The FX Impact M4 is a modular pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle designed for shooters who require precision, adjustability, and platform versatility.

It is part of the FX Impact series and represents an evolution of the Impact system, offering refined air management, external tuning capability, and compatibility with pellet and slug shooting configurations.

Key differences include:

This platform is designed for tunability and precision rather than simplicity.
