    Similar problem to what they had with the older revolving rifles perhaps? Hot round goes off, overpowers the cylinder its in, which causes it to blow. The heat from that explosion is so great it causes ignition of the neighboring cylinders, except the bullet doesn't (can't) move down the barrel which does not allow for the release of the gas from the powder explosion, so the case ruptures instead.
