That's risky and gentlemanly giving an enemy soldier a loaded pistol to end himself. You wouldn't do that in todays wars, you'd be shot.

"...obliged him with his sidearm." When I first read it I saw room for both takes on its exact meaning. Not very clear whichever, but definitely safer to be an angel of mercy than hand over a loaded pistol!
