cone.
Is it using a heavy 700mm stx barrel or a 600mm master polygon?
Im very happy to by back to the 700 mm heavy liner 🤗
@VikingAirgunner is very accurate
Hey peter , can you provide the community group of .177 owner, i want to join it...
