Stuck bullet in barrel

My one and only squib was with a muzzle can suppressed MP5. The curious thing is I got the opposite effect; pfff, pfff, pfff, POP! I had the presence of mind to stop, step back and run a rod down the barrel to find a bullet stuck about an inch past the chamber throat. It was pure chance that I wasn't running bursts through the gun, which would have complicated things considerably and probably ruined the barrel on a Transferrable gun and surely would have damaged the suppressor.
The louder report of all the gasses coming back through the ejection port was my only warning.
