It can be both. A bomb that was a dud can still eventually explode. Just not when you wanted it to.

Idk man. The odds don't work like that. You ever seen a firearm someone has taken care of malfunction? Odds are it won't fire. Leave it somewhere for almost a century unkept? It's done.

Shit randomly malfunctions all the time. Never assume that a gun is totally safe just because you maintain it.

What I'm saying is, 99% of the time, a malfunction leads to it not firing even when you want it to.
