I'm not gonna smoke anyone.
An individual who works for my agency went to "A firearms Instructor School." (and I ain't saying where in an open forum). When an instructor brought in an MG 34.
According to my guy: A student was dicking with the weapon, pulled the bolt to the rear, let it go, when the chamber shut, it fired. The round missed my guys head by a few inches he now suffers some permanint hearing loss in one ear.
A lawsuit is in the works and the attorneys are saying that the student has as much culpability as the instructor running the course (and who the weapon belonged to).
My guy asked me if I would ask around to see if anyone who is familiar with the MG 34 knows if the above scenario is possible or if the guy had to pull the trigger.
From Mugwumps response it sounds like something else is up.
Thanks for the responses Gentlemen, keep'em coming.
