Some of the comments suggest he might have sat in the pilots seat and fantasised he was shooting down the Red Baron and the shit happened
Technician Accidentally Sets Off An F-16 Cannon, Blows Up Another F-16 - Jalopnik
This sounds like something straight out of a goofy military comedy, but I assure you this is real: a Belgian technician accidentally set of the cannon of a military plane during maintenance, which shot another plane. That plane blew up, damaging the initial plane in the process. Talk about a bad...

Maybe the Belgians do things differently, but having been the responsible adult for hundreds of people shooting things; if it didn't need to be loaded, it wasn't.

There’s some people in the comments who have worked on these things, I’d be interested in what you think about what they had to say

For centre of gravity, F16's are always loaded, so yeah on that. But there are heaps of things that would have to be done to fire, like hydraulic pressure on (external rig or engines running), weight on wheel switch disabled, master arm on, gunnery mode (AA or AG) selected, even the trigger flap lifted - there's probably more but those are everywhere. So it's one almighty fuck up to get past all that!
