If the gun is in contact with your skin would the barrel explode because it was blocked?

Or would the gases expanding outward (into your skin) blow up your innards like a balloon?

Inquiring minds want to know...

The latter. Your flesh is softer than a steel gun barrel, so the muzzle blast will go inside you, causing more damage than if just the bullet went in. It happens frequently in street crime.
