There is no discharge of a round with a misfire, at least US terminology, misfiring is synonymous with failure to fire, it happens when the hammer / firing pin is released but the primer is not ignited. There is a stigma around unintentional discharges for a good reason, because it is almost always a _negligent_ discharge and not an _accidental_ discharge, if someone NDs I do not want them around me and a firearm.

This is minute gun nerd semantics people outside that world don't recognize or care about this difference.

Nah. There are lots of knowledgeable and precise people who speak of things with the amount of specificity required to communicate the important details.

Sometimes the specific technical terms for things is important. Especially in the case of a safety hazard.

Accurate word use is correct. Inaccurate word use is false. People care about true and false statements. Please only refer to your own beliefs, as your statment is patently false.

[jacobgorm]

You're right I meant accidental discharges. Not a native English speaker, nor a gun nerd.

No worries, I'm both, please don't hold it against me.
