Amazing! The pistol survived and so did the shooter

Folks,

Here are some pictures someone from Argentina send me. The amazing thing is that the barrel didn't burst, the frame survived this ordeal and so did the shooter.

For your pleasure:

FOUR 230 gr FMJ stuck in there!!! Do you believe it????

And the only reason this guy stopped shooting for, was because the barrel bushing was caught on the buldged barrel and stuck there!

Here is the original link to this ordeal: http://www.instructoritb.com.ar/Ata...%2045%20Acp.htm

God, I've never seen anything like that!

I thought I would share with you.

Lucky shooter. Glad I wasn't there.

That is a joke, right??? How could the bullets pack tight against the ones in front???? Where did the gases go????

Why didn't it just blow up????

slide cycling probably allowed gases to escape.
