No doubt this gun will perform just as well many years later. Is there a tear-down video on the R5M?
I used to use break-barrel guns as I too thought PCP's were a bit pricey until I finally bought an FX Impact a year ago. Wow...the accuracy and consistency is what you are buying! You just don't miss.
Plan to save $20 to $30 a week and make a well-thought-out decision and buy a PCP such as this EDgun Matador. You will never buy anything else.
