SPOOKY! Never seen that kind of damage before. Assuming bbl. was not obstructed, I'm guessing a weak spot. The Magsafe rounds are kinda like buckshot, so may have started separating too soon? Would love to hear the thoughts of a machinist or other technical expert.

I'm guessing it was an obstructed Bbl or round was ignited before being fully chambered & Slide/Bbl fully locked.

Wow that looks bad. Hope you're OK!!
If that was the first and only shot you made the AMT V, I bet that scared the hell out of you. I would contact the ammo dealer and hear what he has to say about this! 180 grains for a .50 AE is crazy light bullet, so I suspect the powder was a fast burning type. Something can go bad quick with this type of powder. Let us know how this goes on. Luc V.

I tried to find more info about the ammo, Is this the ammo you used in the pistol?
The warning on the label says it all, this ROUND, not bullet... True, but sad... ![]() |

Normally these kinds of ammo don't generate high pressure, so its very suspicious as to why this gun failed.
Either there was some gross flaw in the barrel, or it fired before the Bbl/Slide were fully locked into battery, or there was an obstruction in the barrel. |
