Gun nerds are saying it's a single shot 45 and that it looks like he might have been collecting the casings when he cycled to the next shot.
Also some are commenting that the first shot was a disabling shot to the leg allowing for a closer range second kill shot.
But it’s way harder to hit a leg than a torso. Like, shooting someone in the torso would also disable them for a closer range second kill shot, so I’m assuming the shooter aimed for the torso and hit the leg, then got closer to increase accuracy
Yeah who knows maybe his a bad shot. But a torso shot first would really kick in adrenaline if it wasn't a drop dead shot and than the target would be fleeing making it hard. And if you have ever shot a pistol the last thing you want to do is shoot further than maybe 10 feet cuz the accuracy on them is impossible to dial in for your average person.
When you watch the video he hits the calf. The ceo instantly tried to flee and stumbles to the ground.
This is clearly not an average person this looks like a professional hit job
i don't believe it, i think a professional would have tested the gun and gotten it to operate reliably. it's pretty clean aside from that though.
I'm not gonna elaborate but that isn't how this works.
you said you wont elaborate so i guess you're not obligated to respond. do you think he just intended to run it manual? if so, it doesn't look like he's cycling it very reliably, it looks like it takes a couple tries, and it looks like he pulls the trigger before noticing that it malfunctioned.
Looks like it was possibly a makeshift weapon a la
but more sophisticated. Either way he did the job and got away.
why does it look like that?
The emoji?
Because it is literally made from like plywood and some sort of metal pipe.
no i mean, what makes you say it looks like a makeshift weapon?
Watch the video, he clearly fires one shot then has some trouble with it and loads a second round manually before firing again.
the first shot looked center mass to me. target doesn't favor either leg as he moves to the wall
Could be. I can't really tell.
are the cops just wrong about it being 9mm? i don't know why they would lie about that, it's really easy to tell by looking at the casings. witnesses said it was really quiet, which means it was subsonic ammo, and 45 is better than 9mm subsonic, but subsonic 9mm still does exist.
Yeah it's a 9mm. I posted this before they released info based off of gun nerd comments on tiktoks.
