Reminds me of the time my aunt (Vietnam vet) was looking at a new gun at home, and tried "dry firing" it. It was loaded. She thankfully only put a hole in the floor.
Honestly I dont know too much about it. She went through training like other soldiers but never deployed to a combat position. I think she spent most of her time in places like Saigon doing support work.
Assuming you're from the US, Australia, or New Zealand, that's because women weren't even allowed in combat roles until the 21st century (2016 for the US, 2013 for Aus, and 2007 for NZ). But despite that they were still required to go through firearms training, so that they could effectively defend themselves in the event that their deployment did get attacked by enemy forces.

Rifle? Never took Tiff as a hunting girl or target girl type... hope she has found a supportive range to practice at!
Also people remember firearm safety protocols and to keep your firearms locked and unloaded at ALL TIMES
