split barrel


Recommended Posts


This happened by a squib round,

 

 

by that i mean the first round got stuck in the barrel, maybe via a cleaning patch left in or some foreign object, not noticing the round never exited the barrel

 

the shooter chambered another round pulled the trigger, and the bullet forced itself into the round already stuck in the barrel, hence one big mess..

 

Snap.

The original photo seems to be on 'Documenting Reality' and describes the shooter using recommended saboted bullets. I suspect one was left in the barrel after a round was chambered and then unloaded without firing, then chambering another round would leave two bullets in the barrel. Nasty accident and nasty injury. I hope I never see a barrel split for real.
