A short 2:28 video by capandball showing how an obstruction due to a dry ball or squib load caused a revolver barrel to burst.

Two different people have posted about similar experiences with squib loads.
One person's experience resulted with only a slight barrel bulge about 1 inch into the barrel of his 1861, but it still fires with acceptable accuracy.
Another person said that his flask must have been low or empty of powder which led to only a few grains being loaded into one of his Remington chambers.
Luckily he checked his barrel after firing the squib, because he found that a ball was stuck just a few inches past the forcing cone.
