I haven’t seen any really good reviews on them, but I have seen a few poor ones. I’d treat it as a novelty gun. It will probably be discontinued soon and 10 years from now it will be collectible. They make a bayonet for it too, cause you need practical stuff like that when it comes to survival.

It’s a cool idea that’s about it. Will it hit a jack rabbit at 15 yards ? Yeah probably. Mine broke the detached cocking lever got jammed

I saw that several people received them a while back in Air Gun Depot's mystery box, or whatever it was called.

Better to find a yourself B5. Proven platform, with folding stock, accurate and kind of cool. Ask anyone that owns one.

To me the real issue with it is that it doesn't fold up into a compact package. With other survival rifles like the M6 or the AR7 the idea was that they would either fold up or break down into a very small package that could be easily stowed away somewhere in case of emergency. Folding up into a triangle with sides about 20" long just doesn't give it any real advantages over a traditional breakbarrel.
It's a unique gimmick though and the styling is kind of cool so if the reviews of it had said that it was an otherwise decent rifle I could see picking one up the next time they went on sale. So far I've yet to read a review from someone I trust that says it's anything other than crap though.

I have it in .22, good looking, on the heavy side which I like, just today I was shooting it off-hand, 20 then 35 meters, great accuracy and lots of fun. what can I say, i like it.

I don't really understand the folding feature of this rifle. If it would fold all the way into a compact "brick" that's easy to transport in a trunk or in a backpack, that would make sense. But both the stock and the barrel are only half-folding making it even harder to store or carry IMHO. Interesting idea, but I doubt that it's a practical one.

Ok, I looked up this rifle and the manufacturing is calling it "survival rifle". Apparently, it comes with a waterproof storage case in the exact shape of this hollow space in the middle of the folded rifle. Still, I doubt that this design is practical by far. But at least it now makes some sense.
