oh shit!

He must own a gd, I'm jokin I'm jokin

Gotdayum!

Shit!!

The rifle barrel peeled back like that is photoshoped, I'd put my money on it. Nevertheless, the story could very well be true and that's a bad lick for this guy if it is.

I've seen a barrel flower exactly like that after being shot with mud in the barrel!

i shot a shotgun once with mud in the barrell. It didnt flower but the whole underneath of the barrell was gone. i doubt its photoshoped

Daaaaaammmm Bad day for that dude!

A friend of mines Weatherby misfired and sent the bolt through his cheekbone a few years ago.

that is a real pic but the dude on the stretcher was not him. he was unharmed.

I got this in an email, so I can't speak for the guy on the stretcher, or if it's photoshopped, but my dad actually peeled back the barrel on his Wingmaster like that about 20+ yrs ago. He'd stabbed it down into the mud while pickin up a goose, when another fly by. Without knowin he'd got it in the mud, he shot. Poof, new barrel. He wasn't hurt, but crapped himself!!

Here's the other pics that came with the email.

Those pics been around for a while and pop back up every year round dis time. Myth Busters done a show on it and couldn't get it to peel back like dat, but who knows??

i have seen a shot gun barrel expanded before i could only imagine a high powered rifle traveling that fast i believe it

ok so whos gonna be the guinea pig and try this out?

sure! u donatin the rifle?

I blew up the barrel on my SX3 in '08. It didnt flower like that but all the pellets left through the side of the barrel from the new opening. Had a wad get stuck at the choke tube

Dude -- when I got that call and realized that nobody was hurt --- I couldnt help but laugh and think

Only Matt would call me with this story LOL
