German Officers Pistol

I realize we're getting off track, but I once spoke to the Speer tech by phone (he's now retired) and he spoke of a revolver shipped back to them for exam. The guy was shooting and saw no holes on the paper. He assumed misses and kept on firing. Apparently he even reloaded. When the barrel was cross-sectioned, it revealed so many bullets stacked up in the barrel that the last one was sticking out of the forcing cone enough to stop the cylinder's rotation.

That was kinda scary to me.
