Full Length Guide Rods

What are the benfits of a full length guide rod in a 1911 style pistol, 4" or 5" barrel? Looking at the design, from a mechanical point of view, it seems the guide rod will help control the spring during compression or axial stability. But then, Mr. Browning did not design the pistol that way.

The only way it would get you killed is if you were looking at the end of it when the owner pulled the trigger (which it not advised under any circumstances).
