Corrected entry: A SWAT officer gets the go-ahead to use his Browning HP to shoot an unconscious Lecter (actually Pembry) in the leg to immobilize him. he fires the pistol extremely close in proximity to his face, something a real officer would not do, as the motion of the slide would harm or burn his face and he could very nearly go deaf.

Corrected entry: How could Hannibal possibly overpower both Pembry and Boyle? It was two armed men against one prisoner.
Correction: One psychotic cannibal. It's not much of a stretch to imagine he'd be able to overpower them. Remember, too, that up to this point Hannibal had been polite and cooperative, so they were caught off guard by his extreme behavior.
He starts his escape by handcuffing one of the guards to the bars, which puts things in Lecter's favour.

Correction: Can't really tell by the angle how close he is to his face. Slides only blow back about an inch or so, and wouldn't burn you either way. SWAT teams and police wear deep embedded ear plugs when in a probable situation that they'll most likely have to shoot their weapon.
