My first guess is too little of a powder that was too slow. What exactly was the charge that did this???
Just a fun pic that ya'll should appreciate

Oh IM, I missed your location, I'm sure you have some fun toys there. Got anything to test micrometeor impacts, I'm stuck at 5000 ft/s?

You're in Albuquerque? Something tells me that there are all sorts of toys for simulating micrometeor impacts on the southeast side of town. And if that's not an option, a quick drive down to Socorro should give you another option.

I still wonder, what bullet over what charge did this?

@Ozzie: I'd love to post a pic, but I honestly don't have one of the gun itself. General specs though? 40 mm. 30(ish) foot long barrel.
@Tom: Bullet is a saboted chunk of metal; roughly 18 grams. Charge is (as stated previously) roughly 1 pound of 50 BMG.
Muzzle blast is...spectacular.
edit: While THIS DOCUMENT doesn't describe the gun in question, it does include information that will tell you what the gun in question was built for.
