It blew the bottom out of the mag along with the remaining two rounds.I quit for the day and gathered up all the pieces, thinking my franken AR had shelled out.Inspection did not reveal any broken parts or damage.(except to the mag) that's when I noticed brass deposited on the green follower, and made me look at all the brass, that's when I found it.I replaced the follower and put the mag back together, and continue to use the Ar and the mag.I was wearing eye protection and won't shoot without it!</blockquote>
