    The brass is corroded and/or brittle with age. Some old brass is perfectly usable after annealing to deal with the brittleness of age. Some old brass is corroded due to bad storage so much so that it is unsafe to fire and if fired, splits at the shoulder and the neck or in the body of the case.
