This I can agree with. Cheapo ABS receivers, pot metal receivers, etc don't respond well to hitting the ground.
This where you've lost me. If a tab was broken by being dropped then it's not resilient to drops.
Granted, it really depends on where the PDR (or any airsoft rifle) lands when it gets dropped.
Granted, there are plastic bodied weapons (both real and airsoft) available that probably can withstand some serious punishment as far as drops. This drop test video of a G&G CM pretty much shows that plastic bodied rifles can be resilient (
)
But still, it's probably too
