That's the interesting part, and why I suggested that studying

This also reminds me of how the reliability of aircraft engines was
improved during WW2. The engines were mounted on a test stand and simply
run at full power until they broke. The broken part was analyzed,
redesigned, installed, and the engine run again until it broke. Rinse,
repeat.
I wonder if they ever tried shooting bullets at them until they broke.
In WW2 that's an equally real-life scenario!
