In any given lot of AAA shells, something like 3-10% of them (at a minumum) are going to have fuses that don’t work as advertised and they will be coming down somewhere.

In which case, the batteries could be positioned in such a way that UXO falls in Gaza :-)

That having been said, I understand your point about fuze failure rates. A 10% failure rate would not be good.
