That’s a Mexican standoff, you shoot him with your 45, and now you can’t turn both keys, that threat doesn’t mean much.

So shoot him in the foot. He then still has a hand to turn the key.

We actually carried 38 Specials. S&W Model 15 Combat Masterpieces.

They were to be used to protect the Sealed Authenticators in case of an attempted break in.

As for turning keys, there were four other Launch Control Centers connected together in the Squadron and the 50 missiles only need to see two of those capsules turn keys to launch.
