I am no expert here, but I'm not understanding this.

It didn't fire so it's not a case of an overpowered round or anything like that.

Pulling repeatedly on what exactly? Does this mean the breech/chamber was stuck closed and the extractor was attached to the casing still and the range officer was pulling on the slide? Or the slide could be stopped back, but the round was jammed in the chamber somehow? Or what?

If the round didn't fire then how would it crack the frame? I'm not sure if the force of the recoil spring is sufficient by itself to crack the polymer frame if it wasn't already compromised somehow.

Not making any pronouncements or calling anybody out. Just thinking out loud. I don't get it.
