How not to clear a barrel obstruction

After several months of being scannerless, and several weeks of being printerless, I finally bought a new HP printer/scanner yesterday. So now we can all look forward to some pictures being posted to this blog on occasion.

Here is a favorite of mine from a book I have. A Colt Official Police Revolver in .38 caliber that has been cut away so we can see the insides. A squib round apparently got stuck in the barrel, so someone decided to keep shooting until the barrel was cleared (uh-huh). The results are clear to see.
