Crash Test ? that's a understatement ! You build a very nice product, Here go's one more for the bucket list.

Let's try that with a Wildcat … methinks the car would sustain an incredible amount of damage when the pressure tube blew apart. I love my WC but it does have it's limitations as Dirty Harry would say. So do you feel lucky?

I wouln't either unless I am not 100 % sure they will survive. So, I did it just because I know my guns
R5M platform is built to be very strong, it took me over two years to design it, being not happy with R4 I just stop working on it, forgot about all the money I've spent and started R5 platform...Upvote 0
Of course this video is extreme and no one would run their gun over on purpose. But it is a valid test because a lot of Airguns made today are fragile. I once had an Airgun from a big maker that fell while it was leaning against a fence. I should have secured the gun but I didn't and the gun slid off the fence from an upright position and landed shroud first. The gun would not hold zero after that and the clipping took the gun out of service. My hunt was done. The repair was simple, a new shroud and the gun was back to normal. After that day I searched for a gun that could be run over by a land Cruiser and still not ruin my precious day afield. This is how I decided the Edgun was for me and the eventually lead to me becoming the impoter for these fine acurate and durable airguns.

I too once had a Turkish gun that I dropped from two feet while hunting. I ended up missing a number of shots before I realized I bent the shroud. Then I had to pay $85 to get another one and wait two weeks and miss a lot of hunting.
Clearly, I will never have to worry about that happening with my Lelya 2.0.

Your right none of US would do that to an air gun, but the maker owns that right to do that.

Great engineering Ed, well thought out design and built For the field. I for one sleep with my Leshiy at night I love it so much .
