With a (semi) automatic the slide uses pressure of the bullet exiting to eject and load the next bullet.
Even with a silencer, a standard 9mm cracks the sound barrier, unless you use subsonic bullets that move slower, which exacerbates the problems cycling.
Now there is the Welrod pistol which requires you to rotate the back of the gun manually, this makes the gun honestly “movie quiet” where it’s literally not noticable. Someone makes a new model now with the same style of integrated suppressor, it even comes with a more regular style suppressor for. The “movie quiet” one has to be sent to the company and rebuilt like every 300 rounds.
Something like what is used in the video would still be a noticable noise, not just immediately recognized as a gunshot. It’s just a regular semiautomatic modern handgun with a suppressor on it.
But he knew where the camera was too. He’s angled just right so it never brushes his identity. I get the feeling he knew the limitations of what he was doing, as he had enough time to make sure he got him.
What style gun is that, where he can catch the shell casing? I’m only familiar with automatics that eject the spent shell immediately after firing.
I’m speculating (wildly) that it was one of these. Bolt action silenced pistol

Do you have a source on that?
Sun Article seems to support that.
Thanks
The gun isn’t jamming, it’s just not cycling on its own, likely because of the sound modifications or because it is a bolt action.
A suppressor takes some of the “umph” out of it.

That suppressor was to give him time.
I mean I didn’t see anything
The main mistake I see is that he didn’t put the gun inside of a plastic bag to catch the shell casings and minimize gsr.
