Or trying to kill him off.

So I understand a squib round blocking the barrel, but is it really possible/likely that some of the other minor obstructions (spiders, Q-tips, loose dirt) that have been mentioned would result in a burst barrel? I would think anything not substantial or substantially stuck would just get blown out of the way.
