Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the FX King air rifle more rigid than other models?

The FX King features a thick barrel with the air plenum integrated around it. This design provides significantly more rigidity compared to airguns with thinner barrels, reducing the risk of bending and maintaining zero even if the rifle is leaned against a surface.

How can the FX King be tuned for quiet operation?

The FX King has adjustable power dials that control the amount of air used per shot. By adjusting these dials, users can tune the rifle to subsonic velocities (around 800-880 ft/s), which eliminates the loud 'supersonic crack' and makes it suitable for backyard use.

What is the typical accuracy of the FX King air rifle?

The FX King demonstrates impressive accuracy. At 25 yards, it can produce tight groups within a 1-inch square. At 50 yards, with a subsonic tune, groups are still very good, typically measuring just over an inch, making it effective for pest control.

What are the key differences between the FX King and the FX Impact?

The FX King has a more traditional rifle profile with a thick barrel and plenum around it for rigidity, whereas the FX Impact is a bullpup design. A notable difference is the magazine placement; the King's magazine is under the optic, requiring taller mounts, while the Impact's is behind the optic. The King also lacks an ARCA rail.
