Nothing new, Luger accidental death

Anybody with any combat experience or just service time can tell you stories like this all day--GIs are as dangerous to themselves and each other as any enemy.
Even real professionals have accidents-I know of a SF 03 who dropped a Swedish K and was killed by the discharge. Same-same an E8 with a Thompson
This kind of stuff is not uncommon. "A GI could screw up an iron ball"
I saw somebody who knew better kick a dud M 79 round which wsn't a dud-took his foot off.
I gave him a bad time for doing it so close to where I was standing.
