    An M16 rifle was fired with an obstructed bore, resulting in extensive damage to the upper and lower receivers. Parts of the upper receiver were blown off and scattered up to 35 yards away, while the magazine was blown apart and its internal components expelled. The bolt carrier and bolt showed damage, with a case head remaining lodged in the bolt face and the extractor peeled back.
