you are only seeing what people have reported on line ,There may be another one or two or even a thousand that have let go but the owners just put it down to wear and tear and they don't use airgun forums .

Not all airgun owners are on airgun forums


Like most things out there ,people will only say "Oh mine did that too" if they hear it happened to some one else .

And if you think Diana will tell you how they put them together then go for it and ask but don't expect a reply if they know there could be an issue . Remember " Diana was shocked " surely if they were that shocked a recall may have been issued .

Did they reply to your query about the sears snapping? did you even write to them Barry ?

But until the other owners that have had it happen to their there will be an assumption of its only one that its happened to so its a one off so send the guy another piston.

Or they could be doing a HW99 and saying its fine pump more out the fools will still buy them.
