What used to happen with older weapons was that the firing pin would eventually elongate and could end up going through primers. Again it won’t happen with decent modern weapons.

I about crapped when I broke the pin on a C96 Mauser.

Where will I find parts?
Whew!!!... Numrich came through.

Seems that purposely loading/unloading snap-caps helps make sure the gun is safe to practice with too.
