He decided that it may be better to subdue the enemy rather than kill them, so instead of his pistol he withdrew a short range gas-grenade. The nearly silent explosion would release a highly combustible substance that would knock out anyone within about a meter and a half of the detonation. The grenade was made to be a short range incendiary grenade, but without an ignition pin would be almost harmless to any within range...well unless you counted the loss of consciousness and a few brain cells.
