Some kind of murder mystery-thriller thing. I didn't get far in it. It was a bestseller for a while though.
[ He shrugs, having missed that that was a rhetorical question. ]
Glocks don't have hammers. [ he says, like it's common knowledge before his brain catches up with him and he remembers that not everyone has spent absurd amounts of time taking guns apart and putting them back together. ] Uh. The long and short of it is that all Glocks are striker-fired, as opposed to hammer-fired. The hammer's the bit you pull back to cock a gun if it has one - the rough equivalent for a striker-firing gun would be to rack it instead, though it's not quite the same thing. You don't have to do it between every shot, for one thing, just after a new magazine is loaded or if you've got a malfunction, basically.
[ If any of this is technically wrong - no it isn't, please just assume that's how it works in Resident Evil. I'm doing my best. Anyway, Leon looks like he could go on, but is forcing himself to stop there with some amount of effort. For some reason people get bored when he talks about guns for too long. ]
