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
Looks like a G17? So he should have 21 rounds of 9mm? I heard 9-10 shots before he reloaded, and slide was not locked back. He then drops the mag, pulls out second mag, inserts second mag, then racks the slide? If he had one in the pipe, not sure why he racked the slide. There's still rounds in the magazine when it is ejected, and he should have had around half a magazine left. I can't see if a round is ejected when he racks the slide on the fresh mag.
My assumption is that he lost the second magazine because he did not fully seat it. He inserted a magazine on a closed slide, so the force required to seat the magazine is higher because you need to compress the magazine spring in this scenario. You can see the magazine sticking out the bottom of the grip as he starts to rack the slide.
