The weird part is; he uses his offhand to operate the, uh, thumb operated selector. All that wonderful engineering for naught.
In high volume testing we’re always thinking of possible cookoffs. One can be shot with one’s own rifle. Get it hot, set it down pointed downrange with a round in the chamber when you go to replace targets, and…oops! Depending on the rifle and caliber, it can happen a lot easier than it did in the video.
