I fail to see how a bullet not sealing the bore would cause gas blowback unless the bullet were so much too small that there would be no case obturation at all. I strongly advise shooting glasses (not just sun or glare glasses) when firing ANY gun, but that "advice" sounds like another Carcano scare story.
A local arms expert, now gone from us, a man who had won hardware at Perry before WWII and fought in Europe, despised all "surplus junk", especially the Carcano. He told the author of one of the "conspiracy theory" books that JFK could not have been shot with a Carcano because one of those "da**ed Dago guns won't shoot that far" [60 or so yards]. The writer believed it and I think published it as a fact.
