Indian muskets

why proof test guns that are not monitored after being proofed ? Makes no sense.

To make sure that they don’t subsequently blow up and kill somebody.

What good is one proof test if it’s not monitored ? Just saying, seems like a waste of time and money. It seems like a control measure to me to limit gun ownership.

A proof is not intended to be monitored. It’s intended to say ‘this barrel is rated safe up to this level.”
