No problem, Greg.
I have been a big fan of Serbu. Like his channel, learned a lot in homemade gun building.

I believe he has a strong background[?degree?] in engineering.

I hate to see not always deserved very emotionally charged blames vs credits without first investigating the issue, facts.

It's interesting that we are careful with Luger's ammo god forbid not to brake some parts in it.
No-no for hot ammo.

Imagine would would happen to it with the several fold charge...

I believe, any gun even with the best design has a breaking point and can explode...

I've got a box full of this blown up stuff. I've accumulated it over the years when I worked at a full time gunshop, and at my own 'smithing business. The AMT slide is a 45 win mag. The owner thought he had Win 296 in the powder hopper...He had 231 in it instead. Probably about 4 times as much powder as would have been safe. The S&W 19 357 mag was a load of Unique. He didn't have his glasses on, and didn't see he had the "10 ' block over a notch, so he threw 15.5 grains, instead of 5.5 grains, a triple load. Took the top of the gun off. The 1911 barrel was a stuck bullet, with another one fired on top of it. The Ruger barrel is the same story.http://forum.lugerforum.com/attachmh...1&d=1624074634
