As long as you attemp to shot them from a functioning shot gun they aren't going to blow up in your face.
They will either not fire in which point the primers are wet or the primer will go 'bang' and will not detonate the powder because the powder is wet.
Most likely they will all go bang. If they are 'hit or miss' as far as firing I'd dump them all as you can't count on them goin bang.
