    Not a bad take but doubtful. He’s in NYC people are everywhere as it is probably the most surveiled state in the US. Maybe DC. While I agree with the quietness its not ideal to have to do that. He got hit in the back and the calf. Wildly different parts of the body. A fully functioning tool when you need it is better than a quieter slow tool that is inaccurate and you have to fumble with each use.

    Use the right recoil springs and test before hand and change ammo and springs if need be. If your in a pinch changing ammo type from quieter subsonic to +P could help cycle but won’t be as quiet as there’s more powder and recoil. Use the right tool for the job and learn. Don’t half ass your life sentence. If not use a revolver and be done.

      If you rewatch the video it looks like he expects to need to manually rack the slide. He’s not phased at all.

      I’m not saying going for a locked slide is the best approach. I’m just saying that it looks like he expected it. I don’t think anyone who is clever enough to evade being arrested at the time of the incident is dumb enough to not practice before hand. Particularly in the most surveilled state in the U.S.

      He might have decided quietness is more important than follow-up speed when planning a close encounter assassination.

      This reads like a tarkov player offering their professional hitman advice. The guy got the job done lol
