Gromit posted:Presumably someone brought in a licensed firearm. It's not illegal to have a pistol - a guy in my office has half a dozen or so. And if you're producing a film clip, it's not hard at all to find a professional movie armorer to provide firearms and supervision. Whether you get a good one that will actually supervise is another matter.

That's standard in lots of places like the DRC and Zambia - bridges look reasonable but you stop your vehicle and walk it first because of poo poo like this. You usually end up going around and finding a shallow water crossing.

wat Edit: I read that whole thing before it was removed and now I think I have tuberculosis. Anyway, back to wargaming and gaming the game chat, I read a story once of a US Army wargame in West Germany during the 70s where a platoon was accosted by a German farmer who accused their side of destroying some crops and fences of his. He insisted on speaking to their commanding officer and when he was in the tent with the CO, he pulled out a pistol and yelled "Bang!", taking the officer out of the game. He was a plant from the other side who spoke German well enough to fool his way in, and succeeded in beheading the command structure. Creative thinking is how this poo poo gets done.

There's no such thing as an "accidental discharge". The term that article needs is negligent discharge. Guns don't go off unless you pull the trigger, unless they are so poorly maintained that they can go off if you drop them, which means it's negligent to be loading them in the first place. He's a police sniper so I'm going to assume a certain level of firearm competence in regards to knowing his rifle is broken to the point when it could go off from being dropped. So that idiot either had his finger on the trigger, or let it get caught on something sticking out, but either way the rifle going off is 100% his fault.

Irradiation posted:Or they're made in Brazil. They actually had another problem with a similar gun from the same factory last year, where instead of going off by itself, it would go into uncontrollable runaway fire if you pulled the trigger, dumping the entire magazine at full auto. You could pretty easy make the case that Made In Brazil = poorly maintained. Jerry Cotton posted:By that logic there sure as hell have been very few accidents in the history of the world. Titanic sank? Why didn't they just go around the ice-berg. You? Daddy could've pulled out. Titanic sank because, among other stupid human actions, the guy with the key to the locker with the binoculars in it stayed home and didn't give the key to his replacement. Yes, a hell of a lot of "accidents" can be ascribed to human negligence. You though? poo poo, sometimes bad luck is a real thing. Memento fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I should have added "badly designed" to the section headed "poorly maintained" to cover these contingencies, true. I think that's why those Brazilian guns were such fuckups; they were Brazilian (poor manufacturing standards) copies of Taurus guns (poor manufacturing standards) which meant that instead of just being unreliable and poorly built, they were actively extremely dangerous.

Ok, didn't know that. I mean, the Air Force does have authority to move nuclear weapons, but only in very strict circumstances involving authorisation from the president, secretary of state, and joint chiefs. Listening to the new Hardcore History podcast ("The Destroyer of Worlds") and Carlin throws loving tons of shade at the American electorate during the second half. He goes on like a 9-minute lecture about how electing the US president is one of the biggest responsibilities in the world, how you're handing this terrible power to one person etc etc how this is something to consider soberly and rationally.

He was completely fine, except for the high-vis patches on his legs, where the synthetic fibre melted onto his leg straight away. He apparently has bands of scar tissue only there, and the company that was supplying the PPE was found to be cutting corners and not using proper fire retardant reflective material.
