Some of those guns will probably be shooting long after we are all gone. But that does not make them either high quality or safe. The one that blew up with a blank had been fired at least 200 times with standard pressure .38 Special, yet it let go when the owner was using it as a starter pistol at a high school track meet. No one injured, fortunately, but the top strap and pieces of the cylinder went flying.
On guns like that, it is not the last round that could be dangerous, it is the next.
