Squib fire - results
Short version of the story...
Ducks flying, point, fire, squib!!, more ducks coming in, eject empty casing, reload, pull trigger. Lesson... always check your barrel after a squib.
This happened yesterday to a friend. Results below...
Luckily, he was not injured.
Barrel was replaced tonight - thanks to Fish-Hawk classifieds.
Cheers

Don't know the brand. He did keep the shell to look into further.
It was more than a primer pop... just enough energy to send the wad down the bbl, a few pellets flew out but in retrospect we now believe that the wad must have stayed behind the choke.

O.k O4T you need to send that to MythBusters...They did a whole episode on trying to make a gun do that and they could not get a good " banana peel " out of it. The story was of some guy who left the bore sight in the barrel and then fired a live shot from it....Well the managed a partial banana peel but with a very old gun and a well used one.
Watch episode # 43 for the story!
