I guess I learned at an early age from an oldtimer that schooled me on those those old Civil War era Colts, Remingtons, Whitneys etc. seeing how these old guns my very well suffer a chain fire and you can shoot some or most of your hand off when bullets fly from multiple chambers with a single pull of the trigger and you are holding the gun improperly.
Smith made an experimental M&P in .30 Carbine back in WWII. Muzzle blast was horiffic from a service length barrel so the project got shelved. I bet the barrel gap blast was terrible also.
