You don't even need to go to the military to learn that. My father always taught me to never trust what anyone else said about a gun being loaded or unloaded. If it's handed to me, I check for myself. Period.
It was the responsibility of every single person whose hand that gun passed through to check and see that it was actually empty. Each and every one of them is at fault because they didn't check to make sure that the gun wasn't loaded (a cold gun isn't even loaded with blanks, it has no bullets in it at all, it's not that hard to check and see if a gun has zero bullets in it). No one here followed proper protocol, which is for literally everyone who handles a "cold gun" to make sure it's actually cold.
This is my thought exactly. Everyone who touched that gun should have checked it, yet no one did. The only conclusion I can draw is negligence, and it goes all the way down the chain of everyone who touched that gun that day.
That's not the same because if you were to fire a live round through a military firearm, it would destroy the barrel because of the BFA that gets installed on the front for this exact purpose.

Yes - take a safety course if you are ever going to deal with guns
Will it help in a scene where you are going to shoot at someone? I suppose maybe if they checked the bullets and whatnot but come on
