Bro, there's nothing like accidental discharge. To fire a rifle takes about 5 to 6 steps. Nigeria police only use that to cover up their incompetence.

Phemorinho:

There is nothing like accidental discharge like you said, but firing a rifle requires 3 steps.
For AK family ....open fire selector, c o c k the rifle and press the trigger. (3steps).
So, for someone to fire accidentally is not accidental, he/she must have the intention to fire.
In the instant case, the officer in question must have left the fire selector open and didn't remove his finger from the trigger, Or he must have put the fire selector on rapid.
But if he was carrying a G3 rifle, the rifle usually has a great disadavtage. The chamber might not have been totally rid of ammo, which must have spilled out and hit the victim.
In all my grammar sha, the officer did not exercise due care, skill and professionalism as a rifle man (rifle creed). He is at fault.

Go and sit down!
In this realm of insecurity everywhere & everyday you give a uniformed man a rifle without bullets?

U better wake up

kripen:


All of them are trained they are not civilian, they are armed men I understand most of them were trained by Nigeria military, it was just unfortunate that this happened.

PatrickOkunima:
I know exactly what I'm talking about, I included charging and loading of the magazine.

Phemorinho:

Are you talking about mounting the magazine or loading it?
Loading magazine is done right from the armoury, and mounting magazine shouldn't be counted as steps in firing a rifle. I also know what I'm talking about.

Harrisonwo:


if AK-bullet might have already be lodged in the chamber and safety is off. remember the report was security personnel were shooting in jubilation. so automatically, safety is off and ak lodges bullet immediately shot is fired. my question is, why face d barrel down instead of up

PatrickOkunima:
That's part of the training I mentioned earlier. You don't fire your rifle in jubilation. Only an indisciplined person does that. Secondly, if you must discharge your weapon without a target, the barrel must be facing a safe direction, preferably angle 45 degree.

PatrickOkunima:
I said in training school. If you don't know something, you keep quiet or ask questions.

xaggar:


We talking of the real world you talking of training school. You are the one out of point.
Olodo!

PatrickOkunima:
If they're not civilians, then what are they? By training, you mean taking them to the range for one or two days? You think that's enough? For your own safety, you better be cautious whenever you see these guys with weapons. At basic military training, they don't hand you a functional weapon until after about three months in training, and when they do, it's without ammo. Before you start carrying a loaded weapon, you must have spent between 5 and 6 months. Ask any military man if what I'm saying is false.

PatrickOkunima:
The kind of training they receive will determine their performance in the field. You should know this, if not for the fact that you reason through your anus.

xaggar:


You could as well train forever!
Is handling a gun as complicated as driving, using a computer or engineering?

Six or 5 months training in the military is for one to gain knowledge in warfare (warfare in it's totality) not just rifle handling.

If the military that trained them knew that one month is too short for rifle handling, i believe the military would have opted not to go ahead with the training.

In some real life war, kids between 10 to 18 years old are trained to handle rifles under 2-3 weeks and pushed to the warfront. Yet you make it seem as if rifle handling is further mathematics. No wonder you can't do the job.

My Guy!, Be satisfied with your file handling and Ctrl + c commands.

Exaggerating is what you are best-known for!

PatrickOkunima:
I'm sure you've never attended any military training, yet you write with such authority. Mo*on, there's more to weapon handling than cocking, aiming and firing. I don't have to explain that to a landlubber. FYI: In whatever I do or did, I've always been above my peers, and that includes my service in the military.

xaggar:


You bet I haven't been in any form of military training. But I sure do know how long it takes for a smart person to know how to handle a firearm.
Cocking, aiming, firing, stripping and assembling, servicing, handling etc can be learnt under a month. I repeat a month!

Your peers must have been airheads for you to have been best amongst them.

Who cares if you were a fake military personnel!
