Cut a case in half lengthwise and you will likely see the the case is thinner right there. In other words, it will appear as a ring on the inside of the case.
This is evidence of excessive case stretching.
The barrel either has excess headspace, or the cases were trimmed too short. (Most likely the former.)
Combine that chamber, and this will happen.
If the gun fired out of battery, there'd be evidence of primer setback.

IMO, not likely. Headspace in a semi can be fine with just the extractor holding the case in place. What actually happens when you shoot slightly shorter brass in a properly setup semi. Worn extractor, the case would likely move forward far enough to not fire.
