Shouldn’t the safety be on? Are they literally walking around half cocked?
You think these guys know what they’re doing?
This was my immediate question; like isn’t that basic firearm training stuff?!? Put the Safety On.
Yes, the first things I learned about guns we’re to verify they’re unloaded and that the safety is on.
So Acrobatic ICE Guy did neither of those two important steps. 1. gun loaded, 2. safety off. smh.
These rifles are equipped with a manual safety that absolutely should be on when carrying the rifle with a round in the chamber. Taking off that safety requires a simple flick of the thumb and doesn’t cause any delay in the use of the rifle. There is no excuse to not keep it on.
Unless they messed with it, these rifles are drop safe. Something could have pulled the trigger on the way down.
Edit
From another post below it is very possible that it was a rifle-mounted flashlight that had its switch bumped against and briefly flashed on. That still image really looks like the beam of a flashlight, not a muzzle flash. Especially given how the light is reflected by the snow, not visible in midair in front of the muzzle.
