Kentucky Ballistics

In the late 1980's at the highpower nationals during the offhand match, the shooter on my left had his Obermeyer barrel burst in the chamber area. He wasn't hurt but his coat left sleeve had a few ragged holes. The rifle stock was ruined. Boots Obermeyer gave him new barrel and stock. The Winchester 70 action survived.
 
My impression of the Serbu kaboom:

I'm convinced that at pressures that can be reasonably expected,the Serbu can stay together. That includes some serious over pressure loads.

Maybe thats enough.

But most modern firearms,when they do fail, fail in a way that seems engineered to protect the shooter as much as possible.

If the Serbu acheives catastrophic failure,that breech cap is likely to punch a hole in the shooter's head.
