Flashforward

If someone's set up a gun thing to shoot your buddy using a pistol, you should just pull the slide back out of battery, and it can't fire.

If only Agent Benford knew this with his multitudinous years of FBI experience and training. And then I wouldn't be yelling at the TV...

Instead, he is trying to push forward on the trigger. Which is gonna be pushed by some sort of ridiculous garage door opener contraption. Which is probably stronger than his puny hoo-man fingers.
