Well, I don't want to bring in too much realism, or another guns debate,
but that would only work with a revolver. No round chambered in a
semi-automatic pistol = it won't fire, no matter how often you pull the
trigger. (Unless somebody's built a pistol firing from an open bolt that
I don't know about, and even then it'd fire first time round.)
