AUISDHASDIHUASDUIHSDA
I've only watched the episode yesterday... but the first thing that came to my mind when Saito tried that stunt was: "Dude, you are NOT that Saito!" In a reference to Hajime Saito from Rurouni Kenshin. And then my train of thought (which can be really weird sometimes) went on thinking in a "what if" scenario if indeed was the other Saito in his place... the only conclusion that I reached is that Joseph would be f*****.
But overall was a pretty cool scene... and after he got stabbed I was wondering that if it happened by "mistake" or was just part of his plan (I preffer to think that it's the second option).
By the way... I think that even if Joseph tried to pull the trigger, nothing would have happened. That gun looks exactly like a Colt M1911 (if I'm wrong, please correct me) which has a total of 8 rounds (1 in the chamber and 7 in the magazine) in the standard version or 10 rounds (1 in the chamber and 9 in the mag) in the high capacity version... I didn't count all the shots (I'll do so later), but I think he used all of them and that's why he dropped the gun. It would be funny though, Joseph pulling the trigger and nothing happening... then he would be left with that look of "wtf?" on his face.
But it would be even funnier if he pulled a Dirty Harry on Saito at that time...

Ps. I told you my train of thought can be really weird.
