Scary .40S&W round

[CroiDhubh]

So, at the shop a fellow employee comes up to me and goes, "Hey, man...this sure as hell doesn't look right to me. Check it out!" He gives me a 180gr .40S&W Speer Gold Dot and...well...check out the photos...








So, I'm pretty much going when I see it. Ask him, "Where the hell did you find this?" His reply? "I extracted it." I blink at him and go, "What do you mean you EXTRACTED it?" He points at his gun, then motions like he just ejected a round from the gun. Damn thing is pushed WAY down (almost 2x the normal depth) into the casing and the rim is chewed to crap.



He had this round IN HIS GUN...I was so shocked I never asked him why he even checked the round to begin with. I'm sure he was going to practice his draw on an unloaded fire arm in the back (I always double and triple check to make sure it's unloaded).

I'm just glad he didn't need it. I'm picturing that thing exploding in his young little face.
