I believe that a 1991A1 is a series 80 action, with a firing pin safety that only releases the FP when the trigger is pressed fully rearwards.

I doubt even if the hammer notch failed when it struck the MRI machine that a round would discharge-again, the trigger would have to be pressed and the grip safety would have to have been released as well.....

I am betting on some spontaneous ignition of the primer via static or other EM energy source....

Any CE/ME/EEs out there with some insight on this circumstance?

Does lead styphnate (priming compound) combine under strong EM fields and detonate?

Hmm. I guess I fall into the “shoulda read more” crowd.

Okay, I’ll buy it -the magnetism retracted the firing pin plunger and pulled the FP hard enough to fire the round....
