I think it didn't jam. The gun was either modded or designed to be single shot like a bolt action rifle. These are exceptionally rare (because they are bad for self defense) BUT they are much more quiet than a self-load semi auto because the chamber remains shut during the firing, so all the sound goes through the muzzle. And, it has the added bonus of not ejecting the spent casings automatically which may have finger prints on them.
The casings that the shooter did leave probably were deliberately cleaned or never even held by hand and specifically brought to the scene to be left there.
I don’t know much about the firearm he was using, but I’ve heard conflicting reports that the weapon was some type of bolt action pistol and the gun didn’t jam, but I wouldn’t know for sure. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an individual action or a group/government/crime hit job.
Possibly, but there may not be enough energy to reliably unlock the barrel and you'd have to come up with a spring on your own. No manufacturer or aftermarket vendor would sell one since it'd risk damaging the gun if you fired full power loads through it with a super weak spring.
This makes it seem unlikely to be a properly professional hit since the dude is dumb enough to jam his gun and inscribe his casings.
I agree. I don't think a professional hit would have gotten his face on camera either.

Interesting... Deliberately misleading. Although recovering the bullets would show if they matched.
Yeah I was wondering if the inscriptions could also be put there to throw off the police. The dude seems pretty clever.
Like, maybe it was over a debt or something, and the killer decided to make it look like a hit by a crazed customer. Just a possibility.
People on reddit went straight to assuming the killer is a social justice hero btw.
I absolutely disagree (and firearm jesus also agrees with me), it doesn't look like anything but a semi-auto jamming.

Shooting subsonic ammo with a suppressor requires to manually cycle, this is most likely what happened.
Like in metal gear solid 2!
I imagine this can be solved with a looser slide spring, right?
In theory it should.
Never tried myself.

I've heard that rumor, but I highly doubt it. It looks like a jammed semi-auto.
He's clearly no Scaramanga
