Super glad to hear he is OK and recovering quickly !  :shaka:

But what the heck happened.
Guy next to him gun blows up and he's in ICU. That's catastrophic failure.
What hit him ?

I can't say that the gun blew up. No one has said that to me. That is why I have not said it. I was very careful to not say that. The round blew up in the gun and a piece of the brass shell casing hit him. That was the only shrapnel.

If you want my opinion, if there was a blockage in the barrel and the next round is lit off in a blowback style action then all of the pressure pushed back the slide and came out the chamber turning the case into sharp pieces of spleen puncturing, artery slicing projectiles. JMHO  :shaka:

Finally got the word about a possible cause. I got this directly from my friend who arrived at the scene right after the incident happened. There was shrapnel in the magazine as well as whatever came out of the ejection port that hit Chris. Also heard that the range officer was telling people there was an obstruction in the barrel. That would explain the cause of the failure.

First of all, glad to hear your friend is recovering well. I would be interested in finding out exactly what happened ,as far as the malfunction, it there is ever a conclusion. Maybe the firearm was shipped to the manufacturer? So many scenarios that could've happened. Hate to speculate as well may help to prevent another similar accident.

I didn't realize an empty shell casing, or pieces of a shell casing, could do that much damage.
I just assumed the gun blew up.

This is an eye opener. Just glad he's OK.
