If you snap a small bit (e.g 1.5mm) you will have just about trashed the thing your woking on.
Problem is the bit is so much harder then the Cu that if you try to drill it out, the carbide bit will just go sideways into the copepr , down the side of the broken HSS bit.

As said - the higher quality the Bit the less chance of this happening.
