    Regardless how many types of “safety” for a gun exist, this one obviously didn’t have the one it shuld have had.

      I have absolutely no doubt he pulled the trigger when he fell. Only certain types of mechanisms can stop the gun from firing when you pull the trigger, and there’s reasons to not want that mechanism on your gun.
