A thing I just noticed
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I've been rewatching ASiB and I just realised that when Sherlock is about to open the safe, he looks at Irene and she looks pointedly at the ground, right before the 'Vatican Cameos' bit. I'd never noticed this before and always wondered how he knew about the gun. She told him!

I always interpreted that as her looking down at herself, her own body, and thus helping him figure out what the safe code was.

She looks down after he's already used the code and is about to open the safe. So I always assumed it was a warning.

Re: A thing I just noticed
Happily, you're both right. She looks down at her body to tell him the code. Then, before he opens the safe, realizing it might be doodbytrapped, he looks at her again. This time, she looks down and away, to the right, as if to show avoidance. He yells, "Vatican cameos", and the three of them begin to move out of the way.

Re: A thing I just noticed
I did figure it was a warning too; and she knew Sherlock was clever enough to get it.
