I'm not sure I follow the Navy hospital report. At first, they are talking about the accidental discharge of a .45 cal. pistol; then they are talking about removing a .22 cal. slug. Why the switch?
The .45 was Marine issue while the .22 was an unauthorized weapon.... The "trial" for this infraction did not occur until April 1958 with a decision in Oct 1958 that it was "in the line of duty"... y'know, like the STD he got...
It appears they decided that the gun was a .22 and that it was discharged "in the line of duty and not a result of misconduct" Folsom Exhibit 1 p.42 & p.59
Which basically negates the infraction of Article 92, the possession of an unregistered weapon... and turned it into an innocent accident, which required over 2 weeks at the hospital and not a single mention in any adminstrative remarks or comments for that time period.
