As for trustworthiness of fluid steel barrels, the older Col Askins wrote a shotgun book in early 1900s on shotguns. In it is a section on barrel making and design where he not only states that the general public hadn't embraced the safety of fluid steel barrels compared to damascus, but goes to great lengths to convince the reader of the safety of using fluid steel barrels.
