IMPACT M3
The FX Impact defines what a modern airgun can be. A rifle without limits. It is a once in a generation rifle. A rifle that advances and evolves to push the boundaries of what compressed air can achieve. The Impact M3 once again redefines this high standard with ground-breaking advancements, upgrades, and a sole unwavering focus on creating the most advanced, most accurate, and most capable airgun youll ever shoulder.
The improvement within the M3 start with its dual regulators. The 1st regulator pre-reduces the air pressure in preparation for the 2nd regulator. This provides less stress on the 2nd regulator and achieves a more constant output pressure with less standard deviations.
The FX Power Plenum 720 is the new energy source of the Impact M3. This larger diameter plenum and its 72cc volume of compressed air provides both the precise amount of air and the power needed to propel the projectile. This new plenum works in coordination with the M3s porting and valving to deliver the best power and efficiency available.
One of the most substantial upgrades to the Impact M3 is the user interface to the rifle: The Quick Tune System. This essentially tool-free system encompasses everything a shooter could use to fine tune their rifles accuracy, allowing unlimited possibilities. Adjust the air pressure the rifle is using via the dual regulators, how long the valve stays open with the front valve adjuster, and now adjust the strength of the hammer with the completely redesigned micro and macro power adjustments. The Rear Macro Power Wheel is a 16-step power wheel that adjusts the strength of the hammer in increments of 5-15 FPS (depending on calibre and reg pressure). This works in conjunction with the Micro Fine Adjustment. This tunes the hammer strength in incredibly small increments of just 1-2 fps with each click of the barrel roller, all at your fingertips. The combination of these is unrivalled in the airgun world!
Other improvements are vast and include an ambidextrous short throw cocking lever with enlarged handle, dual transfer ports on most calibres, tightened barrel housing tolerances to provide a tighter fit and better accuracy to the rifle, tightened breech tolerances to house the Side-Shot Magazine, an updated trigger that provides a crisp second stage break while also allowing the trigger post to move forward or back, 20 MOA built into the scope rail, Dual Wika manometers, and an abundance of forthcoming optional accessories.
The FX Impact is firmly seen as the greatest airgun made. The proof is undeniable. Shooters flock to the FX Impact, competition lines are dominated with the presence of this rifle, and shooters continue to expand what an air rifle can do with one rifle; the FX Impact. Why? It performs, it delivers, and it continues to provide the foundation for innovation. The FX Impact M3 advances the claim: the FX Impact M3 is the most advanced, most exciting and most accurate air rifle available.

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
Section 1 Firearms Licence
Section 1 firearms are Rifles, FAC Shotguns and FAC Air Rifles. FAC Air Rifles are Airguns with a muzzle energy greater than 12 FT/LB (typically these guns are post fixed with the letters FAC).
This category of licence covers a full range of sporting calibres from .177 FAC Air rifle up to the largest centrefire calibres for target shooting.
To own a ‘Section 1’ firearm, you will need a Firearms Certificate. This is issued by your local police in much the same way as a Shotgun Certificate, but you use a different form and the questions are more probing. For a Firearms Certificate you need to specify each of the guns you want to acquire, and explain why you want them. For every gun you wish to purchase and own you must have an empty slot on your licence, also referred to as a variation.
When buying an FAC gun it’s the user’s responsibility to ensure they have the correct variation on their licence, this will include the type of gun and the designated calibre.
The police use specific criteria when they decide whether the calibre you’ve requested is suitable for your intended use. So if they deem your choice excessive or not suitable for the terrain or game, expect it to be refused. Usually it is a good idea to discuss your plans with the local Firearms Enquiry Officer, this avoids wasting time and money pursuing a route the police will not sanction.
With a Firearms Certificate it’s up to you to provide ‘good reason’ for wanting each gun, and show that you have somewhere suitable where you have permission to shoot. The police will check out the land you specify, to ensure you really do have permission to shoot there and if it’s appropriate for the type of gun you are requesting.
With your Firearms Certificate application, you will need to provide details of two people willing to act as ‘referees’. As with a Shotgun Certificate, they must have known you for at least two years and be people of ‘good standing’ in the community. The police have some discretion in how they interpret ‘good standing’, so if you have difficulty finding someone suitable who knows you well, do ask for their advice. The referees will be asked to fill in a fairly detailed form about you, so make sure they are willing to do so before putting their names down. You will also have to provide details of your doctor and authorise the police to ask questions about your medical history.
Like a Shotgun Certificate application, you will receive a visit from the Firearms Enquiry Officer who will check the details of your application and inspect your security arrangements, which must include a lockable metal gun cabinet secured to a solid wall (not a partition stud wall) or floor. Remember that unlike shotgun ammo, rifle ammo must be stored securely and separately from the gun, so you will need a separate, lockable box big enough to accommodate the ammo you plan to buy. Before installing cabinets it is worth checking with the police that your intentions will meet their criteria.
It’s rare for a Shotgun Certificate to contain any special conditions about how and where you use your shotguns, but with a Firearms Certificate there will normally be conditions that specify what and where you may shoot for each gun listed on the certificate. These conditions normally follow a prescribed form of words, to be found in Appendix 3 of the Home Office guidance document referred to previously.
As with shotguns, you are responsible for keeping your rifles and ammunition secure at all times, so you need to take sensible precautions when travelling to and from your shoot, as well as during the shooting day. There is a Home Office publication, Firearms security: a brief guide, which you can download from the Home Office website.
If purchasing a gun over the phone or via the internet for dispatch to a third party gun dealer, you will need to send your certificate to the Sportsman Gun Centre. We can then complete the legal process before sending the gun. Legally your certificate must be filled in by the selling party before the gun can be handed over.
