Was he using an Aperture Science designed gun, or did AP just use a stock photo for the article?
He was using a suppressor that looks like it wasn't installed correctly and the gun jammed multiple times. Clearing those jams resulted in several unfired rounds being ejected onto the ground.
Just screwing a can onto a threaded barrel on a tilt-barrel automatic can keep the gun from cycling properly. You often need to have a special adapter between the barrel and the supressor for it to operate.
Some talking head said he thought it might be a Station Six-9
Oh wow. I’ve never handled a suppressor myself, thought you just spun it onto a threaded barrel.
You can get away with that on guns without tilting barrels or moving slides most of the time. But between the weight of the supressor and possible interference with moving parts it can be an issue with something like a Glock.
You can usually get them installed in such a way. When I took my concealed weapons class in Florida years ago they handed us an old browning with a silencer like you speak of. They wanted to make sure everyone had at least fired a gun before giving them clearance to get a permit to hide one and carry it around in public with you everywhere. (Which you are not actually required to have ever fired a weapon before to acquire). At the time that one evening class I took would permit someone to carry concealed in 37 states.... That's how lax our gun laws are.
Suppressors have much stricter requirements in most states though. Although many people including the truck I drove behind earlier today seem to think those laws should be more lax.
