Looks like a Beretta or a clone. How the hell does that happen?!

He doesn't look Italian to me so I'm going to say a clone.

Looks like the firing pin was jammed up in the forward position.
Basically working like an open bolt auto.
Didn’t even look to have his finger on the trigger.

I had a crappy Jennings .22 pocket pistol do that to me once. Try holding onto a little tiny thing like that when it decides to magdump.

That sounds like a solid answer! I read about " hammer follow" but I couldn't follow

SKSs were notorious for it if you didn't get all the cosmo out of the bolt carrier.

Were you out in the desert or at a range. Have to imagine the ro's at any indoor range would have kittens after something like that!

Actually, it was right here on my little 1 acre ranchette just north of Surprise. We're very rural out here, with dirt roads and all. Nobody is recreationally shooting in the neighborhood, but with rattlesnakes and whatall, hearing a single round pop off on occasion is somewhat normal.

I have a 5-gallon bucket of sand as a bullet stop next to my loading bench in the garage that I use as a place to point the muzzle on weapons as I load or unload them. But on this occasion, I didn't want to drive someplace just to verify the little popper worked. So I decided I was gonna let off just a single round (maybe 2) into the sand bucket,...because it was just a .22 after all. The little Jennings was left behind in a rental house managed by a friend who is a property manager for out-of-state residential rental investment owners. (You'd be amazed what people abandon when they move.) There was also a rusty beat up old Savage 12ga. pump missing the buttstock. As the gundude in my circle of friends, these were handed off to me for inspection and cleaning and whatever simple repair might be needed short of taking them to a gunsmith.

I had just finished cleaning up the Jennings. I inserted a full magazine, pointed it at the bucket, pulled the slide back (finger off the trigger), then let it fly home. BRRRRRRRRAP!!!!!!!

Yep,...that free pistol worked about as well you'd expect a FREE pistol to work.
