It's an FX Impact .30 caliber. 24 round magazine, 480cc air bottle. FX is probably in the top three brands and cost as much as a quality "real" firearm, around 2K. The cool thing is that in most if not all U.S. states, they are not considered firearms and don't have the same restrictions. Even the suppressor is legal to have shipped right to your door with no waiting. It has different threads, so can't be used on a "real" firearm without modification (which would then make it illegal without proper tax stamp and registration).
They are very fun to shoot for target since no hearing protection required, and it won't bother your neighbors. Also quite capable for Small to medium game hunting. There's even a video out there of a guy dropping an Elk with one (not recommended).
I take it the pellet won't travel as far as a .22 cal ..Like the idea they are quiet ..and can be used in the backyard... I'll check them out ..A neighbor has pellet rifles but not like this FX job.. Only drawback is the price.. But what the heck.. It's only money ..Thanks @ksteem
Well a good backstop, knowing what is behind your target, and safe shooting area still important. It depends on the rifle. Many of the .22 caliber PCP's can easily go into the 900-1200 fps range, which is the same as .22 rimfire ammo.
Luckily there is 12 wooded acres at the rear of my property.. proper back stop all I would need.. wouldn't want to hit or get hit with any kind of pellet.. Thanks @ksteem
