There is no such thing as an "accidental discharge". A much more appropriate (though much less politically correct) is a NEGLIGENT discharge. The US Army stopped using the "accidental discharge" term a long time ago. Negligence in one form or another always precedes this kind or occurrence

The US Army stopped using the "accidental discharge" term a long time ago. Negligence in one form or another always precedes this kind or occurrence Although most accidental discharges, and nearly all accidental discharges resulting in injury, involve negligence, there are some exceptions. Things like slam fires can sometimes occur even with properly-maintained weapons. On the other hand, if a slam-fire injures someone, odds are good that it's because someone was careless.
