You never point a weapon if you don't intend to use it, this soldier is guilty if not of murder, of out right stupidity. You don't offer muzzle first, a weapon for inspection anyway and then stupidly pull the trigger. All weapons are supposed to be unloaded upon re entering the FOBs anyway and not reloaded and cleared until just prior to leaving. Some do forget, many live rounds went off inside the clearing barrels. Either way a tragic loss.
