Well, hopefully that dumbfuck wont do shit like that again.
How does one spend probably thousands on a 250 year old gun and [I]not[/I] properly take care of it.

It was very most likely a replica costing not much more than 300-500 bucks.

I wasn't aware it was 2108.
Yeah, when I saw the thumbnail I knew it had to have been loaded with smokeless powder. When loaded with black powder you really can't put too much into these revolvers (Well you can put so much in that the bullet/ball won't seat all the way and prevents the cylinder from rotating).
No amount of smokeless powder is safe to fire out of any black powder gun, the peak pressure is too high and even if it doesn't fail the first or second time, the stresses will build up and it will eventually fail.
If you think this is bad, should see what a rifle barrel does when loaded with smokeless powder, it peels like a banana [B]from the breech end[/B].

Whoever owned that Remmy is unbelievably lucky he didn't seriously hurt someone.
