...guns dont fire accidentally

Oh yes they do, and its a contingency in any theater of war. New guns are required to be safer but old guns that are less safe still exist and are in use. I was raised shooting guns well older than I was...or am.

And they can misfire which often means clearing a cartridge that might still go off. Fun times.

They can definitely misfire, but humans are more likely to misfire

When the adrenaline is pumping, it's real easy to squeeze slightly harder... That's why your finger shouldn't be on the trigger until you're ready to shoot

You want to tell me your gun shot two rounds instead of one? I can believe that. You want to tell me a cold gun, with a round in the chamber for more than 5 seconds, suddenly decided to override the required mechanical safety because you waved it around?
