Chris Bort—the acting chief of the ATF’s Firearms Ammunition Technology Division—struggled at disassembling a Glock style handgun during a made-for-tv scaremongering interview with Steven Dettelbach, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on CBS News.
Watch the hilarious video below:
Here’s a few simple steps that an experienced agent have to know:
1. Eject the magazine
2. Pull back the slide
3.Check that the chamber and magazine well are empty by looking down through the ejection port on the top (where the shell casings fly out)
4.Aim it in a safe direction and pull the trigger while you have your thumb in the magazine well
5. Pull back the slide around 1 cm / 4/10ths of an inch
6. Pull down the two latches above and slightly in front of the trigger
7. Pull the slide forward
8. Compress and remove the spring
9. Slide out the barrel
But then again maybe his experience is more in alcohol and tobacco instead.
