    I don't understand how someone discharges an "unloaded" weapon, but it's done by professional soldiers more than people think....

    I dont think is it apples to apples there. I am cleaning a gun, I put a patch at the end of the cleaning rod and I dont notice the patch is gone... not making sense.

    There are people that shoot themselves cleaning an "empty" firearm, that they swear they checked. I don't see how anyone leaves a firearm in full battery! It happens, people make mistakes, that's the apples to apples...

    Every thing we are saying here is pure speculation...

    However, only pertaining to "My Theory": I still say it's easier to leave a patch in the tube than to leave a round in full battery!

    I don't know if he looked down the tube after each pass with a light....

    I don't know if there were two patches stuck together...

    I don't know if he used a jag or eyelet, during cleaning...

    The only other theories that makes sense so far, is the low powder/pressure one, but I think it was factory ammo, not hand loaded, and the defective barrel one (unlikely, and hard to prove that something else did not contribute)

    The main point to all of this is "talk" is that we want the reason to be found.
