From my longtime experience as a Waldläufer,( Elf, Nomad, Surveyor), in the Jungles of the America's from Alaska to the tip of Argentina as well as the Afrika, a kombination gun is an essential tool and possibly a Schienendrilling or Waldläufer. I have spent the whole of my life in the Bush since I could walk. But what I see is that the use of a Kombo or Drilling requires education and familiarity. Ignorance of the Platform is where the issue arises. Looking @ how Safeties evolved or were made and just the basic design of German / Austrian weapons points to the seriousness of the knowledge of each platform. And most folks want to live in a >>Push-Button<< world and not traverse thru the learning curve. One can try to carry a weapon for every occasion, but that is just not possible as I have tried it. So a Kombo fits the bill. Safety features were added in an attempt to prevent you from doing something stupid with full knowledge of the platform, not to eliminate general stupidity. Even with the Kombos I have found that if you set the >>Set Trigger<< with the safety on & then pull firmly on the appropriate trigger, the lock will still fire when the safety is switched off..... I too have seen this on semi-auto shotguns that were frozen after being rained upon during a waterfowl hunt. Anything that can happen will & one must mitigate it with specific protocol.
