I was as at a small security briefing years ago given by the sergeant of the guard for the facility I was then stationed at. It covered security response (get the heck out of the way, nothing young marines love more than putting a boot into a navy back as they run you over), use of deadly force, function of the gate and internal guards, etc.

Somehow, the conversation got around to what to do if there were an incident at the interior entry lock and you were threatened with a sidearm (the guard had gone nuts, or something). This was just before the services switched over to the Beretta.

I'll never forget him explaining and demonstrating, 'grab the weapon, push the slide out-of-battery.' The reaction that went around our conference table was pretty priceless navy dungeon dwellers versus a lost-the-plot marine in a small confined space fighting over his 45...no thank you.
