    sounds pretty serious for the young fella. A centre fire going bang in your face cant be good ?! Feel the kid and the family.

    The other bit of info to hand is the rifle and bits and pieces are at the Police Armory so its not just at Constable Plods level.
    It's also why I cant tell any more (not that I know anymore) as to the actual nature of the failure - sufficed to say it was not inappropriate handling of the firearm
