That is an awful lot of barrel slices hanging out past the nut.

Apparently what happened was a lightly charged round. said that he was shooting along fine, just 100 yard slow fire, and then he had a round that went off funny. The spent case kicked out but there wasn't a round on target... he fired off a few more and then noticed the barrel looked odd... I'm guessing the weak round had just enough gas to send the bullet down the barrel, but lodged it at the very end of the barrel. The following shot must have blown it open and the trigger guard popped open too.
