The lost art of "Cut Shells"

Very cool. Learn something new every day.
However (cut and pasted from the interwebs):

In some cases, part of the plastic shotshell hull gets left behind in the barrel of the shotgun after firing. With a break-open gun, you can actually look down the barrels very easily from the chamber end to verify before the next shot that the barrel is actually clear of obstructions. If a cut shell cycled in a pump or semi, and you didn’t check the barrel, you can easily blow up the gun with the next shot if there is a chunk of shotshell hull still remaining inside the barrel.

Good point about obstructions... Got a gun to waste?
