I also know that from movies that there can be a bullet in the the chamber. Can you or anyone tell me how to release popular models which are
callled berettas or such.
The way to remove a round from the chamber is almost always the way you put one in there, work the action.
Pretty much every semi-automatic handgun chambers a round by racking the slide. Once the magazine is removed, racking the slide again will eject the
(still live) round. Some handguns will have a feature that doesn't allow the gun to be fired, even with a round in the chamber, unless the magazine
is in the gun. Either way, as someone else said, its still best to treat every firearm as a loaded firearm.
Most newer revolvers have a cylinder lock on the left side of the frame, right by the grip. Moving this allows the cylinder to flip out (again,
generally to the left) at which time you press the rod in front of the cylinder, which pushes out the shells. Obviously there are exceptions, some
revolvers have a fixed cylinder, where each shell must be removed one at a time, through a loading door on the right side of the back of the cylinder.
Mostly only older SA revolvers, though.
Obviously I think you should know how to unload a firearm, but never try to disarm someone with a gun. Your not Chuck Norris.
