[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At first I thought this guy must be acting on his own, especially given that he left his phone and cup. But now I think he's an assassin. Everything he left, he left on purpose. He looked directly at the camera in the cab on purpose. The only mistake he made was to flirt with that woman at the hostel. And he is clearly much smarter than the cops.[/quote]

That could be plausible, [i]except for the problems with the gun.[/i] Because he was clearly expecting the gun to function again after firing the first shot. Except it didn’t. He tried to fire, realized it hadn’t cycled the action, and then had to cycle it manually to get it to fire again. Then he had to repeat that process several more times. That means he hasn’t previously tested this gun and suppressor combination before. That’s something that a professional would [i]never[/i] do - go into a job with untested gear.

Other than that, your theory is plausible. [/quote]

maybe or he saw it coming.

Looks like  a polymer 80 Glock 19 frame with a homemade suppressor that lacked a neilsen device or a lightweight guide rod spring causing the gun to short stroke.  That would explain the slide popping out live rounds.[/quote]

100% agree. Homemade ‘can with no booster. Amateur. [/quote]

I know nothing about firearms, but a friend said it’s possible he used subsonic bullets to be quieter, which would mean he would have to cycle it manually. [/quote]

I have several suppressors designed to function on various semiauto pistols (they all have pistons/recoil boosters) and they will all fire subsonic ammo without any problems at all. The most common pistol I shoot suppressed is a Glock 17 with 147 grain subsonic ammo, and the heavier than normal bullet (most 9mm is 115-124 grain) actually increases recoil slightly because it’s a larger mass being moved compared to the lighter supersonic bullets the pistol normally fires without a suppressor  on it. [/quote]

How did you end up with this level of depth and proficiency with firearms?[/quote]

I first learned to shoot when I was maybe 6 or 7, courtesy of my grandfather, and then later in the Boy Scouts I began shooting small bore rifles competitively and teaching other Scouts how to earn their Marksmanship Merit Badge. I went on to shooting combat/defensive pistol matches on a team during high school, college and shortly after, until work life became more all-consuming. The team I was part of at one point was in the top ten such teams in the country. We were frequently booked as consultants/trainers for local police specialty teams (like SWAT/ERT).

I haven’t shot competitively or instructed since probably 2000. But I still try to shoot at least every week or two, at home on a backyard range. I use the suppressors most of the time so I’m not annoying my neighbors. You’re allowed to shoot on your own property here, but using a silencer is still good manners.  [/quote]

Are you from Michigan [/quote]
