I guess you could break a spring or wear out a barrel, maybe, if you fired 20,000 rounds and never cleaned it once. Or ran over it with a tank.

And I have a feeling if the Eurotwits cut off parts about 40 domestic manufacturers would grab that opportunity by the short ones.

Best,

Close. I've had a M1911A1 that was run over by a M113 APC on a concrete paved road. The young lieutenant hung his shoulder holster on the light guard on the right side opposite the driver, and likely didn't have the thumb strap snapped. The driver had to move the track, and CRUNCH.

Ruined the grips, and dinged up the rear sight. Took me about five minutes to fix for a VERY nervous new platoon leader, who thought I was the bestest armorer ever.
