looks like he was pulling the trigger with his right hand, but since it's an open bolt it could have been somehow stuck under the feed cover and slammed forward when he opened it.
Were they just finishing shooting? Sometimes the 240 just does that when it's hot. I don't know what or why, but I've witnessed multiple guns just BLAM in response to opening the top.
The bolt was not held back by the sear, but hung up half stripping a round from its link and opening the top cover let it go forward, at least that's my theory. I've heard about this specific malfunction on the 240, and they train you to open the top cover in a specific way so you don't catch brass bits with your face, but I've never seen it myself.
Possibly. It's been a while, and it didn't happen to me personally, so I can't say for sure if they were jammed or not, but I do distinctly recall one going off when the operator opened it right at the end of a simulated ambush. But yeah, there's a very good reason why you look away when opening the top cover.
Everyone I’ve talked to who are very experienced on the matter think it has to do with the difference of temperatures or the hot barrel and a jet of cool air rushing into the receiver from opening the feed cover

If you enter a gate, base, etc. when carrying a loaded weapon you have to clear it before going in. There is usually a drum filled w/sand where you drop your magazine, rack the slide/charging handle then dry fire into the barrel to proof it is clear. Sometimes people rack it before the mag drop, or do other stupid shit and boom into the barrel. I saw a legal clerk do it my 1st deployment and he got an article 15 lol.
They have these in police stations too, officers are expected to clear and check their weapons at the end of the shift, they usually have a little drum like object they stick their glawk into and dryfire it.
he should have cleared it after firing, there are several ways a 240 can fire unexpededly while clearing, all can be mitigated by just clearing it on the firing line before you're indoors and make yourself look like an idiot
this specific malfunction is caused by the bolt binding on the top cover and not on the sear, and then being sent forward when opening the cover. I'd count this one as his fault.
But seeing as he apparently didn't clear it before going inside, there could have been a round in the chamber that just cooked off when he opened the top without any mechanical malfunction at all.
How would there be a round in the chamber and not somehow fire at the same time. It's an open bolt weapon. It's meant specifically to combat this issue.
not a single cellphone in sight. just people living in the moment.
Clearly the guy with the m240 but it'll be a learning experience for him since he did it at that clearing station.

No, you still fricked it up moron. Everything after and including the question mark is junk.
Also quit posting shorts links holy frick morons.
Sure, here, fixed it
>WgXcQ
>people who know
thats funny.
I have never linked past the question mark because I didn't understand what the extra stuff was and didn't see the need for it.
*CLAP* normalize *CLAP* negligent *CLAP* discharges. It is a normal part of gun ownership
>shooting the clearing barrel
shit happens more often than you would like to think, I'd say once every 2 weeks when I was in the military I heard about happening
>clearing barrel
What the frick is a clearing barrel?
If you enter a gate, base, etc. when carrying a loaded weapon you have to clear it before going in. There is usually a drum filled w/sand where you drop your magazine, rack the slide/charging handle then dry fire into the barrel to proof it is clear. Sometimes people rack it before the mag drop, or do other stupid shit and boom into the barrel. I saw a legal clerk do it my 1st deployment and he got an article 15 lol.
A barrel filled with sand so when a moron is clearing their weapon and NDs it doesn't make things worse. Western militaries plan for their morons lol.
They have these in police stations too, officers are expected to clear and check their weapons at the end of the shift, they usually have a little drum like object they stick their glawk into and dryfire it.
A barrel filled with sand that's a designated safe direction to clear weapons in.
Is it just pogs being pogs? Or are these infantry and they’re just that moronic?
From what I heard it was a mix of everyone. From office workers to military police to combat roles.
Nobody, that's what the clearing station is for.

hangfire or the round on the feed tray cooks off, sometimes shit gets stuck in the barrel and fails to extract
Heh. Look at ~~*sig*~~ having yet another ND!
