Apropos of nothing and offered only as a funny anecdote, not to support a viewpoint . . . I was talking to an old engineer I used to shoot with about what I thought were some very thin barrels that he was shooting with. “Aren’t you worried?” I asked. He said he wasn’t and I persisted “why not?”

“For the same reason that the walls of my cartridges don’t burst, pressure takes the path of least resistance”.
