Mercury, a private label of Frankonia, mainly manufactures simply designed over-and-under and semi-automatic shotguns as well as repeaters, but also air rifles. One of the most well-known air rifles from Mercury is the Chili Edge model, caliber 4.5mm Diabolo. The cocking mechanism works by bending the barrel, and a safety at the end of the system automatically springs into the rear position to prevent accidental firing. The weapon features a plastic stock, and the system and barrel are blued. In addition to a telescopic sight, a standard fiber optic sight is also available. The weapon bears the marking “F in a pentagon,” which means that the weapon does not exceed 7.5 Joules and is available for sale to individuals aged 18 and over.
