That one I don't find particularly scary.

As long as you know it's loaded. And if you do it on purpose, it's perfectly safe, except for the person who doesn't think he's going to get shot with a half disassembled pistol. The Germans used to do it to unsuspecting enemies.

As an afterthought: Weimar Police firearms handling ought to have had really low standards, cause they thought necessary to add a sear safety that prevented firing a half disassembled Luger and a magazine safety that prevented firing the pistol after removing the magazine. All that in a pistol that had a loaded chamber indicator.
