Exploded 50cal

NWDC Hive Mind, we need your help.
We keep pulling up goofy things from Port Townsend Bay. The last dive included this spent 50cal casing that appears to have blown up!
The question is, under what circumstances would a cartridge blow up like this, where the casing is expanding outward? Does that imply that the whole barrel of the gun blew too?
That was probably a bad day for someone.
