When squibs happen, people say that the bullet is lodged in the barrel and could cause an explosion if the next round is fired.
Since this has never happened to me yet...
1. Why is the bullet stuck in the barrel? I am assuming that the bullet is of smaller diameter than the barrel...and would easily slide out (if one were to tip the barrel down). Is the bullet resting in the barrel or is it truly "stuck"?
2. If the next round is fired, would not the bullet that is "stuck" in the barrel simply be pushed out...how could kaboom happen? Before pressure builds up to dangerous levels...would not the stuck bullet give way?
Ok... please educate me on this. I'm sure that some of my assumptions may be incorrect.
