These incidents have included:
1) Firing out of battery - including one case where there was a significant injury requiring medical treatment.
2) Firing on reset of trigger
3) Firing with safety engaged
4) "Runaway" full auto fire with trigger released
At least two of these incidents have involved rifles owned by Appleseed instructors, and the others happened under instructor supervision and were confirmed by the instructors - so it is hard to blame the operators. Given that the M&P 15-22 uses a standard AR trigger group, one would think these malfunctions would be unlikely - however, Appleseed instructors have noted that the pins were loose in at least some of the cases. Perhaps the polymer receiver is not holding up under prolonged use?
