Here's what a M-16 looks like after a catastrophic failure.

Well, at least it was a military rifle so it can be replaced.

I would be willing to bet that the shooter pooped.

Hope noone got hurted.

A cleaning patch. Heck of a reminder to make sure your bore is clear. I saw pics one time of a lever gun that had been fired with a plug of mud in the barrel. About 6" of the end of the barrel looked like a banana peel. Yikes!

My bet here is that a CATM troop didn't inspect the gun properly after the previous person qualifying had cleaned it.

Thats one catastrophic failure.

Heres another one where a bore sight was left in the barrel.
