Are you SURE that's 40lbs? looks like a 20... unless you have huge hands

gently lifting 40lbs is one thing
20lbs of shock force is something entirely different

Did you know that if you have a stubborn hex head cap screw that just won't come out,
you can apply 65ft-lbs of force on that little guy and strip the head, and it will not have broken the force of friction holding it in place.
If you come at that screw with a different approach, like an impact wrench, just apply short bursts of 20-30ft-lbs and you'll break it loose without damaging the head.

When you fall on the gun, it's not going to be gradually applied force, it'll be shock force.
And either way, if you used a BETTER plastic, it would be much stronger and you wouldn't have to worry about it breaking the body lol
