Might be a slamfire, but the guy two people to the left of the hatless soldier puts his hand on the pistol grip immediately after chambering the round. So the soldier who fired may have screwed something up.
Looks like they are shooting blanks and have to cycle the action for each volley in the “salute”. Even so, there are no words to describe this charlie foxtrot.
Seriously who thought it was a good idea to have them chamber rounds like that, their barrels are pointed in a dangerously close to unsafe direction.
Also it just looks unprofessional.
