Randall Mangold was tried for felony murder, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and pointing a gun at another. He was acquitted of felony murder, but convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Here, he appeals, raising four enumerations of error. For the following reasons, we affirm.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, it showed that on February 22, 1999, Mangold and the victim, Stephen Elwood, were both in the Navy and were stationed at Kings Bay, Georgia. On the evening of the 22nd, the men were planning to go out; before going to the bar, Elwood asked to see Mangold’s .45 revolver. Elwood looked at it, and Mangold indicated that the gun was not loaded.
