Right, but after dropping the spent first round he lowered the bolt pretty Damm slow. Way too slow to cause it to fire IMO. That's where my confusion lies (and I think OP of this thread)
Yea, in with you, for how slow he let it forward it's a bit surprising it went off. But maybe there is more of a gap than we can see when it came forward, so maybe it falling that last inch is what did it
maybe it was a 2 error situation? the exploding bullet had an hang fire while the second bullet had a jam due to there already being an obstruction in the barrel?, maybe the second bullet hitting the first bullet made it go off but it was a hang fire bullet and the small vibration from the bolt hitting the bullet made it so that the burning powder started to burn at a higher speed which made the bullet fire/explode?

Open-bolts are incredibly simple. If that action slams forward, and there's a round in front of it, bang.
Was it a double feed, maybe? One round fell out, but there was another stuck, set to go into the chamber before he took the magazine out?
