My Brigade Commander wrote a book which encompassed much of my 5 month deployment to Somalia in 1993.

He discusses some “accidental discharges” that happened during the deployment from US and coalition forces and how there is no such thing as an accidental discharge.

poor discipline,
poor leadership,
poor SOP’s
and usually a combination of the four.
