Shit, a guy in my unit fired an m9 into a clearing barrel in the middle of post. He dropped the mag, but didn’t rack the slide, and fired the chambered round with like 6 people walking by. He didn’t even get in trouble.
Why tf is the release barrel located inside a building in the first place? And why tf is there so many personnel around in this area? At an indoor shooting range, you keep your ear protection on untill you are outside the room! The Sergeant/Sargent 2nd class is not wearing over the ear protection nor anyone else! FUBAR!!!
Well..A few things. 1) At least it was in a safe direction and in a clearing barrel 2) At least it wasnt because the bolt slammed forward on a round, he actually pulled the trigger which IS part of the clearing procedure, BUT 3) The clearing procedure requires you to open the feed tray cover to actually LOOK if its clear LOL
Exactly. It also requires that you remove any ammo as well. Which you would see as soon as you open the feed tray. If its a 249 or 240 why didnt he remove the ammo box on the bottim though?
If you pay close attention he doesnt pull the trigger. The bolt drops when he opens the top cover the second time. This apparently happens fairly often if a 240B hasn't been cleaned in a while. Why the hell he didn't remove the box and belt before cocking the thing is beyond me.

Yea especially with open bolt MGs their is a risk that they will still have a round chambered when you fire off the action unlike a rifle that should never have a round in the chamber when your clearing it
Justin. No matter how you see it that round could had blown someone's head off. In Parris Island. We never used that pos can. We use metal buckets filled with beach sand which is very fine. Add some water and it'll stop. Even .30 rounds.
@@emanuelquinones2534 in the UK we normally have external areas that are brick backed filled with sand and when I say filled I mean like a hood couple of foot deep and like 7ft tall
The M249 and M240 are open bolt weapons so to properly clear it you have to open the feed tray first and then rack the bolt to the rear to inspect there's no round on the bolt face and if there is DO NOT ride the bolt forward.
I know right lol, I spent 20.5 years in the Navy and I was actually attached to a Marine Corps unit as a Corpsman for 7 years. My ears ring like crazy but my ear ringing is rated service connected though.

Not a comment on combat arms vs support units and how they respond to the sound of gunfire.

That Movie is a gift that keeps on giving too bad no one paid attention to the message how wallstreet has always and the bankers have always tucked Over the little Guy
The guy who closes the lid is at fault: clearly that was a trainee and the point of pulling the slide back is to visually inspect that no round is in the chamber before you drop the bolt ... Can't inspect the chamber with the lid closed.
The clearing station is there for a reason, an otherwise dangerous discharge became a jump scare, embarrassment and, hopefully temporary, loss of hearing.
I’ve had to get on some soldiers about using the clearing station at the range a few times. That is what it’s there for. Much rather this out come then someone getting a new hole
Found out the CO made a statement on what happened. I can't remember the names of anyone or what unit they're with unfortunately. But the CO said something along the lines of, "he screwed up because he's human. At least he screwed up in the safest way possible using the best thing to have a screw up. That's what the clearing barrels are for."

Wait what? I thought it had to be closed to propel the slug and still have enough gas to slide the bolt back to get the next round. Time for some research and thanks for the most interesting comment of the day so far. Shit got me excited
@@yrufollowingme open bolt means that the bolt is open (back) by default. Pulling the trigger makes it rush forward, push a round in the chamber, closes the bolt and hits the primer at the same time, firing immediately, bushing the bolt back again. This way you never have a round sitting in the chamber, which can get very hot in a machine gun. This prevents ammo cooking off.
@@Alezcollection i think u are to dumb to understand what i mean but yea what i can expect from ppl what need clearin barrel xDD to not shot someone xD this country is dead inside

What are they doing? Not sure whats going on, I kno his gun went off in that thing which I guess is what it’s for? Was he trying to empty his gun but a bullet was in the chamber?
@@jenicdarling9425So this thing is called a bullet trap/catcher. It's to ensure that a gun is fully empty and is there as a secondary measure, just in case the very same thing in the video happens. Rather than have a stray bullet hit something or someone, it's to 'catch' these bullets in the aforementioned scenario.
@@josemiguelortizmartinez6531 10000000000000000% my mistake. It’s a clearing barrel. Whenever you comeback onto base during wartime or exit a firing range in or enter a military insulation with your weapon you “clear the barrel”. The entire purpose is so should you accidentally pull the trigger on base you know for a fact that your chamber is empty because you already cleared your weapon or worst case, discharged/fired into the barrel. You put your muzzle (rifle barrel) inside the clearing barrel, drop the magazine, pull the action back so the round flies out and then pull the trigger. I was all hopped up on energy coming off a mission, did every step except the most important which is dropping my magazine. So I pulled the action back, my round popped out but when I let go another loaded. I was moving too fast/not paying attention and immediately pulled the trigger and shot the round into the barrel. I will never forget the look on my battle buddies face. The clearing barrel is there for a reason. Dumbasses like me ;)
You fucked up in the best way possible though. So you're not entirely without intelligence lol. It's never happened to me but I saw it happen once but I didn't laugh because even I know I can fuck up. But one guy in my security team was caught spinning his M9 around his finger like a gunslinger and a chief or whatnot saw him and immediately had him sent up to mass. He got brought back all the way to an E-2 from an E-4, lost half his pay for 3-6 months and got at least 3 months restriction with extra duties. Guy was the ship's joke for a long time. Hope that story helps you feel at least a little bit better, my dude.
Im not sure whats more funnier the clearing barrel or the laugh at the end… the majestic laugh that any normal person would have in a situation like this.
That Sergeant watching over the weapons clearing station just earned him a one on one with the company commander. And they ain’t going to be talking about the weather.
It depends, Fucking up at the clearing barrel normally isn't treated the same as an ND in the wild. Normally just a stern talking to and correctives not punishments. The safety equipment is there for a reason, if you start punishing people for not operating it correctly they tend to just start avoiding the safety equipment altogether. Or as one First sergeant put it, "You have failed, But you failed with proper procedure!". Don't get me wrong this guy is gonna get an uncomfortable amount questions about his weapon's condition all day every day, prolly gonna spend quite a few hours drilling proper clearing procedure, people are gonna start putting in ear pro every time he gets close to them lol etc. etc. but I knew a few barrel blasters or witnesses to them and none of em got smoked like you might think.@@trevorbishop3346
It’s air force he’ll be fine, plus it’ll be a one on one by the lowest ranking officer in The building not the highest. They’ll provably go out and eat food
Everyone says this was the Army but unfortunately as a Security Forces airman we have to take credit for this one. I know somebody who was here for this.
I was a 249 gunner for my squad. The 249's we had were old as hell and had problems. Luckily this happened with blanks. I was assigned to our BMG (Battery Maintenance Group) and since I had the only heavy weapon on our side of the site my warrant officer wanted me to have my 249 always charged with the safety off. That way if anything happened to me anyone can just pick it up and fire. One day while we were out in in the field after doing a live fire convoy after we got to site and finished deploying everything I went to the bmg trailer to collect my warrant officers 9mm's because they didn't like carrying them. I walked in opened the bi-pod on my 249 and set it on the parts drawers countertop and it just started racking off rounds. I dropped the belt container and twisted the belt to stop it but it already cooked off 28 rounds. Luckily I was talking with one of my warrants when it happened so I had him as a witness that it wasn't something I had done to make it go off.
Damn ! One time in my late teens I was with this girl and I was charged with the saftey definitely off, and once I laid her down I ended up discharging.. but I was happy nobody was there to witness it
@richardcaruso002 yeah, but HOW did a fragment or ricochet(even worse) occur?? The 'safe hole' or bullet trap is supposed to stop exactly this! Never seen anything like this before!
As an Army Veteran and a unit armor, I had, on occasion, received weapons from the range that still had live rounds in them. They are supposed to be cleared before they leave the range and the bolt locked to the rear and the chamber open when turned back in. But more than once I’ve had a round come flying out when the soldier clears the weapon at the arms room door.
Judging by the head of hair on the guy in center frame I'm guessing this may be a national guard unit (still ballsy showing up to drill looking like that). No way that meets uniform regs.
The NCO didn’t inspect the chamber and 9 times outta 10 that soldier is probably E-1 thru E-3 so he still might forget to check his weapon himself before leaving the range. And now that I mentioned range, where was the NCO who was at his lane to ensure all weapons where clear before they got to the 2nd checkpoint of being cleared off the range? And now you have a soldier who has a weapon that could’ve possibly killed somebody off of a ricochet. That entire unit will have to go thru weapon and range training and tighten up on NCO’s who don’t pay attention to detail.
This is why people in the military hate the military. It was an accident. The accident shouldn’t dictate someone’s entire career. It happen where an accident should happen, at the clearing barrel.
@@BunkerBleu some people get rank and more money and forget that they have responsibilities duties as NCOs to lead soldiers. Weapons safety is paramount.

Yeah, you make such a mistake, everybody else pay. You get to sit on a stool, watch while they get punished. Afterwards you'll get educated by your peers.
I was in the Marine Corps infantry and an ITP we convinced one of the guys to do a desk Pop he got his ass beat for that because it was back in the day. I feel like nowadays they just give you a stern talking to.
I've had to deal with similar situations with my Marines. Despite everyone going to SOI, people forget that the M240 is not a rifle and fires from an open bolt.
The 240 always fires itself as soon as the bolt is closed, and sometimes the only thing holding it back is a feed jam. Lifting the top cover frees the jam, the bolt flies forward with a live round in front of it and BANG.
Yes it is called a clearing barrel but ur not supposed to intentionally fire into the barrel to clear the weapon. Its there for safety while u check whether the weapon still has rounds inside and take them out if there are any
@@benjamintan5399 I was and still are under the impression that was exactly what he was doing. I thought he was just as surprised if not more than anyone else that a round was in the chamber?
we had a guy almost shoot an instructor in the foot (open range, you aproach in buddy pairs and 50 meters appart, you get the ammo for the exercise, at the end of the line just before shooting), he just played with the trigger. We had another kid in the same year take his own life, also on the open range, he was in full gear, helmet on, just pulled his 556 up and shot himself in the chin, we were in the middle of a massive training area, he lived for maybe 15 minutes or so before he stopped moving. It was crazy to us that he survived the shot at all, sadly when rescue arrived it was already too late. He learned in the days before that exercise that he failed basic training, and had to repeat the 3 months (not to badmouth him but he had all of the worst qualities a soldier can have, never helped with any group tasks, never pulled his weight, smoked 2 packs a day but coild not complete a 10k without gear after months of training etc.). That was very sad to see, luckily due to the separation on the range, it was all officers around him, his buddy was 20 meters away and the rest of the group was 100m away with 2 soldiers in between at 50. Due to the nature of the range no one in the back realized what was going on in the first minute or two. Worst part is that we had to complete a blind 15km orientation march back to base after that (minus a few who lost it when they realized what happened). Personally that march helped me process everything, as it was me and my buddy in the middle of nowhere in an european woodland... Sorry to turn the fun video this dark, just instantly reminded me of that kid.
@@foxmulder4196 Yeah, it was hard on me, basically every company of recruitsvotes for a "person of trust" a soldier others can talk to if they don't want to talk to superiors about it (then depending on the situation, that person would talk to the superiors). In our case I was selected to be that person, and I was happy to do it. That kid used the opportunity to talk to me A LOT, like at bed time he would pull me out my room and we would often talk for an hour or so, also always ate all my treats I had kept in my locker. He was depressed and sad for stupid reasons. Teenage heartache, he was always unhygienic, and I had to talk to him about it, because he would not listen to others. He did make a few dark comments, not suicidal per se, but dark, I put a lot of time into lifting this guy up, even tho he fcked us multiple times by deliberately not pulling his weight. I talked to superiors about the comments he made, but they agreed that it was probably just him whining. Well I guess repeating basic hit different for him, and was too much for real. I struggled for some time unsure if I could have done more...
@@GodOfMoonlight Not many witnessed it, those who did were taken away for questioning (I think, not sure), most learned after we got back to base. I was relatively close, but had no official questioning or anything. Most guys just saw someone laying on the ground which was not uncommon, it was a very hot summer and basic training, you had some overweight and unfit guys who just could not handle the heat, many inexperienced kids not hydrating enough etc. so someone collapsing was a regular thing. We were also technically under an Artillery Batallion, so you would hear gunfire and artillery fire throughout our field training. The blind orientation march: Basically, after 4 or 5 days out in the woods (training area), we packed up, and boarded buses to go back to base. We started driving in the opposite direction of the base, were called out in groups of 3-4 men, and were thrown out of the bus in an unknown location, with our gear, a small map of the general area, and a few notes. The notes told us that military and military police would be patrolling the entire area, that we were not to be seen by them, we were not supposed to use roadways and streets (for the same reason), we were not supposed to interact with civilians or employ any sort of transport other than walking, and we had to be back in the base in like 8 hours or so.
Most civilians would not understand. Anytime a unit comes back from a liver fire exercise and after NCOs have insured all weapons are safe (bolt to the rear; empty chamber; no magaizine), the last check at the armory is to place the weapons barrel into a sand trap or water trap; cycle the action, insure the bolt is home, take the weapon off SAFE and pull the trigger. Most cases the weapon makes a slight 'click' sound when the bolt goes home. However, if a live round was still in the chamber, it will be expended.
wait... the military intentionaly dry fires all its weapons? are you serious? thats hundreds of millions of dollars every month in pointless damage... firearms are never supposed to be dry fired. EVER. damages the firing pin.
Problem is this is an open bolt belt fed so there is no round still chambered. I don’t understand how they somehow lifted the feed tray cover and didn’t manage to see and remove any rounds on the feed tray during clearing. Belt feds are by far the easiest weapon to visually and physically clear…pure failure here
Story time. In basic i was the best shot in my platoon so i was rewarded with carrying the saw. The first day i had it i asked my drill "how do i chamber a round", she replied …"pull the bolt back" and then didnt say anything else. In my mind the bolt should also have gone back forward so i didn't see why a round would be chambered. I said "and now i pull the trigger" thinking this would chamber one round. Drill said "yes" meaning the weapon would fire. At this moment she happened to be standing directly in front of me as im laying on the ground. I pulled the trigger to "chamber" a round, i didnt really think about where she was standing and was looking at the weapon trying to learn it, the weapon fired and kept firing. Because we were in basic training all i shot were blanks. I fired about 30 blank rounds directly at my drill. My Drill literally disappeared into a ball of fire and dirt that was getting kicked ip at her. I can still see her standing there in flames and smoke and dirt just dancing around like actual bullets were hitting her. She flopped like a fish and was probably crapping her BDUs. i looked over at my battle buddy who had a look of horror on his face because he knew were both getting recycled back to 0 week. I let off if the trigger and Drill quits dancing and flopping. Shes covered in soot, dirt, her hat is burt, shes got crispy eyebrows and now im about to crap my BDUs. She starts kicking dirt in my face and telling me how if i ever do that again it better be the GD enemy and so forth and so on. She finally quits yelling at me and pulls her crispy little hat back on, that was hilarious, and walked away needing a fresh uniform. For whatever reason, and id like to think its because she understood our failure to communicate, i never heard another word about it. I wish i knew where her crispy hat went, that thing would have been a trophy. Its funny now, and then, but in reality two people made a mistake that day that in a very similar situation could have killed a great person. Be careful everyone, dont be me, and learn what an open bolt configuration is. Update.. That Battle Buddies dad passed while we were in AIT together, that was 17 years ago when he was 17. I was a lot older in basic, mid 30s going back and doing something I had wanted to do when I was 17.

We were clearing pistols after shift (I was a MP), PFC B (name redacted) forgot to drop his magazine, chambered a round and fired into the clearing barrel, SSG F was so PO'd and yelling at B that SSG F did the same thing and fired a round into the barrel. He looked at his pistol and fire the remaining 4 into the barrel. I should note that this was 1988 and we were using M1911s with 5 in the magazine.

The guy who closes the lid is at fault: clearly that was a trainee and the point of pulling the slide back is to visually inspect that no round is in the chamber before you drop the bolt ... Can't inspect the chamber with the lid closed.
The clearing station is there for a reason, an otherwise dangerous discharge became a jump scare, embarrassment and, hopefully temporary, loss of hearing.
Still counts as a negligent discharge and likely some admin/UCMJ issues gonna ruin this Soldiers day lol.
Failure to control your weapon. The supervisor should’ve been there watching, imo.

When you forget your firearm fires from an open bolt.
Does it actually
Most belt fed machine guns do.
Wait what? I thought it had to be closed to propel the slug and still have enough gas to slide the bolt back to get the next round. Time for some research and thanks for the most interesting comment of the day so far. Shit got me excited
@@yrufollowingme open bolt means that the bolt is open (back) by default. Pulling the trigger makes it rush forward, push a round in the chamber, closes the bolt and hits the primer at the same time, firing immediately, bushing the bolt back again. This way you never have a round sitting in the chamber, which can get very hot in a machine gun. This prevents ammo cooking off.

Bro but what was your mistake? You didn't put the secure or what? Sorry I don't know nothing about guns or rifles.
What are they doing? Not sure whats going on, I kno his gun went off in that thing which I guess is what it’s for? Was he trying to empty his gun but a bullet was in the chamber?
@@jenicdarling9425So this thing is called a bullet trap/catcher. It's to ensure that a gun is fully empty and is there as a secondary measure, just in case the very same thing in the video happens. Rather than have a stray bullet hit something or someone, it's to 'catch' these bullets in the aforementioned scenario.
@@josemiguelortizmartinez6531 10000000000000000% my mistake. It’s a clearing barrel. Whenever you comeback onto base during wartime or exit a firing range in or enter a military insulation with your weapon you “clear the barrel”. The entire purpose is so should you accidentally pull the trigger on base you know for a fact that your chamber is empty because you already cleared your weapon or worst case, discharged/fired into the barrel. You put your muzzle (rifle barrel) inside the clearing barrel, drop the magazine, pull the action back so the round flies out and then pull the trigger. I was all hopped up on energy coming off a mission, did every step except the most important which is dropping my magazine. So I pulled the action back, my round popped out but when I let go another loaded. I was moving too fast/not paying attention and immediately pulled the trigger and shot the round into the barrel. I will never forget the look on my battle buddies face. The clearing barrel is there for a reason. Dumbasses like me ;)
You fucked up in the best way possible though. So you're not entirely without intelligence lol. It's never happened to me but I saw it happen once but I didn't laugh because even I know I can fuck up. But one guy in my security team was caught spinning his M9 around his finger like a gunslinger and a chief or whatnot saw him and immediately had him sent up to mass. He got brought back all the way to an E-2 from an E-4, lost half his pay for 3-6 months and got at least 3 months restriction with extra duties. Guy was the ship's joke for a long time. Hope that story helps you feel at least a little bit better, my dude.

“Your hearing loss was not service related”
I was a 249 gunner for my squad. The 249's we had were old as hell and had problems. Luckily this happened with blanks. I was assigned to our BMG (Battery Maintenance Group) and since I had the only heavy weapon on our side of the site my warrant officer wanted me to have my 249 always charged with the safety off. That way if anything happened to me anyone can just pick it up and fire. One day while we were out in in the field after doing a live fire convoy after we got to site and finished deploying everything I went to the bmg trailer to collect my warrant officers 9mm's because they didn't like carrying them. I walked in opened the bi-pod on my 249 and set it on the parts drawers countertop and it just started racking off rounds. I dropped the belt container and twisted the belt to stop it but it already cooked off 28 rounds. Luckily I was talking with one of my warrants when it happened so I had him as a witness that it wasn't something I had done to make it go off.

Thats how you end up on extra duty. Also the same reason why you ALWAYS treat EVERY gun as if it is loaded, even if you've "cleared" it.

@@carlousmagus5387want a green weenie with that
Op is paying attention😂
@richardcaruso002 yeah, but HOW did a fragment or ricochet(even worse) occur?? The 'safe hole' or bullet trap is supposed to stop exactly this! Never seen anything like this before!
As an Army Veteran and a unit armor, I had, on occasion, received weapons from the range that still had live rounds in them. They are supposed to be cleared before they leave the range and the bolt locked to the rear and the chamber open when turned back in. But more than once I’ve had a round come flying out when the soldier clears the weapon at the arms room door.
As a former combat engineer assigned as unit armorer, I 100% concur.
Judging by the head of hair on the guy in center frame I'm guessing this may be a national guard unit (still ballsy showing up to drill looking like that). No way that meets uniform regs.

@@tanberetO of course there’s not. Look at the kits
This isnt basic…
The NCO didn’t inspect the chamber and 9 times outta 10 that soldier is probably E-1 thru E-3 so he still might forget to check his weapon himself before leaving the range. And now that I mentioned range, where was the NCO who was at his lane to ensure all weapons where clear before they got to the 2nd checkpoint of being cleared off the range? And now you have a soldier who has a weapon that could’ve possibly killed somebody off of a ricochet. That entire unit will have to go thru weapon and range training and tighten up on NCO’s who don’t pay attention to detail.
They both probably lost a stripe.
I’ve never been in military or anything and I still know to always always always triple check your weapon and insure it’s clear
This is why people in the military hate the military. It was an accident. The accident shouldn’t dictate someone’s entire career. It happen where an accident should happen, at the clearing barrel.

@@chocbear8394that was not a 249 lol. thats a 240
@@bigsoap186excuse me, I have played every call of duty game ever released and you are wrong.
@BlindGuardian050 definitely a 240 bud. The receiver is too big to be a 249
That’s me walking away, I didn’t see shit.. hahaha
That’s exactly what the clearing barrel is for! Clearing your weapons
Yes it is called a clearing barrel but ur not supposed to intentionally fire into the barrel to clear the weapon. Its there for safety while u check whether the weapon still has rounds inside and take them out if there are any
@@benjamintan5399 I was and still are under the impression that was exactly what he was doing. I thought he was just as surprised if not more than anyone else that a round was in the chamber?
How about making sure that there are no rounds in the weapon first?
Yes, but it’s a last line of protection. Having a live round in the chamber means you effed up.
@@benjamintan5399who said it was intentional?
we had a guy almost shoot an instructor in the foot (open range, you aproach in buddy pairs and 50 meters appart, you get the ammo for the exercise, at the end of the line just before shooting), he just played with the trigger.
We had another kid in the same year take his own life, also on the open range, he was in full gear, helmet on, just pulled his 556 up and shot himself in the chin, we were in the middle of a massive training area, he lived for maybe 15 minutes or so before he stopped moving. It was crazy to us that he survived the shot at all, sadly when rescue arrived it was already too late. He learned in the days before that exercise that he failed basic training, and had to repeat the 3 months (not to badmouth him but he had all of the worst qualities a soldier can have, never helped with any group tasks, never pulled his weight, smoked 2 packs a day but coild not complete a 10k without gear after months of training etc.). That was very sad to see, luckily due to the separation on the range, it was all officers around him, his buddy was 20 meters away and the rest of the group was 100m away with 2 soldiers in between at 50. Due to the nature of the range no one in the back realized what was going on in the first minute or two. Worst part is that we had to complete a blind 15km orientation march back to base after that (minus a few who lost it when they realized what happened). Personally that march helped me process everything, as it was me and my buddy in the middle of nowhere in an european woodland... Sorry to turn the fun video this dark, just instantly reminded me of that kid.
I actually imagined the whole scene while reading your comment.
The kid that sgot himself well I guess he couldn't hack it..
@@foxmulder4196 Yeah, it was hard on me, basically every company of recruitsvotes for a "person of trust" a soldier others can talk to if they don't want to talk to superiors about it (then depending on the situation, that person would talk to the superiors). In our case I was selected to be that person, and I was happy to do it. That kid used the opportunity to talk to me A LOT, like at bed time he would pull me out my room and we would often talk for an hour or so, also always ate all my treats I had kept in my locker. He was depressed and sad for stupid reasons. Teenage heartache, he was always unhygienic, and I had to talk to him about it, because he would not listen to others. He did make a few dark comments, not suicidal per se, but dark, I put a lot of time into lifting this guy up, even tho he fcked us multiple times by deliberately not pulling his weight. I talked to superiors about the comments he made, but they agreed that it was probably just him whining. Well I guess repeating basic hit different for him, and was too much for real. I struggled for some time unsure if I could have done more...
@@foxmulder4196 Also this was not the USA, no drill instructors, disciplined but fair treatment etc...
Don’t mean to sound dumb but what exactly is a blind 15km orientation march? Why did you guys have to do it after witnessing something like that 🤔
@@GodOfMoonlight Not many witnessed it, those who did were taken away for questioning (I think, not sure), most learned after we got back to base. I was relatively close, but had no official questioning or anything. Most guys just saw someone laying on the ground which was not uncommon, it was a very hot summer and basic training, you had some overweight and unfit guys who just could not handle the heat, many inexperienced kids not hydrating enough etc. so someone collapsing was a regular thing. We were also technically under an Artillery Batallion, so you would hear gunfire and artillery fire throughout our field training.
The blind orientation march:
Basically, after 4 or 5 days out in the woods (training area), we packed up, and boarded buses to go back to base. We started driving in the opposite direction of the base, were called out in groups of 3-4 men, and were thrown out of the bus in an unknown location, with our gear, a small map of the general area, and a few notes. The notes told us that military and military police would be patrolling the entire area, that we were not to be seen by them, we were not supposed to use roadways and streets (for the same reason), we were not supposed to interact with civilians or employ any sort of transport other than walking, and we had to be back in the base in like 8 hours or so.
Most civilians would not understand. Anytime a unit comes back from a liver fire exercise and after NCOs have insured all weapons are safe (bolt to the rear; empty chamber; no magaizine), the last check at the armory is to place the weapons barrel into a sand trap or water trap; cycle the action, insure the bolt is home, take the weapon off SAFE and pull the trigger. Most cases the weapon makes a slight 'click' sound when the bolt goes home. However, if a live round was still in the chamber, it will be expended.
wait... the military intentionaly dry fires all its weapons? are you serious? thats hundreds of millions of dollars every month in pointless damage... firearms are never supposed to be dry fired. EVER. damages the firing pin.
Problem is this is an open bolt belt fed so there is no round still chambered. I don’t understand how they somehow lifted the feed tray cover and didn’t manage to see and remove any rounds on the feed tray during clearing. Belt feds are by far the easiest weapon to visually and physically clear…pure failure here

😊
Thank you for explaining
They fire on real livers?
They all moved like npcs when the main character did something...😂😂
First Sergeant is coming. I can sense it.
Story time. In basic i was the best shot in my platoon so i was rewarded with carrying the saw. The first day i had it i asked my drill "how do i chamber a round", she replied …"pull the bolt back" and then didnt say anything else. In my mind the bolt should also have gone back forward so i didn't see why a round would be chambered. I said "and now i pull the trigger" thinking this would chamber one round. Drill said "yes" meaning the weapon would fire. At this moment she happened to be standing directly in front of me as im laying on the ground. I pulled the trigger to "chamber" a round, i didnt really think about where she was standing and was looking at the weapon trying to learn it, the weapon fired and kept firing. Because we were in basic training all i shot were blanks. I fired about 30 blank rounds directly at my drill. My Drill literally disappeared into a ball of fire and dirt that was getting kicked ip at her. I can still see her standing there in flames and smoke and dirt just dancing around like actual bullets were hitting her. She flopped like a fish and was probably crapping her BDUs. i looked over at my battle buddy who had a look of horror on his face because he knew were both getting recycled back to 0 week. I let off if the trigger and Drill quits dancing and flopping. Shes covered in soot, dirt, her hat is burt, shes got crispy eyebrows and now im about to crap my BDUs. She starts kicking dirt in my face and telling me how if i ever do that again it better be the GD enemy and so forth and so on. She finally quits yelling at me and pulls her crispy little hat back on, that was hilarious, and walked away needing a fresh uniform. For whatever reason, and id like to think its because she understood our failure to communicate, i never heard another word about it. I wish i knew where her crispy hat went, that thing would have been a trophy. Its funny now, and then, but in reality two people made a mistake that day that in a very similar situation could have killed a great person. Be careful everyone, dont be me, and learn what an open bolt configuration is.
Update.. That Battle Buddies dad passed while we were in AIT together, that was 17 years ago when he was 17. I was a lot older in basic, mid 30s going back and doing something I had wanted to do when I was 17. We have remained friends and he is still in the Army still kicking ass and is a person to admire and be proud of. He's done two deployments in two different countries completed college, and traveled the world on his own dime "adventuring". I'm sorry his dad missed seeing him grow up and become a warrior and a gentleman.
Bro this story had me rolling!!! Love it man!
@@chrisviviano3271Not one of my prouder moments in life.
@@joebonomono5078I'm a bit older, but I've been on the receiving end of an unknown number of M60 (7.62mm) blanks through a blank firing adapter. The BFA has a hole all the way through it that allows quite a bit of burning powder and flame to escape. I was singed, blind and deaf for a while. I had powder embedded in my face. This was in the final FTX for AIT, squad on squad maneuvers.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD Then you fully understand what I put my drill through and how admirable and generous it was that I never heard another word about it. She was an amazing person, she would do our rucks marching backwards belittling us. I can still hear her in my face, ."you need some oil in you old ass Tin Man" "get your fckn squeak on" just egging me for miles. "I've already dialed 91, when you think you're dying sound off and I punch in the other 1 and send it. Maybe they'll save you." But anyway..... I'm sorry you took that damage, we all need to be careful at all times.
Naw. I'm going to be honest. You were the special one in the story. 😂😂😂 You asked a question and got a complete answer. Then, asked another question that anyone would consider a reasonable following question. To complete the task at hand. She was just nice to you. 😂
Ft Ritchie MD, was sleeping after Mid Shift. Got woken up by several shots into the clearing barrel which was outside my window and down a floor.
Sergeant told the troop to clear his weapon. Troop did.... 5 rounds from an M1911 into the clearing barrel, before the Sergeant yelled ceasefire....
It was time to get up for dinner, anyway.....
I'm sorry. But that's 🤣🤣🤣👌
Dyin bro😂😂😂😂😂
He mag dumped in the barrel? Comon man!?
5 rounds is a Mag Dump, maybe to your genz generation kiddo.... Bunch of kids claiming to be women cuz they couldn't make it in life as man, the women in the gen z generation are more manly than the dudes..
"Hey private what were you tryna do with that thang?"
"Sir, Reliability test."
Soldier: Permission to hear Sarge!
Sarge: Access denied soldier! That earth beneath you, get down and move it! MOVE THAT EARTH !
😂😂😂 frr
😂😂
May the gods bless the all the Marines&Soldiers that are tasked with keeping our green earth spinning each moment of the day. Without mistakes being made throughout the day, we would probably have came to a stop long ago. I don’t even want to think how many it would take to jump start this rock.
Everyone walked away like "Im not getting punished for him"
Air force wears the same pattern as the Army, this was 100% Security Forces 😂😂
The only human written comment here.
It is because of the spice brown flag
When did you walk off the range with a battle pack on saw or a 240 bro?
@lcworks that's a regular duty load out for security forces, and they aren't doing any range training
@@curtisclark5756 were you Security Forces?
The men n women of the U.S. army, doing what they do most, standing in line.
Dude just fired into the clearing barrel and probably is thinking "this is not okie dokie."
Fallout?
Watch again, this time WATCH his hands, he ain't touching the trigger when it goes off
We were clearing pistols after shift (I was a MP), PFC B (name redacted) forgot to drop his magazine, chambered a round and fired into the clearing barrel, SSG F was so PO'd and yelling at B that SSG F did the same thing and fired a round into the barrel. He looked at his pistol and fire the remaining 4 into the barrel. I should note that this was 1988 and we were using M1911s with 5 in the magazine.
Why did SSG F fire the first round?Accident?
@@smokey04200420 Yes, he wasn't paying attention while yelling at PFC B.
@@ricksher1320
And then he fired the rest of the magazine?
@@AHDBification Yes and yes they both received article 15's B received a company grade, SSG field grade and lost a stripe.
In the AF, a new MP shot the floor trying to holster his M9. Missed his foot by an inch. The armory made a target sticker and put it over the bullet hole. 😂
That particular weapon has been a problem for many years. We were taught to put our faces in the dirt when we opened the tray. If you look he doesn’t hit the trigger he opens the tray
They told me the same when I was carrying that gun about putting the face away when I opened the tray .
Could have been a cooked off round if they were just firing.
I saw the tray open as well
So when you lift the tray it drops the firing pin? Because he does appear to have his finger on the trigger
@@corydittman4639 Upon a second viewing he does indeed have his right hand in the trigger well. Yeah the videos grainy but looks like a negligent discharge tbh.
😂😂😂 Ahhhh yes, Poppers are the best!!😂🎉🎉🎉
