What type of magazine were you using, and what happened to it when the blowout happened?
The one overpressure kaboom I've seen (at the Ft Lewis shoothouse during a blankfire run) involved an M16A2, blanks, and a GI mag. It blew off then end of the extractor claw (I was a safety, up top the catwalk, and a sizable fireball came out the ejector port) and blew out the bottom of the magazine.
It would seem to me that that route would offer considerably less resistance than through the sidewall of the upper receiver.
