I have seen two “bad bangs”. One separated the barrel from the action, bent the scope, and injured the shooters hand through the magazine...caused by firing a 308 cartridge in a 270. Second was a tube fed .22 repeater which separated the barreled action from the stock...caused when the rim of the cartridge in battery blew out on the bottom and set off the cartridge from the feed tube ... caused by someone filing a “ramp” into the back end of the chamber to improve feeding. No injury. Both were “human” error ... not the fault of the firearm.
