I must confess to doing something very similar with my M-16A1 in a NDP in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam, but I WAS under fire from an RPD LMG at the time, and there were no worries about what was in the background.....(Only for one mag dump, though)

If you watch the video, in the very beginning it shows these “kids” running off with the lady’s dogs (she breeds rare dogs). If her response was a bit hysterical, that might explain it.
