Very weird failure. Heybert, explain this to us!

Just got back from SE BC. Had no internet and sporadic service. Anyway, I think this video has been explained already. Timing is a good guess, but more likely a squib was in the barrel and the pressure from the he next shot blew out the barrel. Nice thing about a revolver, pressure has lots of exit points.
