Some people just don't have the experience. That is another alternative. Maybe he just went through basic training last year and doesn't know?

Naw these were paratroopers doing a demonstration. Not some new trooper fresh from basic. Even if he were it's unlikely he could have made that mistake. I think Mikhayl's right, somebody blew a fuse...

I'll also agree with a blown fuse,

Blanks have a different weight about them, they look different, and you need the blank firing attachment in order for any gas-chambered weapon to reload properly.

I also would've thunk that anyone in their right mind, (even if they'd miraculously missed seeing they were live rounds, feeling they were live rounds, and leaving off the BFA) would have stopped firing immediately upon seeing people crumpling into heaps on the ground....

its the asylum for this lad!
