No concern for the witness standing RIGHT there... nor the people in that SUV parked at the curb...
4 more steps and he could have cleared line of sight on both of those...
It’s the gun handling that makes me question “pro”... Pro’s practice. Tap/rack drills are practiced... even for those of us who do NOT go around shooting people.
That just looked... sloppy. Like he’d had some range time... but was still not fully familiar with popping fast rounds and manually cycling it due to low pressure.
It is an interesting mystery—his demeanor said pro but his gun issues said otherwise.
Check out #83. That was not a stoppage or a “tap rack bang”. That was a slide lock device which when used in conjunction with a suppressor and subsonic, is the quietest of all.
But it means you hand cycle every round. The Welrod Pistol of WWII is a low tech version of the concept.
Probably less than 1% of suppressors on pistols have that kind of set up.
