Hoooooly crap! I almost shat myself watching that.

I was thinking "the person in the back is leaning to far to the rear to receive the recoil well" then parts flew.

 

[animator]

Yep, seen it.


Let the speculation fly!

"OHH SHHIII..."

Yikes, that other guy just about gets smoked by that huge chunk of stock that wizzes past his nose!

I speculate it was an out of battery discharge.

looks like she had a squib, and then racked a new shell in and it went boom.

Naw, you can see powder exit the barrel when that second to last round is fired.
Here's what she has to say:

I am the person this happened to. The 7th round jammed, which is nothing unusual for this gun. It happens all the time. That is why I didn't really hesitate to shoot the final round. We were using newer ammo, so we don't think that's the problem. My brother has been looking at his M1, and we noticed it will still fire with the chamber not fully closed. The chamber can be open up to 1/2" and the weapon will still fire. We think that's what happend.

It looked like it fired out of battery to me



Edit ... too late

I like how she drops the rest of the gun like it was a poisonous snake.

I had a carbon arrow explode when shooting it and it drove into my left thumb meat. I threw the bow like it was a poisonous snake too.

I'd probably do the same... then start checking myself for leaks/extra holes

I would've done the same and screamed like a girl.

I also like the last snippet of audio "ah shi...."

 

[Chris]

Wow. That does not look pleasant.

 

[D_JEEPER]

this is why you do not ride the bolt home. Drop that bitch, check the chamber and go.
