Finally. Proper weapon handling.

@Background Pony #FCE4  
The safe way is to field strip the gun and look from the other side.  
On something like 1911 this procedure sucks ass, though.

@pahom777  
Yes you are, barrel obstructions can be lethal and the last bullet fired might have had a squib load.  
Besides she made sure the magazine was removed and she checked the chamber before she looked into the barrel. :)

Silly Pip, you are not supposed to look down the barrel!

@Autumn_Shy  

 
Fair point!

At least she know’s her gun safety.

Now do a John Wick revolver modification scene, kill shot included!

Friends,  
This mare’s been through a megaspell, I don’t think she’s too afraid of a .45 xD
 
Still,  
It’s common practice to NEVER aim an intact firearm, loaded or not, at anything you don’t intend to destroy. ^^

@soundtea
 
That’s a good practice, but failure-to-eject is a thing. Inspecting the chamber is good, but people have been careless and overlooked a round before. So you should still never look down the barrel.
 
That said, this is a fantastic animation and a good homage to New Vegas.

@Background Pony #E1E5  
Take close note of what actually is happening. Magazine removed, slide cocked back to eject any round in the chamber, looking inside the chamber first to ensure there is no round inside, THEN the barrel is inspected.

@soundtea  
Our poor baby! don’t do it!… wait what if she has like magic supressing anything coming out the barrel? I mean might be something… magic safety!… still don’t do it!!!!

Pip, no, never look down the barrel! Even with the slide locked back, that’s no guarantee of safety!

Littlepip doesn’t even need a pistol to be a light in the darkness of our lives. ^^  
This has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen on here! <3

@Background Pony #D6EF  
She clearly relies on empty magazines to cause the slide to lock.

What do you need all those pistols for, Littlepip? You don’t have an army of tribals tucked away in a cave, do you?

@zxtlpn  
That is exactly what she’s doing.

Remove the magazine first, Pip.

cant expect Celestia to do all the work

I see she learned well from Joshua Graham the art of the infinite reloading pistol stacks.
