"I anticipate that it would cause a severe problem, but only from the way you phrased the question and not from technical knowledge. Please explain thoroughly."
Imagine a small but pert nuclear weapon.
Going off about 4 inches in front of your face.
Peak pressure of 48 grains of Bullseye would probably run in excess of 120,000 PSI.
No rifle on the face of the planet would survive that.
Rifles that are subjected to that kind of pressure usually shatter into many pieces. As often as not the shooter has some injuries, ranging from minor (gas burns, small bits of debris) to major (eye trauma, major lacerations, etc.)
I was at the shotgun range today with some friends, and there's a shotgun hanging on the wall showing the effects of poor reloading techniques. The receiver and barrel are flayed open. Not sure of the story, but wouldn't be surprised if it were a power miscue.
