If you drop a round of ammo, pick it up, dust it off and inspect it to insure no nicks or gouges, it could STILL blow up because the round was pressed deeper into the casing?
It hasn't been a problem with the M1911 .45 pistol and its M1911 Ball ammo, in use with the service handgun from 1911 to 1984 [and since, here and there] and in the Thompson, Reising, M3 and M3A1 and M10 submachineguns in military service, all in the same caliber.
You'd think if anything would squash the bullet into the depths of the cartridge case, it'd be the inertia of a one-pound bolt slamming the cartridge out of the magazine and into the chamber at a cyclic rate of 450 times a minute, [M3/M3A1 greaseguns] 550-600 RPM [later Thompsons and Reisings] and 700-1200 times per minute [early Navy and Marine M1921 Thompsins and Ingram .45 M10s]
But the original .45 Ammo specs were developed for both semi and full-auto use. Good thing, as it turned out, for several reasons.
