Hardly, sir.
Lots of P22s in there, with zero other Walthers represented. P22s are known to have had issues. The rest of the Walthers are well known for reliability. I have heard of guys having over 40,000 rounds through PPQs, since 2011, without so much as a spring replacement.
Squibs, double-charges, etc... Part of why I don't reload.
Here's one I personally witnessed: squib followed by a slug. Wolf ammo, Mossberg 930 SPX. Nobody hurt, luckily. Apparently Wolf paid for repairs.

Would a squib load have enough power to eject the shell? I wouldn't think so, . . . . but I could be wrong.
i noticed that all of the Walther P22's have a silencer, or threaded adapter on the end of the barrel. that makes me wonder if there is maybe a clearance problem, or if the adapter is heat soaking, and expanding, causing seizure on the slide. and that seizing, is causing the slide to crack. i understand that it is not a high quality steel slide. but if the problem is with aftermarket parts, there should be instructions with them to open the slide up slightly. i can see where adding anything to the end of the barrel, would cause more heat to stay in the gun.
Reloading mishaps have always happened, we just see "more" because we have the net. People make mistakes. Some people are just downright stupid. Both conditions extend to more than reloading. It has and always will be that way.
How the heck do you squib on a smoothbore? You'd think it'd at least roll out the barrel.
I've managed to make a squib in my Glock 34 and it did cycle but the next round ran into the squib causing a failure to feed. Its a good thing too because I honestly didn't notice a difference in the recoil probably because the slide cycled.Would a squib load have enough power to eject the shell?

I still think it'd have to be a pretty weak gun for that to cause problems. I mean, really?Wad = barrel obstruction.
One would "think" the next round would just push the wad out, but physics dosen't think.
I saw several ruptured AR polymer mags. How did those happen? What malfunction causes a mag to rupture?
It wasn't a wad. It was two slugs. One squib, slug stuck in barrel. Shooter quickly ejected "misfire" and loaded another slug behind it, boom. Nobody heard the primer go off, and several were wearing electronic muffs.I still think it'd have to be a pretty weak gun for that to cause problems.
