amazing.

Did anyone attempt to determine the reason?

Did the cylinder blow out? the barrel bulge? was the top strap separated?

I would love to see pictures.

yes, the cylinder blew, and halves went sideways, and the shell casing bent the top of the frame over the cylinder.

His thumb was a real mess, and nobody thought it would survive, but 6 months of various surgeries and debradings kept it alive.

Pictures are long gone.
