This is where everything goes sideways.

States the Property Master or Armorer is supposed to advise what type of round, including dummy or blank, is in use.
Far as I've discovered, it wasn't supposed to be even blanks at that point. Either dummy rounds, or empty cylinder.
It CLEARLY wasn't.

So my question in all this here- what about the rest of the dummy rounds? I'm on the assumption that someone at some point eyeballed, and saw "not blanks"... and wrongfully assumed dummy rounds. (We may not have even got that far)

Were live rounds mixed into the dummy round supply, and accidentally loaded into the gun? Or was the gun not even checked? Seems like that would be a key point to determine, when you START investigating this incident.
Either way indicates a serious breach of protocol on chain of custody of the guns.
