FireKnife Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Shame Airsoft World doesn't have any spare mags in. They almost got me! Don't do it, think of the children, won't somebody please think of the children!? Plus I am tempted to go and fondle the shop model that they have so you might be getting the one I stroked and nobody wants anything I have stroked .

FireKnife Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Now I just want it more. Then there is something very, very wrong with you . Though I might pop by this weekend coming and see what it looks like, not buy it just see. 'FireKnife' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Just ordered the Azimuth RMR mount from WGC. This might be what makes me keep the FNX.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Really, will it be enough? Personally I have had some bad pistols but this just seems to be going far too far. How much was said plate extra (lets ignore the fact you got it for almost half price) on top of the gun which ideally it should have come with? 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 $20 which wasn't too bad, was ordering some other stuff too so it wasn't the end of the world. We will see how it goes, even if it's just as a show piece it'd be nice. Especially for half the price! Haha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XON50 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I got mine today. Very impressed but it is not a perfect gun. Biggest issue is the right mag release works about 40% of the time. I'm a right handed shooter but I can see left handed shooters be annoyed by this since it's supposed to be ambi. The other ambi controls work well. The gun itself is gorgeous. I've owned glocks, sigs, 1911s, usps, and none are on par wiith the FNX. I picked up an FNX mount with RMR set from JK army, I will post updates once I install it. I also have the ace1 arms osprey for it as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I still have it on pre order at WGC. And they promised next batch at the end of october. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vildtyr Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) A couple of accessories arrived today (from China) Now I just need to make myself a holster for it Edited November 14, 2014 by vildtyr 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XON50 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 A couple of accessories arrived today (from China) Now I just need to make myself a holster for it Was it easy to take the plate off the FNX to mount the RMR, vildtyr? I haven't took mine off yet cause my mount and sight hasn't arrived but I keep hearing its extremely difficult to take off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L2E Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Pro tip; Use dental floss to get under the plate to lift it up! From Swedish airsoft on local forum.

AG1212 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I finally got mine! I love the look and the feel of the thing, recoil is nice balance between heavy and snappy, holds a *suitcase*-tonne of gas. I haven't any range to test it on so I can't comment on range and accuracy. It uses the 'w' style hop, so not sure how it'll fair... Only niggly issues I have: The slide and barrel are wibbly-wobbly, and as-stated the right slide release doesn't work. The slide release is made of a flimsy metal that just bends under pressure, and the right slide release is under more pressure so that makes sense. An aftermarket steel replacement would probably fix it. It does still feel nice though, polymer is guarder quality and has a good heft. My main 'concern' now is if it'll cycle with an Osprey. On the AirsoftGI vid it seemed to do just fine, but I tried cycling mine while putting pressure on the end of the barrel to simulate this and it stuggled. So far I'm happy enough with it. Is it worth it at the cost of a TM? Personally I'm not fussed with TMs, they feel meh and their performances aren't as good as the hype (I own G17 and 1911). The FNX has almost-as-snappy recoil, much more fun to shoot (and that's with a metal slide). Yes it's wobbly, but I can live with that, my G17 is getting that way too after use. So far all I can say is that if you want an FNX, get an FNX. If you want performance over feel, authenticity etc. get a TM. I'll do an in-depth review after a few months and games-worth of use.

DeltaZero Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 How many times do I have to say it? It will cycle with an osprey just fine. A little more sluggish but nothing major! Would be good to hear your thoughts after a few games worth. I've still not played with mine, think it's going to end up on the market i will be honest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AG1212 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh? I don't remember reading that when I skimmed the thread Is it the Osprey with the ''power up'' barrel? Curious if it could handle the additional weight. The FNX is my favourite RS, so I'll be keeping it as long as it doesn't have any critical failures...only time will tell. Now to save up for Osprey and RMR, and spare mags, and a holster.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Huh. My apologies must've been in the other FNX45 News thread! Yes, it's the osprey with the "power up" barrel. Although I removed the power up inner barrel as it's really not needed and I'd be worried about how the suppressor inner barrel meshes with the pistol inner barrel!

AG1212 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Total Number of Rounds: 200~ Wear and Tear: Superficial wear on the barrel, chamber and rear of the slide where it meets the rails of the lower. Efficiency: 3 Mags Worth of BBs with no cooldown. However on the 3rd mag it failed to chamber a round about half way through, no further hiccups. On the 4th mag of bbs, cooldown was evident at round 12. Again, half-way though 1 bb failed to chamber due to a low powered shot previous. It still managed to fire all rounds on the 4th, however slide did not lock back. I'm going to assume for now that the failed-chambering is a break-in issue, I will see if it worsens or persists. Misc: The mag is a bit wobbly, a tiny bit, which annoys me, so I added duct-tape. Did this with my TM Glock so I'm not too annoyed having to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
