*** [[FreezeFrameBonus If you look closely]] you can see the slide of Joe's pistol lock back after he shoots out the window, meaning he couldn't shoot again because that was his last bullet. The whole "jumping through the wrong pane" thing is simply a man under intense stress making a mistake, which makes the scene both funny and endearingly human in equal parts.
