How did McCree lose his arm?

I didn’t care about this until I heard one of McCree’s interactions between a character (i don’t remember which) and McCree, asking him what had happened to his arm. Can someone tell me how did mccree lose his arm?

The interaction is between him and Torbjorn (then he replies that he liked Torbjorn’s mechanical arm, so he thought about getting himself one), but I don’t think it’s ever been confirmed why exactly it happened. He had a normal arm during the events in Rialto, then he left Overwatch, then… we don’t know what happened.

him and junk rat were arrested together (wrong place wrong time) and they were cuffed at the arm together.

After escaping prison and defeating a robot with a lazer cutter mc cree took action as the arm lock had a tracking device. Jr ended up losing his favorite arm after mc crew used the laser cutter (the laser cutter wasn’t strong enough to cut the arm lock so he had to go option 2 ).

When he was younger, he trained as a gunslinger to face off against his arch nemesis. When he found out his friends were in danger, he left before his training was complete and subsequently got his arm shot off

He chewed it off so he could get a longer arm installed so he could shoot pharah with less fall off.

As of Uprising Comic (1 year after Venice Incident) - last shot of McCree in that comic was him Fanning-The-Hammer against an Omnic with a clearly normal left arm.

I always wondered if McCree sustained injuries while on unofficial recon during Uprising, enough to cost him his arm?
