We decided to drop this video a little earlier than planned, since we will have some Gen 2 sample packs available at RMAC. The .22 cal Gen 2s are on their way to the US as we speak, with .25 and .30 coming soon!

I’m a physicist that did my masters on the magnetohydrodynamics of the solar wind hitting into the earths magnetic field. Tons of super interesting mathematics used there that were built on the aerodynamic physics from the 60s. Fascinating to see the same effects in ballistics. I’ve watched your vids since 2018, and you’ve finally convinced me to get a proper airgun (Maverick) and some of your slugs to take to my local range. Thanks for the content, love seeing the tough math and work that goes into new product development.

I’ve been on board since 2014 after pigeon paradise pt1. I’ve been watching and seeing this whole thing unfold over time. All I can say is that I have so much respect for Mat and everyone involved and what a privilege it has been to witness it. Congratulations guys.

Looking to this guy history, he started educational series, excellent ones, then runs a business started with doing ads to FX airgun, then developed Element scopes and the remaining part was a slug and here you go a complete airgun business cycle. But he makes ppl happy with latest tech and done his own busniss right. Clever guy and Thnx Matt.

I'm really glad we have people like you spearheading this industry. I bought a couple FX guns not because they're awesome but I want to be a part of the bleeding edge growth that you guys are bringing to the table

I dont know Matt. If anyone else had made a film about something that seems as mundane as airgun slugs, I doubt I would've been able to make it to the end. I have to give it to you, you are a fantastic filmmaker, editor, writer, teacher... the list goes on! Thanks for using your God given gift to its fullest! I highly enjoyed this (and every other) video!

Totally enjoyed this "documentary" and very excited to get my hands on some .25 Patriot Javelin slugs. There has to be a point reached where a slug is a slug is a slug and its exciting that the industry isn't there yet. There is certainly a lot of effort that goes into manufacturing such high quality product. It puts me in mind of custom benchrest centrefire projectiles. Outstanding guys, truly outstanding.

fx and everyone that shoots fx air rifle should be thankful to have you guys at the front line of advancing our future.. thank you!!!

brilliant news, I have been waiting for Patriot .25 and .30 slugs since the first .22 Javelins came out - well done - hopefully Giles at airgun 101 will stock them asap.

Nice to see your focusing on the .25 cal guys , and all the work you've done. Thank you 🙏

Passion, talent, and dedication. What a perfect storm. Great work guys!

This is the best video I've ever seen, awesome quality, the structure, and its content: 👏👏👏. This changes the whole industry , just exceeded my expectations; this is mind blowing.

As an American, I can lay hands on just about anything in the world of firearms, but these new FX rifles are on another level. To be able to shoot .30 slugs out to 150m is incredible, and they still have energy at that range! It is a testament to all of your hard work, and I almost dare not ask if you will be stepping into the 9mm and .357 projectiles next. Here in the US, people still think that airgun = BB gun, and until they shoot one, they dismiss it out of hand. What I’m excited for next is to see what an air pistol can be with these projectiles.

Really waited for this video. I admire you guys a lot specially Matt and Roelf. I so badly wish for Javelins in .177 cal cause here in India anything above that is not permissible. Anyways, it was a pleasurable hour with a chilled 🍺

Congrats to all but most especially a heartfelt and excited "bravo" for your tireless work toward making something good into something much better. Thinking back over recent years I have seen so much change for the better in our sport and the majority of that change is because of your influence. Thank you for that. I am currently shooting Javelin 26gr gen-1 in .22 out of my Wildcat MKIII BT and cannot have imagined for better until I saw this video...!!!! That is Vision! Be blessed with all that you need.

Great video. Thanks for all the work that you guys put into the product for us Airgunners. I was shooting the 23 grain Javelin slugs out of my FX Impact M3 in .22 caliber with the 700mm barrel at the 235 yard steel plates, and the 300 yard steel plates consistently. Thanks for such a great product. See you guys at RMAC next week.

Beautifully made documentary brother. You guys are so passionate about what you do and that's why you guys are so great at it. Keep it up.

Great to see there are still good people out there that care about what their doing!! Keep up the great work, and I will continue to support with my money!!!

Thanks a lot and congratulations to the team for all the hard work and how much you share.

I can’t wait to get my hands on your 25 cal slugs. I am a FX air gun owner times two.

A Wonderful success story. Innovation with a passion for excellence in design and production. Look forward to using the slugs.

Congrats Matt and Team! It must be such a huge sense of accomplishment to have seen your collective efforts work out so well and yes, I think the next 5 years will offer more challenges and open even more doors. Cheers`;-)

Incredible all the science and technology involved; Spectacular video; very, very good... Congratulations Matt. 🇧🇷

I watch all your videos. I'm amazed how far fx has come along. It just keeps getting better. Your commitment to excellence is at a level unmatched. One day..one day I'll be able to get your .30. Until then I'll sit back and continue enjoying your videos.

I’m so thankful for you guys!

What happened to that guy Gerard? I thought he was a partner when you started the Patriot shop?

well done matt and team ...... awesome result

Thanks guys for putting together a very informative video. Never realized how much work, passion and effort goes into developing a slug. Looking forward to trying them out.

Excellent Matt, congratulations...Your drive and passion is inspiring

I was subbed to you from pretty much the beginning on my other YT account, then kinda lost touch for a few years. You've been busy! Very impressed with FX's attitude towards their products. It must be amazing to be involved in something with such enthusiastic people, doing something meaningful. I hardly need to state, my next rifle will be an FX!

Amazing work guys. In all aspects. Obviously in the design and manufacturing of new slugs and barrels but.also in tis production. I've always enjoyed Matt's videos and knew he would be at the top of your industry and spots. Thank you

Wow what an awesome success story in my home country. Even more reason to support these guys!!!

What a really great video program. I thought it was going to be a bit boring and wasn’t feeling very sleepy so thought I’d watch it. I was pleasantly surprised, it was very interesting and really showed off all of your talents. Proving if people have an interest in things and want to work together as a team and get along well together it can be done. Obviously you had some great testing facilities and help along the way but well done guys. I’m really impressed I will have to try and get a fire arms certificate if I want to shoot any though. As here in the UK we’re held back from shooting air rifles unlike most of the rest of the world to a measly 12ft lb or 16 joules. Without a FAC, but it does give me an incentive to try an obtain one so I can get a more powerful PCP and use your fantastic slugs. I enjoyed watching, thank you.

Brilliant work Matt and team keep going.

Can't wait ! Really looking fwd to the 22s and 25s!

Awesome guys😃👍. Keep up the brilliant r&d work. Proudly South African 🇿🇦

Thanks guys.

This video is 7 months old at this time and .22 cal is everywhere there is a quality airgun shop. I wish the .25 and .30 would get to the US soon. I feel like a kid staring out the window waiting for the ice cream truck to drive by. This is a fantastic video and I wish all of them the best.

Excellent, so good to see how you guys worked out the whole thing. I remember my first 'Windbuks', swapped a go-kart with pram wheels for it. Thanks guys.

Loved watching the video!! Well done Matt and Roelf. I love shooting Javelins. Affordable and really easy to get. And they are very accurate. Cant wait to test the new Gen 2!! Well done guys and good luck for the future.

Congratulations for 500k 🎊🎉 Keep going 👍

This documentary is worth watching ! loved It . THANKS Roy Pauline

Congratulations on 500k subscribers 🔥

Great slugs. Javelin 64s are one of my Maverick’s favorite food.

Very thankful for your amazing products and this amazing video of it coming to life. Mahalo for sharing this.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

WoW incredible groups!

This is the magic bullet (slug) design that will open up the Airgun world . Keep up the development guys !

This gives me the warm and fuzzies. So many great people and all South Africans!!!!

WoW! Just...WoW!

Incredible work as always Matt! Any insight for future possibilities of developing a .357 javelin? The big bore field is RAPIDLY expanding and may be a market for it?

Just epic quality !! Bravo 👌💥

SO MUCH BRAIN POWER HERE! VERY COOL PEOPLE. THANK YOU!

Exelente trabajo los felicito, saludos desde Argentina

Thanks guys for all your hard work. Watching my local store. Good vid BTW.

Good luck Matt, Ralf and Patriot team. Waiting to test the .25 doing some target shooting here in Colombia. Regards.

👌🏻Great stuff patriot team!👍🏻

What’s interesting about the air gun genre is that it really shows more of a study on accuracy and speed with slugs which can later on help the powder-gun community

Very well done gents.

Spot on.

This is sooo good Matt!!

Congrats to you all will be looking forward to trying the gen 2 .22 in my crown continuum

What a Brilliant vidclip, well done Guys, Super Interesting .... Was great to see Hein there, being a retired 'Engineer', Toolmaker, CNC Machinist .... etc .... and being ex Krygkor, was Really a Blast from the Past ..... :-) :-) :-) Groot Groete uit New Zealand

Great video! I've been asking for .30 cal Javelin slugs! Can't wait to put some groups down range!!

I can’t wait to get my hands on some 25 cal javelins!

Yes it's not just about awesome air weapon advancement but the ammo it shoots and the accuracy that a tuned rig can achieve.

Great job guys👍

I love that you are sharing this information. Great production quality on this video too. It will only advance and further the airgun technology. My "old" AirForce Condors are laser beams inside 50 meters. And I have no practical application, but I want to get your Gen 2 slugs and tune them to use those. Just for the H of it.

amazing video guys. im proud to have you guys as my teammates

Love this guy i'm Indonesia 🇲🇨❤️

How flipping amazing. Wow!!! So crazy how you guys made this develop over such a small amount of time.

Love ur videos keep up the good work

Hope the best in your up coming rear ported velocity designs

it does worth to watch times and times ... I produce 21 & 22 & 26 grain slugs for .22 cal in my garage and I learned a lot from this video . EXCEPT FOR RAW MATERIAL & ALLOY !!! moulds and machining as well !!!

Just collected mine can’t wait to try these, and hopefully the 800mm gets here soonest!!!

Mantap master,dukungan penuh buat master😁👍

So will my impact m3 standard superior liner in 25 cal shoot these slugs well. Love what you guys are doing thanks 😊

Congratulations on hitting half a million subscribers

I'm always watching ur video,,,,,ur my fan,and I like it....great job....

I'm not even that into airguns, but still found the video fascinating

So looking forward to the 0.25 slug coming out and send them down the FX wildcat BT sniper

I love this video Matt! The information, quality, and editing is excellent (couple little audio issues but I can overlook that...for now :) ). I am curious as to why the .357 slugs never get any love? Are the .357 air rilfes just not in enough demand, due to inaccuracy, or some other reason?

It is beautiful video and I enjoy very much. Please keep us enjoy. From t2bkk channel in Bangkok Thailand

Fantastic information video guys, can't wait to see the results of both .25 & .30 slugs in normal hunting conditions. By the way, do you see yourselves entering the .177 slug manufacturing line as well? Congratulations on a wonderful product, best of luck in your endeavors

This is absolutely awesome. Next challenge is a non-lead version.

SO COOL 🥰

Making history, i have yet to stake the jump into pcp airguns but i am starting to narrow down my options for a starting rifle. FX Dreamline is on the top of that list currently with the Diana k98 being a close second. Will be used for pest/rodent control but would eventually love to use a larger caliber for deer hunting

Can't wait to try the .25 cal in my crown continuum

God Bless !

An excellent video Matt and Roelf, that's some process that you've gone through, are you going to do a sample pack, ie 217/218, say 50 slugs of different weights, in my case. 22, so we can match the slug to the barrel, can't wait for them to land up here in the UK 😎

Nice

I just found the exact same results, I had 600 flat and 600 dish base, At 43 yard shot from inside out to the target they were identical, Shot from outside at 100-140 yards, the dish out shot the flat base without contest.

Hola,felicitaciones a todos aquellos que se dedicaron al desarrollo de este excelente producto.es admirable !!! Para cuando un representante Oficial de patriot en Argentina!!????

You guys are trendsetters and the amount of knowledge, testing, and theory that goes into the slugs is astounding. Others will follow and the market will expand accordingly. Can't wait to try the Gen2's out! Thanks for paving the way in terms of slug development!

Espectacular video , me alegro que despues de tanto esfuerzo tengais vuestra recompensa . Tengo un superior liner de 600 mm calibre 25 en una fx impact I con power plenum y me gustaria saber que velocidad seria la idonea para disparar las javelin cal 25 y donde podria conseguirlas . Soy de Cordoba , andalucia , españa . Un fuerte abrazo y a esperar impacientes nuevos videos y buenas noticias

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into lifting airgunning to the next (10) level(s)! Recently bought a Crown, and though I'm not a fan of the looks of an Impact, I guess I'll have to buy one sooner or later... What liner and power settings do you recommend for shooting the gen 2 .22 with a Crown? Greetings from Belgium!

Thanks for the video. Very interesting. I did miss a bit the 9 mm slugs in the 700 mm barrel. That cal is my main focus.

Really looking forward to the 30 cal Javelins, im thinking of leaving the 22 cal to my Royale and go into a 30 cal panthera, now with the Javelins in 30 i feel secure to take that step. thanks for all Your hard work and passion You give into the industri. my powder burners spending mote and more time in the safe in the future. 👍🤗🇸🇪🔫

I hope in the future you make lightweight slugs (21-23 gr) with small hollow point. I tired gen 1 23gr slug and it performs great, but damages the doves. I eat the doves, thats why I want the least damage :)

Hi matt, how does it perform on standard superior liners compare to superior heavy liners? I saw roelf video using 30gr gen2 javelin on standard superior liners. Thank you matt. More power!
