I think your are right. Depending on the type of pistol, they don’t all cycle nicely with suppressors. I’ve seen some suppressor/pistol combos where people have to manually cycle the slide, after firing, to chamber the next round a lot of the time.
Some guns, especially ones that have a tilting barrel (most pistols) can be finicky about adding a big weight at the end of the barrel. most surpressors nowadays have methods to sorta help counteract the weight, but the gun can still jam or not cycle if the ammo isn’t powerful enough.
in this case, it looks like they didn’t test out their setup well enough, and had to manually rack the slide to eject the spent case and chamber a new round.
He’s using subsonic ammo and maybe a homemade suppressor. The gun can’t cycle with that. That’s why he’s racking it by hand and why he left both shell casings and unfired cartridges behind (because he over racked it).
Welrods don’t really exist outside of video games and museums. You’re not going to see them on the streets or black market. It was almost certainly a homemade suppressor that caused malfunctions.
B&T VP9 and their Station six nine. Not saying it was that, but just saying they exist on the market today. So a welrod-alike can be had. But it would absolutely leave a paper trail as its a unique gun.
They’re novelty guns that aren’t generally circulating around. I’ve seen, held and shot some unicorns throughout my life but weldrods and clones are just too esoteric to really be out there.
Spas 12, calico, mark 23, Glock 18, etc all fall short of the true myth that is a welrod, even with the modern production. I know someone who has a true SG44 and I’ve even disassembled a real HK G11 and checked out the XM8, still no welrod.
I’m not convinced he was catching the casings. He seems to be correcting malfunctions.

That’s what I saw as well. He’s not catching the casings.
I was wondering if the gun were designed to hold the casing until it’s manually retrieved.
That’s a revolver
A revolver with a silencer?

Agreed
A homemade can without a Nielsen (muzzle booster) device would certainly account for that. Since most consumer cans come with them by default.
I’m speculating it was this gun, single shot, magazine fed, bolt action, silenced

That would explain how calmed he seemed cycling it. He new it’s limitations, and expected it to happen.
Gun Jesus also disagrees

He wasn’t, the police found two casings and two unfired rounds at the scene.
