At February’s 3Gun match in Oak Ridge, a new guy managed jam a cartridge in his pistol chamber backwards. This occurred in the middle of his stage. Needless to say, he couldn’t finish that stage. It took at least five minutes to clear it.
Many of us were and are astonished at the complexity, brilliance and pure genius of that malfunction. Maybe it was H&K’s 2004 Shot Show brochure that was his muse.
I suppose there were no wide open shirt collars or loose fitting eyeglasses for that case to land in, hot & fresh from the gun, so jamming up the gun seems the next worse thing to do.
It appears that he has extractor problems, as it doesn’t look to have a grip on the current round that is halfway into the chamber. The front of the external part of it should be protruding slightly from the side of the slide (loaded chamber indicator design), but it is recessed.
I suspect that the caught brass got blown out of the chamber like an extractor-less pocket pistol does, which would explain why it dropped so close to the gun. I’m thinking he has more than one problem with that gun.

OK that’s funny right there.
Because racegun.
Now I wonder; would a case ever possibly bridge between that objective lens, or the mount, and the barrel?

Those gloves are more tactical than any of the several dozen guns I own.
Everything else…sure is >i>pretty.

I truly think that’s impossible, considering slide velocity.
