Police national serviceman injured in misfiring incident

skythewood SG

last time put in poach. now change in directive due to "certain" incidence.

but i got misfiring gun before. the moment i load the round into the chamber, it fires off.... think some mechanism faulty.... but heng is blank, so not too bad.

the platoon sergeant tried it himself, same results, so conclude not my fault :)

but this one..... not too sure...

Maybe one of the SPF fellas can shed some light onto this?

If it turns out that no rounds are to be chambered, then the fella is in deeper shit than ever.

There should be three safety barriers to prevent accidental discharge:

a). Weapon should not be cocked.

b). Even if it's cocked, the weapon should be put to safe.

c). Finger should be off the trigger.

Actually, all SPF personnel carry loaded weapons while on duty. This is where the safety guidelines regarding weapon handling as well as loading/unloading come into the picture.

Especially your last point about finger being off the trigger..

Ermmm.....I dont remember when spf does not load their weapons for duties.

Even for the PCG, when they have those M16 & HKMP5s, its always unloaded by the last shift, reloaded and chambered with the safety on by the new shift taking over.

So the basic safety barriers to accidental discharge are:

1. Weapon put to safe.

2. Finger off the trigger.

In short, the weapon was really screwed up, or the fella screwed up on both counts.

There is also the issue, of whether weapon was put to shoot one shot, a burst of three of rapid fire. And the direction of the weapon on sling. to have shot someone in the groin, well.....its kinda difficult to believe its accident.

Tiggerific SG

Actually the shooting was indeed an accident. But there were plenty of breaches of orders with regards to weapon handling and the like.

That was the main reason why all this happened actually. Not so much to a faulty weapon.

Actually Kit, weapons are always personally issued to oneself via the Div/Unit armoury. Nowadays no such thing as handing/taking over of arms. All done via armoury before commencement of shifts; there are enough arms for everyone at each base.
