Can a pistol go off when just shaken?

Well this Taurus pistol can and does so repeatedly on video.

Check out the Taurus 24/7 pistol that fires when just being shaken.

In the market for a used Taurus pistol? Better not buy this one.

In a video shared by YouTuber AL.com we witness a pistol that is unsafe ever to be loaded. It is a Taurus model 24/7 pistol. When loaded and shaken it will fire. It does this many times on the video. What is causing this? Has it been tinkered with so it is now a death trap or did it come from the factory that way?

With so many questions and no real answers it is always better be safe than sorry. Always use caution when handling any weapon, especially one that might have been worked on by unknown amateur garage gunsmiths.
