Indiana really is a magic place, isn't it?

The velocity of a 22lr round going off when not in a barrel will generally be below 200 ft/sec. And it's one of the most deadly bullets when not in a gun. Most larger bullets will just push the bullet out and the powder doesn't explode if there isn't any pressure buildup in the chamber, but a 22lr has a stronger cartridge sidewall and a tighter crimp, so it comes out quickly.

He should be lucky the hammer didn't come back up off the anvil and smack him between the eyes.

Bless you. Begun to worry I'd have to barge in here and explain that one.
