While working under cover, CIA agent Susan Cooper saves the life of a fellow agent from an exploding backpack that had been switched by a bad guy. This action attracts unwanted attention resulting in the bad guy taking a photograph of Cooper that could expose her secret agent identity. As the bad guy runs away, Cooper runs after him. At one point during the chase, Cooper pulls out her semi-automatic pistol. After Cooper loses sight of him, he surprises her by jumping out from a hiding spot and knocks her to the ground. Standing over her, he points a knife at her. She then points her semi-automatic pistol at him. After noticing that the magazine from her gun has fallen out on the ground, he informs her of this as he continues to threaten her with his knife. Cooper then resorts to kicking him instead of firing her weapon. I believe this was a factual mistake. A properly trained law enforcement officer would make sure that their weapon was ready to fire when they are about to confront any threat. For a semi-automatic weapon, this means that the safety is deactivated and a round is chambered. To chamber a round, with a loaded magazine inserted into the weapon's handle, the slide is pulled back and then released. This loads the top round from the magazine into the weapon's barrel thereby allowing this single bullet to be fired even if the magazine is removed or falls out. Cooper should have used this knowledge to her advantage. Not performing these preparatory actions would give any threat a clear advantage in a sudden shooting encounter.
