Title: FX Impact question
Post by: YEMX on April 02, 2025, 06:57:36 AM
Hello all, got a question for you.  Can anyone confirm, one way or the other, about any kind of damage that can/has occurred due to using a tungsten hammer weight, and the other power tuning parts?  I thought I read about possible stem damage?  But I'm not really able to find any info about it.  I just wanted to confirm.  I'm interested in hearing from Impact owners, unless you have a link to a post directly talking about this particular question.  TIA y'all!!

  I have the tungsten hammer in my M3 and M4 from the get go with no issues.  I do not run my airguns maxed out  The M3 is a .22 shooting the 31.2 grain NSA at 1000 fps and the M4 is a .25 shooting the NSA 34.9 grain @1013 fps. 
  My Dynamic 600mm .22 shoots the NSA 28.5gr @ 987 fps.
  I haven't had any issues with the Tungsten hammers.  The hammers are the current weight not the heavier early Tungsten hammers.

Ah!!  Excellent!  While I'm not trying to MAX out my rifle, I do think the heavier hammers will help me tune the gun for this shorter .35 barrel.  It's VERY good to see that there's nothing wrong with running the heavier Tungsten hammer.
