Not for double feeding and chamber explosion
Well a double feed will cause a stop-fire (or just stoppage depending again on who is instructing). Anyway the whole point of observing the chamber is that the sub-jobs of actually making sure the chamber is empty aren't part of the acronymn (at least as I was taught).

"I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. "
