I think the shell from a blank can sometimes accidentally be discharged. By shell, I think you're talking about the case. The only time a case is discharged is if you have a pistol and it ejects out the side. If you have a revolver the case stays in the cylinder of the gun. It is literally impossible for a case to go through the barrel. What if the case is defective?

There are four pieces to a cartridge, the case which holds the powder and secures the bullet, the primer which ignites the powder when the hammer hits it, the powder itself, and the bullet which is the projectile that does the damage. Under no circumstances would a case ever get propelled out of the barrel, it's physically impossible.

Beats me, but a dude I knew got shot in the leg, and he said the bullet and a piece of the casing got lodged in his leg. Obviously I want there, so I don’t know, but I don’t see a reason why he’d lie about it. Anyhoo.

Obviously I want there, so I don’t know, but I don’t see a reason why he’d lie about it. Anyhoo. Most bullets that are manufactured today have a metal casing that either fully or partially encapsulates the lead bullet. Hence you hear the terms full metal jacket or jacketed hollow point when people talk about bullets. It's still the bullet or you could call it projectile. Don't ever confuse the term bullet with cartridge like the media. The bullet is what actually leaves through the barrel, while the cartridge is a fully assembled round. A bullet by itself is as harmless as throwing a quarter at someone. The worst thing that can happen with a case is that when it ejects during the functioning of a semi auto it bounces off something and lands on your skin. It's super hot and can burn you. I know this because I have a slight scar on my eyelid when a .223 case bounced off the side of a stall at an indoor range and landed between my safety glasses and my eye. Burnt like a mother fucker. Your friend did not get hit with a piece of the case, it's impossible.

He drove to the hood to score some crack and the junkie dealer shot him in the leg in his car making the deal. Story is coming from a drug addict, so probably changed a bit somewhere to make it fit a narrative.

I'm pretty sure that the hoodie was using factory ammo and even if possible, a current vintage round from a factory has so little chance of case failure it's almost impossible to imagine. Ammunition manufacturers never load their products close to failure levels and in fact load their products way below them.

Saw a guy almost die shooting a hot load through a .50 BMG. What a dumb, but lucky motherfucker.

\Oh yeah, I have seen guns blown up by morons who double charged their reloaded rounds. I was present at a range when the guy at the end of the line blew up a very expensive handgun with a double charged round he reloaded.
I shot a vintage post Korean War 30-06 round out of my Rem bolt action rifle and it blew out the internal magazine but with no damage. The case split from the neck right down to, and including, the base. If I could figure out how to post a picture I would as I still have the case and kept it prominently displayed on my reloading station as a safety at all costs reminder. I never shot mil surp ammo again after that incident.

Dude could shred as good as Eddie Van Halen too. That was 30 years ago. The kind of information in your brain that’s not important. DGAF.
