There is a problem with this, and that is the amount of time required to truly develop expertise in a weapons system may be significant. I estimate I have fired > 5,000 rounds of 5.56 and > 100,000 rounds of 7.62, and, I have worked as an armorer, and while my weapon handling may have been safe, it would be insufficient to create a safe environment, because that is inherently an organizational function You personally need the training with each of the firearms you are handling, as well as the oversight of safety personnel, and a safety culture with strong processes. You also need the safe equipment since a mechanical failure can easily cause one of these accidents too. People, processes, technology, and leadership. On a low-budget film pressed for $, & time, neglecting safety, I think it is much easier to understand how this tragedy occurred. |
