human error again... sigh..Originally posted by ditzy:Ok, this is what I know.
Apparently, the gun was brought back to armskote without proper clearing. No one was aware that a round was still present in the chamber. Worse thing is DO never check clear all arms when T/O. So you can guess how many ppl down the line are gonna get it.
While attempting to remedy the gun, still unaware the round was present. The bolt was pulled and the firing pin triggered the round causing it to go off. Yes, in the armskote. Imagine how loud thats gonna be. Good thing the open chamber was facing the ground. So now got ppl partially deaf and blind. Very unlucky.

Well the info i got from an armourer who was there to kaypoh. So if he tell me lies, i also telling lies. Can't say anymore.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Are you sure that the weapon's chamber was pointed to the ground?I dont think the round flew out because the receiver is somehow warped.No more can I say.
Its reported in the straits times dated 26th feb. Weapon never check clear and brought back. Thats not the worst. DO do T/O also never check clear.Originally posted by spyder:it happened in the armskote??? i thought it was during exercise or live firing time... like that seems like a lot a lot of people will get into deep deep shit... never check clear... tsk tsk... suay suay suay... i hope those injured can recover quickly...
