I would think that the large majority of the time that a 12/20 burst is going to destroy the gun. A deer slug and a load of buckshot being blocked by a live 20 gauge? Amazing!! Of course when they played baseball with a new Ruger .22 auto- pitching and hitting it with a baseball bat and beating it to smithereens, then having it still fire was pretty amazing, too. or the time they drug a rifle down the road, through the mud and water; shot a synthetic/rifle several times with a shotgun; deep fried a handgun; froze another handgun; dropped a rifle from a tower of several feet onto the ground several times and all the other times they have tortured brand new guns- I don't ever remember any of them NOT firing. I guess guns will take quite a beating nowdays.
