Possibly from bad reloading and from the photo an older shotgun not up to the task.

Thats an Auto 5
I don't think it is unless Browning did the same engraving that Remmy did. Mine has the exact same rooster on the reciever.
BTW they are the same guns but just different makers. I may have the Model number wrong but don't think so.

99% sure thats not a model 12.

I would agree, looks like a Browning A-5 to me. Hope the guy has a speedy recovery.

OK wrong on the model (like I said) but I know for a fact mine is a remmy and the one in the pic is a Remmy. Guess I'll have to post pics.
Do a google boys and girls if you doubt me.
Remmy model 11

History
John Browning presented his design (which he called his best achievement[3]) to Winchester, where he had sold most of his previous designs. When Winchester refused his terms, Browning went to Remington. Tragically, the president of Remington died of a heart attack as Browning waited to offer them the gun. This forced Browning to look overseas to produce the shotgun. It was produced by FN (a company that had already produced Browning-designed pistols) starting in 1902. Remington would later license-produce it as the Remington Model 11. (It was also license-produced by Savage and Franchi.[3]) The Model 11 was the first autoloading shotgun made in the USA. Production in Belgium continued until the start of World War II, when Browning-marked examples were produced by Remington Arms in the United States[4]. Unlike the Remington Model 11, the Remington-produced Browning shotguns had magazine cutoffs. Some 850,000 Remington Model 11 shotguns were produced before production ended in 1947. In 1952, production returned to FN, where it continued to be produced until the end. However, the majority of production moved to Japan in 1975. Finally, in 1998, manufacture of A-5s ceased except for a few commemorative models created at FN in 1999. By that time, it was well-established as the second-best-selling autoloading shotgun in U.S. history, after the Remington 1100

Family in Idaho that know Shawn well say that he is a super friendly guy and an avid pheasant hunter. It appears that this was a very freak accident by someone who hunts and shoots a lot. He is still in the hospital in Spokane. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We're very glad that he is still with us and will perhaps hunt again some day.
