I was with Roberts the day of the accident, we were busy shoot with our G5 when after a few shots we had a miss fire, Roberts was the one shooting the gun he walked up to the gun and as soon as he touched the mechanism to reset to fire again the gun went off by itself, Roberts was right behind the gun and the recoil of the barrel him on the side of his hip he was unconscious immediately and never regained consciousness. We heard once or twice that he was ok after been cassevaced to 1 Mil but I only found out +- 4 years after militry service that he passed on. To this day i still think of him alot and what could have been, this accident is imprinted in my head for ever R v Heerden
