a loaded .38-caliber pistol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Must have been a .380, a .38 is a revolver and could not fire more than once under those circumstances.

Well, they did refer to it as a pistol, so maybe they got lucky and got a bit of the story straight.

Yup. All the armchair firearms experts proclaiming authority don’t know the difference between a wheel gun and a semi. It seems these clowns think a revolver can go full auto.

The rounds in the cylinder could cook off also, . . . maybe . . ..

I don’t see how a semiautomatic could cook off multiple rounds, either. Without a solid grip on the pistol, the slide isn’t going to return properly and the next bullet will fail to load.
