It's all in the place where the stress is placed and the torque from the impact. Estrela's broke because it fell with the stock open at a critical spot and all the stress went into that little square that I had to patch back in.
If you dropped it elsewhere it wouldn't be a problem, but Estrela and I both identified there's a vulnerability with not enough material in the square hole where it folds in that is hollow which would prevent it from breaking.
There's very little preventative upgrades you can do to stop this from breaking except being more careful not to drop it.
BTW the real steel Kriss Vector and other folding stocks break just like this as well. So imagine a toy like an airsoft gun and it's shitty material going through the same stress.
