        Agreed, not sure why people keep saying otherwise. They found 3 casings at the scene, and 3 live 9mm rounds. The only way they'd find live rounds are if they were cycled out of the gun while clearing a jam.

        He wasn't fumbling with a gun that kept jamming. The suppressor used required cycling between shots, as lit likely lacked a Nielsen Device.

            I watched the video, and saw no "fumbling". It was corrective action on a failure to cycle, which is expected if your suppressor lacks a Nielsen device.

            And from what I saw, it looked quite practiced.

                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.

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