No tellin' if it's real or a fake, I think Mythbuster tried to get a barrel to peel like that, and after many tries they only managed a partial peel ...
Look funny none the less ;)

Yea, I didn't think that was possible. I think Mythbusters only got one to crack, and didn't they completely plug the barrel?

I have seen another case like that before. Even to the point that the front part of the barrel partially ripped away.
