There are two things which are absolutely amazing to me. First is that the strong modern guns tend to blow up as often or more so than the old ones. This though is probably explainable by the much greater use (& Abuse) of the newer guns.
2nd is just how many of those old "Cheap" JABC or equivalent guns I have been aware of over my lifetime which habitually shot off the shelf shells of every description including the Express & Magnum loads & even though often pitted, loose & off face just kept right on going without Blowing Up. While these guns are not very desirable guns I really think that being "UnSafe" is actually the least of their faults.
