Never shot identical lugers built 100 years apart?
If i understand correctly metal fatigue accumulates with multiple bangs over period of time, correct? The shooting/use are the main culprits.
Is there any damaging structural chemical/physical process in an old gun's metal [ or any metal/alloy] even without any shooting or physical use?
LET'S SAY THE SAME METALLURGY, FORGING , TOOLING, MACHINNING- THE IDENTICAL 2 GUNS MADE A 100 YEARS APART. NEVER SHOT. IS THE OLDER ONE MORE LIKELY TO BREAK SIMPLY FROM AGING?
TY
