Na, then you get an oh God wtf have I done moment. Something about Rudy's reaction just doesn't jive right. Rudy was being an idiot but he knows his own hardware, it's not mundane death and destruction he's turned a blind eye to. I just can't imagine anyone in his shoes immediately looking towards the gun in such utter surprise. He understands guns kill people, I'd wager most people who squeeze one off my accident are aware of the reflexive twitch when it happens. I'm usually aware when I twitch even if I can't help doing so.
I can't believe Rudolph just automatically assumes the gun is screwed up without reasoning.
That is an interesting theory about Harry starting to call hellfire though..

Maybe if he was infected he might... Consider Justine's act, what is to say that that startled look was also an act?

Jim signaled this about as loud as you can do it short of grabbing you by the ears and screaming it. The first time he had a character mention trigger discipline somebody was going to die from an accidental gunshot. It actually fits the character in this case. In his haste to ladder climb he bypassed the training. Ultimately the guy who sent in IA owns it. As it's written it works fairy well, you get angry because she takes out a giant and then dies at the hands of a coward, by accident. This is how Jim has used the character throughout the books.

I am inclined to agree, however if there is more to it than it appears to be, I think I've come up with something plausible. However since Rudolph got the gun by accident because Bradley was occupied trying to save his child and those other kids, it says it was just one of those things.. Then again, how a gun, not aimed could find the carotid artery in Murphy's neck, raises questions... But then again there are a lot of dead people out there in the real world who died from "unloaded" guns, guns not really aimed at anyone, mistaken for a deer, an last but not least, guns handled by paranoid panic stricken fingers..
