    Wow.

    That’s someone who planned this out. No rushing, very calmly aiming and shooting. Walking up slowly, even crossed the street at a walking pace at first.

      Apparently his gun jammed between each shot and he was very chill/good at unjamming it. So, police think Mr Guillotine is ex-army or ex-cop.

        Might not be jamming, if you use subsonic ammo and a big fat suppressor, it’s possible that there simply isn’t enough gas pressure left to cycle the action of the gun, effectively turning the gun into a bolt-action.

        The guy certainly doesn’t look surprised by a jam.

        He was probably shooting subsonics, knowing they wouldn’t cycle the action. Silencers make a reliable gun unreliable by changing the gas system pressures. One way to make it reliable is to make sure every shot has to be manually cycled by shooting underpowered rounds.

        Oh, is that what he was doing? I thought it was just not a semi-automatic gun or something, and he had to cock it each time (I am not a firearms expert lol). It seems that it might have even been hot and burnt his hand before the third (fourth? not gonna watch again) shot.

        Maybe he was doing the SPORT technique for unjamming commonly taught in the army at least
