Hi all, recently purchased a FX Impact MK 2 .177 sub 12ft which I love but I am trying to understand the different pressures as shown on the gauges. Front gauge no problem fill it up and it shows the bottle pressure. It's the rear gauge which is reading about 40 but I have no idea what it should be or how/why it would ever go up to the 200+ possibilities that the gauge can register.What is the optimum pressure for the regulator? Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid question but I cant find this info in the manual or from FX website. Keep safe.
Front Gauge is - as you say fill pressure of the bottle.
Rear Gauge is the Regulator gauge. As your rifle is Sub 12, it's factory set via the Reg Adjuster ( just behind the trigger ) and the reading is the pressure that the regulator is set too. Most Sub 12 rifles run lower than high power / FAC - these run sometimes well above 100 and I have set my Crown up to 170 at times. FX use the same gauges for both high power and sub 12.
All is as it should be. ?
Daystate / Brocock and others all do the same.
Optimum pressure, can vary slightly by rifle / settings / would suggest you check your FPS - once you know your FPS then you know how your set. If its factory set, works and your knocking down targets, best advice is don't tinker.
Hope that helps.

Wot Giles said.
40 bar on the reg is what gives you a mega shot count and you should be able to shoot until your air bottle drops to 40 bar also
so its a win/win set up.
you should get a chrony though and make sure you have a good FPS spread
I have the FX radar and its ace - I dont leave home without it.....
