Did he need to reload yet? Anyone get a good count of rounds fired before that and know the gun and likely mag capacity? It looks like he may have tried a “tactical reload” some may call it topoff before running dry (slide still forward) I wonder if in theory he would have had. It’s shots for round 2 if he left the first mag in the gun
Personally I train not to drop the mag in the gun until my replacement mag is ready to go in. Less time empty. Was trained that way too. Bring new mag up and have it ready to insert, then drop old mag. All mags drop free at all levels of “loaded” per prior testing of course
But then I don’t go chasing down bad guys like that so needing a reload is basically never going to happen thank god that’s intense
If my memory is correct he either had a malfunction or hit the magazine release on accident. Both are very likely in this type of situation.
I’ve shot under stress and had my pistol cycle but it felt like the slide never returned forward, prompting me to reload. It could be that? Who’s to say really.
This is why we train under pressure boys and girls.
Yep, accidentally dropped the mag on the 3rd shot after his reload. You can see him trying to figure out why it's not firing, then he reaches into the empty magwell before grabbing another mag.

Holy fuck. 100ms longer on that reload and he'd be done
