Ted, could you elaborate on the broken pin scenario--as in where goes the bolt, the gas, etc. when a m12 fires with the bolt out of battery? I've put well over 2500 rounds thru a '41 12 ga skeet, trap, and hunting (my aftermarket-barreled axe with Col. Arms choke tubes that I think so much of) and it aint done it yet. However, the skeet nazi is always looking askance at it and its recently acquired safe companion ('47 plain barrel skeet grade w/ factory Cutts) as if either one is going to do something disastrous any moment. I'm surmising he may have been present for an event of this sort. He himself manages to flinch his way to most of his monotonous 25s with an all-gauge menagerie of 11XXs, and once in a while a 20 ga. 870. Occasionally he'll also show up with an old Baker and miss.
