A shooting buddy sent me the picks. The gun wound up in a gun shop that a friend of his owns. The guy wasn't hurt.

I had some meathead pull this same stunt while standing right next to me in a gravel pit one day about 25 years ago. His was a Ruger Blackhawk in .41 mag, damaged in much the same way, but with the barrel pointing down as well. Double charge of Unique was the suspected culprit. It sprayed shards all over me; luckily it was a cold winter day and I was pretty bundled up. It still managed to bloody the side of my face a bit, but with ear muffs and safety glasses, none of the shards hit anything important. He was okay, too - this never seems to harm the shooter, just those unfortunate enough to be standing next to him.
