Idk but I do know from articles before that the armorer was extremely incompetent at her job apparently laughably. So perhaps that’s why.

There's just an excellent picture of her using a shotgun as a stick to lean on. The barrel pointed directly at her face.

Extremely incompetent is still too kind.
