    The bullet strike was a separate incident a few days earlier in another rifle. The suppressor had worked loose. Operator error. The little .17 bullet fragmented and punched a couple of holes in the over barrel aluminium. Also managed to eject quite a bit of gas out the back to toward the head of said shooter..

    Pays to check those suppressors are wound on tight regularly..
