Best and brightest?
« on: July 07, 2010, 02:38:09 PM »
Top Navy officer killed in firing incident at Kochi training centre


Quote
“The officer first fired a few shots from an INSAS rifle and inspected the target. After that he asked for a revolver for target practice but the first weapon he was handed failed to fire. He was then given a second revolver but it too developed a glitch. The accident occurred when he was inspecting the weapon,” a Naval officer said.

Yeah....

Wow. Unbelievable. I am ashamed for him, and all those who failed to do a function check.

Yeah, I can see the new safety notices now

Warning, in case of failure to fire, DO NOT look  down barrel. DO NOT look down barrel and pull trigger.
