Randy Wakeman was asked whether there were any known incidents of a damascus barrel failing and replied:
Quote:
Yes, as a matter of fact it was a fairly recent lawsuit against an ammunition manufacturer. The customer was told that no, there was no guarantee that the ammunition was safe in his gun unless the individual went through appropriate and costly testing.
The owner decided to do his own "proof-testing," firing seven rounds with his gun in a fixture.
The eighth shot was from his shoulder. The gun failed, and the shooter lost his left arm in the incident. He sued. He lost his lawsuit.

This sounds like what the OP proposes and yet the shooter lost an arm.
