      One in which the firearm fails to cycle, due to having a suppressor attached? And when you watch him clear the firearm, its very well practiced. It’s not “fumbling”. And it’s always easier to clear, and fire again, then to keep trying to figure out why it didn’t fire. Just rack it clear. Shit, I practice for that, with spent cartridges (To simulate a stovepipe), training rounds (For failure to fire), and other training issues for things that are good chances in the field.

      I mean, I don’t think this is a paid hit, either. A paid hit would have been a .22 fired to the temple, in all likelihood.

        A practiced professional wouldn’t have a nonfunctional gun. I think we must have watched different videos, anyway, because nothing about the gun handling looks more than surprise and then fumbling to me.

          I never said he was a professional… just not an amateur, unless we are talking through very specific sense, rather than the colloquial sense.

            Guy doesn’t have a gun that works right, he racks good rounds out (you should not be doing this in drills), he uses a GPS tracked bicycle

            He was definitely an amateur. Lucky maybe, but there was nothing professional here.
