It appears that the spoon is still in the grenade, but if you look closely at his left hand, you can tell he didn't hold it down well enough.

“I saw an AK-47 while in Vietnam and it had a 30 round magazine. So I cut the top and bottom off of a couple of M-14 Magazines and welded them together and made a “40” Round magazine for my M-14. It really didn’t work very well when test firing it, several of the last rounds would not chamber with only two springs. So I put “three” springs into the magazine, but then I could only load a little over 30 rounds. There just wasn’t enough room for three springs and 40 Full Metal Jacket rounds in that magazine. I sure received some strange looks while walking around with my 40 round magazine.” ~Larry Hilton

How the gently caress did this happen? The MG3 bolt strips off a fresh cartridge as it slams forward, the chamber stays empty otherwise. Must've been a malfunction.

Yeah, that was weird. Maybe dud primer in a round so it got stuck in the chamber? heat makes the round swell, and basically cooks it off.

That looks like what's happening. Shooter is all "WTF?" there for a moment so he hands it over. Not that it should be really necessary, misfire drill is just to rack the bolt again, or you get the dreaded Wedding Bouquet. Or, in this case, a face full of brass.

At the same time, the instructor racks the bolt back and it looks like an empty casing falls out, like if the gun went off fine but the bolt was stuck forward on the empty round. So the chamber should have been clear. Maybe a link separated with the round still attached and he didn't clear it from the hot gun before it went off?

Was it the MS that made him pull the plug so suddenly or was it something political?

MS from everyone I've heard tell that has actually talked to him. He hopes to go back to making more videos someday, though
