Did the shooter and RO find the round fired just before the alleged cook off? Probably just a typical blown case.
As for an OOB firing, isn't it impossible for the firing pin to protrude far enough to reach the primer until the bolt is locked?
Thanks for the con-ed, guys. I’ve heard of OOB’s in this weapon type but never saw one in person. Makes sense that OOB would be highly unlikely in this platform.

My comment was a bait cast.. thanks for making my point without me having to be a dick..
serious amount of lead down range in short order to get to cook off territory. I wouldn't think that a cook off from an M-16 type weapon would be all that bad because
1. It's a closed bolt weapon and
2. It's not belt fed. (far less chance of run away if you have a malfunction you can't clear) Just take the mag out keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction. For us, we wait 3-5 seconds but only have 10 to clear it.
Not a cook off in the chamber...but...in the mag. Or set off by a sharp pointy thing in the mag. It's pretty unanimous that it was a blown case.
So I was able to track down the fellow who had this incident. He said that the round in the chamber didn't cook off; one of the rounds in the mag went off. He said that shell casing has a gash about 1/8 inch long perpendicular to the extraction groove. He said it was a reloaded round.
It looks like they've reloaded that shell one too many times.
