Wow, yeah they'll always fire when you intend them too, unintended is the problem.

Serious question. Does the military still require carrying with a loaded mag and an empty chamber?

A bit too generic of a question.  In general the answer is ‘no’.

Cool video.  Interesting that no optics are being used.  I would have expected the Romeo M17 to make an appearance, at least in limited numbers.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the Corps had adopted it as well as the Army?

I asked someone who works as an MP at the base. While at the gates, they are to carry everything condition 1 that includes pistols and rifles. During patrols, they are to carry pistols in condition 1 and rifles in condition 3. The base has a couple of incidents involving people running the gate and yes, they do open fire on the car.
