the Gun was loaded with five live rounds. But when the robber pointed the gun directly against a shop assistant at Illum in Copenhagen, and pressed by, there came only a ’nudge’.
the Thief had forgotten to take ladegreb on the gun, so there was not a sharp cartridge in the chamber. About the lack of ladegreb was intentional or an oversight is unknown. But it saved at least the clerk from being killed or injured.
