This past Wednesday night, an armed man walked into a Kansas City, Missouri, Jimmy John’s, pointed his gun at the cashier, and demanded money. What’s remarkable about the CCTV footage, though, is the cashier’s calm throughout the robbery:

There’s something else that’s remarkable, too:
Anyone else notice something wrong with the robber's weapon? https://t.co/eAfeXQkCj4

A bunch of people noticed, actually:
@ABC the gun is "jammed" failure to feed. FWIW

@ABC The slide on the gun jammed. That gun wouldn't even fire like that.

@BradThor Maybe a few issues with that slide…. ?
— Atomic (@atomicgray) April 28, 2017
@BradThor Slide locked back, for one
— Frank (@FHughesAuthor) April 28, 2017
@BradThor Oh my gosh he had no idea it was jammed. Way to ride the slide, buddy.

@BradThor @seanmdav It's jammed.

@BradThor Hard to shoot someone with a jammed pistol.
— Boomer654 (@Boomer654) April 28, 2017
@ABC @Chet_Cannon If you look closely, you can see the gun actually jammed due to a "stovepipe" error. That's when the round gets hung up and blocks the slide
— Steve Christiansen (@SteveChristi) April 28, 2017
@ABC @mhermosillo10 The employee is very lucky! If you notice the suspect racks the gun and the slide gets stuck to the rear so the gun will not fire. Wow.
— A.C. (@AC1142) April 28, 2017
@ABC The gun is jammed!!!! But way to stay calm.
— chris (@thebestyack) April 28, 2017
@ABC Gun jammed and he was really calm. Honestly only way to be in that situation
— B (@iBenae625) April 28, 2017
They guy was calm because the moron criminal can't rack a slide. https://t.co/EoPaDOl6M2

@ABC He seen gun was jammed and did not want robber to unjam it so he gave him money calmly.

Jammed weapon aside, that was definitely a good call on the cashier’s part.
@seanmdav Nevertheless, the clerk responded exactly as he should have.
— Brad Thor (@BradThor) April 28, 2017
@Boomer654 Yup. But takes only a second to clear it. Clerk did the right thing.
— Brad Thor (@BradThor) April 28, 2017
@BradThor Absolutely.

And for what it’s worth, the Kansas City PD nabbed the suspect:
