See the little stud on the top left side of the safety sleeve in the photo below? Thats all thats holding the bolt together, a blown primer or ruptured case could and would shear that little stud and send the firing pin and all attached to it back into your face. There are records of it happening and of shooters being injured or killed when it did.
Having re-read the statement you made earlier it obvious that I mis understood it. I meant nothing rude, just tired of people trashings them so often. I now see you were not. My mistake.
