An alternative thought, it might be an anti hunting billionaire. Several organizations such as PETA buy tags every year just so hunters can’t get them.
Taurus SC generic Termidor (fipronil) does wonders on them. Kills for a while. Also fights termites. Spray wood and they will die just from landing on it.

I’m betting it was a case of wrong cartridge loaded in mag or over loaded round. In a semi auto u have never actually seen or heard of an out of battery discharge unless it had been Bubba’d or something was out of spec. The BCG won’t allow hammer to hit FP if it’s not closed with bolt lugs...
It’s no bigger than a standard reflex red dot. Solar panel is above the lense. They also have some tube type red dots with solar panels (403c) and vortex also makes one the Sparc SolAR so you know if the electronics die they have you covered
407c...
Get holosun 407c it has a solar panel that lights it up even with no battery. I have been running a test on my fast fire 3 with the same battery for 2-3 years with no issue. I do carry a spare with me though.
I was 4 and had a few BB guns my dad thought me to shoot. At 5-6 he got me a marlin 22 semiauto and birds where in a lot more trouble.
I started my daughter on nerf rifle and then a 22lr with a tripod mount back this summer. where we live i cant just let her run free with a bb gun like I did...
