So you're saying that metal recently fractured?
Maybe there was a defect in the metal like a micro-fissure or a pocket from when it was first cast that caused it to be weak.
Whatever the cause, do you think that it should be fixed and how?
Where do you think that the metal chip ended up going?
It didn't end up inside the gun, right?
