Watch Jake's executioner throughout Jake's narration. Jake shouldn't worry about being killed because the guy's pistol is never loaded! He has the type of semi-automatic that has the ejection slot on the side and clearly it is visibly empty through the whole ordeal, even after he racks it at the end. Somebody else can get back with the manufacturer and model number, they escape me right now. Of course the filmmakers aren't going to have him brandishing a loaded weapon, but they could have chosen a brand without the opening in the slide.
