There are maybe one or two issues that could have happened that would be outside the realm of “Bad Gun Handling” – so having said that, let’s run through the more likely scenarios:
- A poorly maintained weapon.
- A damaged weapon.
- An antique that was not designed for modern gunpowder.
- A severely overloaded shell/round which was way over pressure.
- A plugged barrel.
So I can easily think of five reasons this would have been avoidable. Gun’s aren’t toys. Don’t play with them…
