How many lives those Indian gun laws have saved…There was one verified report of one blowing up. It was a reenactor using a blank charge. I don't see how a blank charge could blow a barrel no matter how cheaply it was made unless maybe the muzzle was plugged. This video pretty much proves these barrels are what they say they are. The vent isn't drilled to get past Indian gun laws.
For this incident here, from those at the event, there were 7 or more blank charges loaded down the barrel before it finally discharged. The actual test report is attached.There was one verified report of one blowing up. It was a reenactor using a blank charge.

What a public service. The testers packed the barrel with 1100-1200 grains of 4F with 3 round balls and it's no surprise what happens. The stock breaks, bulge in barrel and muzzle ruined.
