they are designed around backthrust. There are lots of different types too. Plastic, aluminum, brass frames, even using adapters you have to use your head and not be an idiot. My Polish is very well made from steel and quite strong, even the locking system. That's why I chose it.
The adapters are made from aluminum mostly. I noted the .22 is plastic. Both have steel liners. I'd much prefer solid steel and intend to make a couple for myself from barrel blank stubs. Certainly only low pressure rounds should be used only after considering the construction of the piece itself.
My rig has a carry pouch with extra cartridge places. I hope to fill it with a mix of flares and adapters for a very interesting conversation piece and fun occasional shooter. I may even make some parachute rounds with little green army men.
