I was acquainted with a CAS shooter in Colorado (where I started) who always wore a glove on his left hand. Seems most of his left hand was missing and the remainder was pretty grisley (spell??). The result of a magazine detonation in a Winchester 94, 30-30.
He tried, unsuccessfully, to sue Winchester and Olin (ammo). Was told he was stupid to put pointy bullets in a tube magazine (I agree).
I was personal witness to a Mag detonation, with .38s, round nose, in a '92. For whatever reason, the '92 blew out the "off side" of the mag, and other than needing a change of underwear, no human damage was done. I consider anyone who advocates anything other than flat nose bullets in a tube magazine to be a fool. Oh, and stupid.
