Might not be unintentional.the thing most often shot negligently is a tv set.
Most tv shows would benefit from being put out of their misery.

It's my understanding that the thing most often shot negligently is a tv set.
These days? Absolutely!Most tv shows would benefit from being put out of their misery.
It must almost certainly been a single-action revolver...if it was a S&W, in order for the hammer block to be retracted, the trigger would have to been pulled.I've had one AD with each type of handgun. The automatic was because a trigger was lighter than I expected, the revolver was my thumb slipping off the hammer during cocking.
In recent times, I've read about a lot of NDs that involve trying to unload an auto pistol by mere removal of the magazine, leaving a loaded round in the chamber.
There's no corresponding mistake possible with a revolver.
There certainly is, in both DA and SA revolvers.
Well, they can't be identical because revolvers don't have removable magazines and autopistols don't have cylinders.Failing to notice that a round didn't eject from a revolver is a bit different from not knowing that you have to both remove the mag and eject the chambered round from an auto pistol.
In either case the chambered round could be left in place through carelessness/inattentiveness (failure to adequately check the chamber(s) in spite of knowing the check should be performed) or ignorance (failing to realize that removing the magazine/dumping the rounds without using the ejector rod can leave a round chambered) or a combination of both.The first is a result of inattentiveness, while the second is from ignorance.
Very good point--a semi is probably more likely to do "funkiness" not go fully into battery, double stack etc.I would hazard a guess that semis currently have more NDs because of their popularity in absolute numbers and large agencies sometimes undertraining their folks when they moved to semis.
