I see you’re coming around to our way of thinking… would really be surprised if someone had gone in on a hit using a single rack hand gun as was mentioned earlier. Wrong tool for the job, I reckon. It’s super hard to extrapolate too much info from the video but, yeah, sub sonic and silencer is the combo that can create this result. I’ll wait for the ballistics report before stating this with more confidence…
It is pretty clearly an assassination, and the perp planned to get away. So it’d make sense he’d do some googling like “silent assasin pistol” and might have looked at that exact video.
You’d hear that upclose, but it wouldn’t be loud enough to panic people some distance away. You can even see the witness not being as afraid as they’d be hearing a truly unsuppressed larger caliber pistol so up close.
In the video he shoots a mag, and the first shot is almost silent, but but the last shots start sounding like gunfire.
Good call. I watched the hit without audio but, yes, the reaction of the witness does suggest that their eyes, rather than their ears, told them what was happening. I’m off to look at the link you supplied right now… thanks.
Basic 9mm subs have about the same energy as standard loads. The most likely scenarios as I see:
Really dirty/dry gun.
They used a fixed mount instead of a booster. With tilting barrel pistols (most), you have to let the barrel float back a bit to unlock from the slide. You use a special mount called a booster to let this happen.
They used heavier recoil springs to prevent the gun from cycling - this would help keep the suppressed gun quiet. Alternatively, they may have used something with a locking bolt, but the hand motions look like your typical slide action.
That and by some reports, the text on the casings were “carved” in. Any deformations would have added resistance to ejection. It didn’t seem to take him too off guard though.
Huh, he had to manually cock between shots. I’m assuming with subsonics and that silencer there just wasn’t enough pressure left.

Idk. Do you happen to be into WWII history? Because to me, once I saw that video, I instantly thought of the Welrod Mk II, British SOE’s silent assasin pistol.

It’s either a big whoops or intentional.
