I wonder if it is one of these... But I don't know how you can switch on and off the semi-auto features.

I guess I would consider it a non-repeating, semi-auto with unknown action behavior

This wasn’t a professional, a professional would have a weapon that worked right.

Worrying about noise is kind of pointless when you're shooting in front of a witness.

I'm still going to hold onto my position that it was a regular semi-auto that was under gassed due to firing subsonic munition, with the malfunctions being the guy didn't understand he needed to adjust the gas system.

I'm holding onto this position due to the pointlessness of using a silencer in front a witness (showing he's not the sharpest tool in the shed), and the fact that you can see the gun is trying to cycle but fails (every time he shoots you can visibly see gas coming out of the ejector port). Neither of which would be happening on a firearm designed to be non-semi automatic.

Nothing dumber than thinging.

They should have thinked.

How did he get the slide to stay in place?

The guy behind PEW (Professionally Engineered Weaponeering) Science, who specializes in suppressors, has some interesting thoughts on the situation.



He's pretty firm on his position it seems.

Edit: how difficult would it have to be for an editor to read up on single-action pistols? Too easy, but there hasn't been talk of banning them lately. An easy target. Anyway, here's the PEW Science Xwitter account:

Upvoated. Dude was firing subsonic (less powerful) rounds is why. By slowing the speed of the bullet, it makes less noise if it doesn't break the sound barrier coming out of the barrel. I have a friend with a supressed .22 and the noise is negligble, no hearing protection needed.
