Getting off-topic, but:
> There had been three misfires of the prop gun before the one that killed Hutchins. … “We’ve now had three accidental discharges. This is super unsafe.”
A "misfire" is when the gun should go off but doesn't, an "accidental discharge" is when the gun shouldn't go off but does.
There was a lot of sloppy reporting around the events, to where it's hard to tell what the facts actually were. The particular mistake I highlighted (the reporter saying "misfire" when their source says "accidental discharge") IMO makes whichever article you're quoting suspect as a whole.
