I do hope Two Gun Tex from Nagpur recovers .
Had it been reported he was from the RAF I would have expected him to have shot himself in a foot.

During GW1, an RSAF aircrew member, while checking his pistol, put a bullet through the ops room ceiling. Closely followed by another, this time in cockpit, who decided to remove the magazine from his pistol and dropped the rounds onto the cockpit floor.....

On another of my tangents...here is a link to comedian Jim Jeffries talking about gun control in the USA. No political points from me, but it is funny and well observed (those offended by Australians using bad language, just don't visit or pretend that it is an Aussie slip cordon).

Being a gun owner....I do get a good laugh out of these un-intentional self inflicted wounds.....especially when done on Video!

After about 40 years of competition pistol shooting, burning maybe 10k+ rounds a year at peak, I guess I was a reasonably competent handler of a pistol.
I can sympathise with a ‘Vice Air Chief Marshal’, whatever that is, who probably just carries one for effect. And as noted upthread ... why was HE cleaning it? Bearer’s day off? Or was this annual GDT?

WTF ever happened to "Always assume the weapon is made ready" and "Carry out NSPs" FFS?
Feckin idiot DESERVES to be hurting. He's obviously too bloody stupid to carry a firearm.

I find the sniggering offensive, The man is said to be in critical condition but stable.
