    That different sounding 2nd shot still has me wondering too. it had something to do with the catastrophe.
    It didn't sound weak, like a squib or even one that had the bullet exiting at 500 fps. Just different, I can't describe it well.
    Not quite as loud, a bit sharper report .
    At the time the 2nd shot didn't sound so unusual to make me feel like I should stop and inspect things. I wish I'd done that now.
    Sorry for the confusion.
    I was commenting on the video of the 500 S&W loosing its barrel.
