I My guess is that the gun caused the fabric to "pop" (tear) on either entrance or exit (since it was pressurized).

Not exactly the same, but many years ago, I shot a can of coca cola with a pellet gun. The back of the can had a small exit hole the size of the pellet, but the front of the can split from top to bottom. I don't have a photo, but this is very similar to what mine looked like with the pellet traveling from right to left.
