When it finally popped, it sounded like a 9mm gun fired near my head.

If the hub is loose on the axle just not coming the rest of the way off then you probably have safety hubs. You can check for safety hubs by looking at the four fasteners that hold the backing plate to the axle housing. If two are bolt heads and two are studs with nuts then you probably have safety hubs.
