2016年,一名英国士兵在训练中死亡,原因是不安全的处理和安全规程失败,导致意外释放步枪。 A British soldier died in 2016 during training due to an accidental rifle discharge caused by unsafe handling and failed safety protocols.

英国陆军一名来自汉普郡的24岁士兵乔·斯潘塞下士(Joe Spencer)于2016年11月1日在苏格兰Tain空军武器场的一次狙击训练中死亡,当时他的L115A3步枪出人意料地发射了一发子弹。 Lance Corporal Joe Spencer, a 24-year-old British Army soldier from Hampshire, died on November 1, 2016, during a sniper training exercise at Tain Air Weapons Range in Scotland when a round fired unexpectedly from his L115A3 rifle. 他站在一个异化弹容器内，步枪枪托踩在脚上，下巴抵在枪管上，枪口走火，导致致命头部伤害。 He was standing in an iso container with the rifle’s butt on his foot and chin on the barrel when the discharge occurred, causing a fatal head injury. 调查因平行调查而推迟,调查发现该事件是可以避免的,理由是事先实弹演习后未能适当卸下步枪,而且卸货演习的口头指令不足。 The inquest, delayed due to parallel investigations, found the incident was avoidable, citing failure to properly unload the rifle after a prior live fire exercise and inadequate verbal commands for the unload drill. Spencer于2011年加入军队,在阿富汗服役,在手榴弹袭击中幸免于难,并在死前被晋升为下士。 Spencer, who joined the Army in 2011, had served in Afghanistan, survived a grenade attack, and was promoted to lance corporal before his death. 验尸官强调 安全失误 导致了悲剧。 The coroner emphasized safety lapses contributed to the tragedy.
