I was at a neighbors house a couple of months ago, and my neighbor was shooting a Glock .40 that belonged to a friend of his. The gun said: "BANG...BANG...BANG...pop"! My neighbor's friend yelled "STOP!". He immediately disassembled his Glock to find a bullet stuck in the barrel. It did not cycle another round behind it, but if it had, it could have been tragic. My neighbor's friend was telling us later that he had a lot of distractions when he was loading that batch of ammo. I would not ever recommend trying this to see what happens, as it would be way too easy (at least for me) to misplace the round, then load it in a magazine.
