"The gun involved is a 12 ga. Beretta 682 and its owner was shooting factory Federal promo loads (Top Gun- multi-purpose shell 1-1/8 oz. - 1200 fps) like youd buy a four-pak of in Wal-Mart. He was three stations into a round of sporting clays with no issues when they let go, injuring his left hand as pictured. At the explosion, the forearm fell off in three or four pieces,and the barrels fell away from the frame without his initiating that. He was injured enough to where he and his friends were thinking more about hospitals rather than where the empty cartridges went, so we dont have that to work from"

Unless he recocked it, the tumbler will either be engaged or not.
In the moments following the injury, I doubt it was reassembled, and recocked.

At least that's my take on it.
