Seems like kB!s are almost a daily occurrence somewhere a firearms will experience a catastrophic failure, often in a spectacular manner. This week's featured kB! happened with a Sturm Ruger PC4, their relatively new carbine chambered in ".40 Auto" (or, as those of us who were there for the introduction of the cartridge know it, .40 S&W).
The offending round came from Sellier & Bellot and was almost certainly a squib load. While not as impressive an event as the 7 January one which completely destroyed Chris Comer's M1A, the photographs are pretty dramatic.
And there's a lesson to be learned for shooters here as well… don't get so carried away with yanking the trigger than you fail to heed the warning signs of incipient disaster!
