Oh, I don't think that was his intention at all. You see, that wasn't a gun he was loading. It was a 40mm M-79 Grenade Launcher. (Arnold used one in Terminator 2.)
You can go to this site to learn more about the M-79: http://www.diddybop.demon.co.uk/blooper.htm

Holy Cow!
IF the rounds for that weapon in Firefly are equivalent to current real world then it's no wonder Jayne was shaking thinking about using it:
"The M-406 40mm HE grenades fired from the M79 traveled at a muzzle velocity of 75 meters per second, and contained enough explosive within a steel casing that upon impact with the target would produce over 300 fragments at 1,524 meters per second within a lethal radius of up to 5 meters." The site doesn't mention the wound radius. You could easily kill yourself firing that off in an enclosed area like a small spacecraft--even in the cargo hold.
My favorite non-verbal moment is River walking through dead leaves in the cargo hold and picking up a stick. Even the people around her are reduced to leaves for a moment....

I also love that after Mal plugs in the catalyzer in OoG, he pats it affectionately. Says a lot about that relationship.
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

D'oh! I forgot to include my favorite non-verbal moments. My three favorites are by Wash. In Serenity; the thumbs up at Zoe's "sir." In Trash as he notices Mal's tissue-stuffed nose. And in Trash again as he's trying not to look at Mal's nudity. They all make me titter.
