I was wondering if whoever did that .....

was trying to shoot the stuck bullet out of the barrel? Or did they not know the bullet was stuck in the barrel and kept shooting?

I saw a S&W .38 Special that had 7 or 8 bullets stuck in the barrel with one protruding from the muzzle. In Vietnam a guy on patrol had a VC raise up in front of him and shoot at him. He nailed the VC and grabbed the guy's pistol that he had tried to shoot him with, tossed it in his backpack and did not look at it til he was off patrol. When he saw the bullet protruding from the muzzle he unlatched the cylinder and saw one stuck at the breech. He took it to the metal shop and they cut the side off the barrel and it was FULL from one end to the other with bullets stuck in it! The VC using it had to reload at least once and apparently never noticed the bullets were not coming out.
