What happened to this case?

[DadSmith]

I polished a bunch of once fired brass and was sorting through them and ran across this one.
What do you think caused this?

9mm

Hit by a lawnmower? I probably wouldn't use that one! It did clean up nicely though.

 

[Michigan Slim]

Mower is a good bet as Gaffer said.

Typical Glock brass.

 

[DadSmith]

I tossed it into the bad brass container.
I don't think I've seen one this messed up in awhile.
Out of 15lbs it's so far the only bad one.

Careful biting the bullets when performing an amputation…

Stove pipe jam in the pistol.

Stove pipe jam in the pistol.

I bet you’re right. It looks like someone used excessive force to remove it. Looks like it will buff out though. (JK)

I doubt a stovepipe, its a fired case. More like what's posted above, hit by a mower blade.

 

[Leo]

I thought a stove pipe is a fired round that did not stroke the slide hard enough to hit the ejector while the extractor hook was still holding it. This blocks the next round and the slide closes on the spent, but still held case.

The open end of the fired round points upward like a chimney.

Edit: I do not know why "Age Verification" shows. It is the link to the correct article.

Just grab the picture if you can like so.



If the person is using a heavy-duty recoil spring could that possibly have dent the rim? Also Making it look like a lawnmower hit it?
Yet there is another dent in the middle of the case also.

I was thinking stovepipe, followed by lawnmower. Lol

Insert why-not-both meme here

Somebody fired it from a pistol braced 9mm which turned it into a gun and thereby upped the caliber, making it a larger caliber.......
