Break barrel safety

In the 80's I had a Beeman R-10 (.20) of "fine German craftsmanship" and quality ; ) I let the barrel go too soon once and it split the finely crafted German stock.
I bought a replacement stock from Beeman that was clearly of lesser German quality. Didn't matter. It never shot well in my hands anyway. : ) Moved it down the road.

The first time tried a break barrel I recognized this concern and how badly you could get hurt. I tend to watch for things like that in anything I do. My fingers and toes and the rest of my body parts don’t work as well as they once did but I still have all of them.

Call me whatever, but if anyone asks to shoot my Crow Magnum, I will break the barrel, load the pellet and hand the rifle like he is a new shooter, pointing to a safe direction. Some folks I know treat air guns as if they are toys.
