"They" got that statement wrong; it just is not physically possible, there is no where for the gas to escape to!

I'm sorry to say but I don't agree with you. There is indeed a way for the gas to escape. It's from the side cut of the breech block.



Mind you that you only need to relief enough pressure to prevent the firing pin to act as a piston and go full force backwards. And you know what? It works.
