That's not the only weapon that ever used electric primers. They're fairly common in military weaponry, like the M-230 chain gun and GAU-8 cannon.

Left inside pocket for back up gun or cuffs?.
Yes. Black powder.
Very low tech. Charcoal, salt peter and sulfur.
Not clean, not pretty, but functional.
I suspect the electrical firing would have required electrical igniter surrounded by something quick burning. Flammable liquid or match heads. When my kids were small, we shot model rockets. When we did not have factory igniters, I would make one by wrapping very small copper wire around a match head. Stuffed that in the rocket motor and put the juice to it. Worked as well as factory igniters.
looks to me like his security didn’t act fast or well after first shot. Instead of quickly moving to get him covered they turn and look at where the sound came from. He even stays up there and turns to look. Also it almost seems like some behind him duck/flinch just ahead of the shots?
I haven’t watched other video of this, just this one without any sound.
Knowing how anti-gun Japan is, I would be willing to bet that they don’t allow a backup gun, and further you draw your weapon from the armorer at the start of your shift, and turn it (and all ammo) back in at the end of your shift, just like military police do here in the States.
Which leaves handcuffs as the only option.
Maybe I don’t know about their laws but sounds right.
