It would seem to me that if the breech block were far enough back to leave the case unsupported the toggle would not be locked. The gun would then act in blow back mode and violently eject the case with or without the extracter in place. Since the toggle mass is far to small to control the movement in blow back mode I wouild not be at all surprised to see a broken toggle.


So far most of the debate has revolved around case support or lack of it. How about the pistol action? And how do we get an out of battery discharge to begin with? The first possibility I can think of is a broken sear or firing pin. Did this thing go blewy when the trigger was pulled? Or on the reloading stroke?
