Thank you for posting the Nitter link, Joys1Daughter . . . I can't even get on X to fix the username problem that keeps me off the site, so it's Nitter or nothing for me . . .
After watching Benz being interviewed on Rogan’s podcast, I think it is smoke & mirrors by 🤡s in America as was mentioned in this post to throw us little folk off the scent of cyber hacks, stocks & Pelosi.
I had read somewhere that the pistol involved might have been a suppressed .22. That would make engraving messages on the casing a bit of a challenge but I guess it would be doable if you really wanted to send a message.
The casings never come in contact with the suppressor, they are ejected out of a side port... only the bullet passes through the suppressor. So engraving a casing would not be a problem, unless the extractor / ejector failed to work. I believe the gun failed to cycle because the shooter had a (probably homemade and too heavy) suppressor on it, which can be seen in the video, and that made the pistol not cycle properly. Anything that impedes an auto pistol's cycling, such as a "limp wrist" shooter or something heavy added to the gun, can cause it to not function as designed.
Getting his hands on an illegal can wouldn't be a problem. That would be much easier than trying to build a functional/effective can. It's more likely he was shooting subsonic ammo. A lot of guns won't cycle subsonics unless you tune them up. All my handguns that I use cans on are tuned up for subsonic ammo. He knew at the first shot the gun wouldn't cycle, it didn't come as a surprise to him. So obviously the guy knew very little about the mechanics of weapons. All he knew was how to point, pull the trigger and wrack the slide.
Yeah, what you said. He looked to be familiar enough with that gear that it came as no surprise to him when it failed to eject and cycle, like he'd rehearsed it a few times first. Since there is no sound with the video, it's speculation as to whether the rounds were subsonic or not...could be. But as you probably know, a .22 LR is going to be a LOT harder to engrave something on the casing than a 9mm casing.
Guess we'll have to wait to see the full report, if it ever becomes available. And illegal suppressors are just about everywhere. I've seen them sold as "solvent traps" at gun shows, some assembly required. They all come threaded for the standard threaded barrels on a lot of pistols and .22 rifles out there. Never wanted to mess with them because why alert the 8TF (kek) to your activities?
Sounds like fun. My favorite pistol is a PPK 22lr. Don't know if it's me or this particular one, but I'm dead accurate with it without even trying. Perfect fit for my hand.
It's threaded for a suppressor, but we live in the woods so there's no real justification for one. But it sure would be cool.
It's damn loud without hearing protection, especially compared to a 22lr rifle.
Look at the footage of the dude trying to give him CPR. He starts doing chest compressions, then gets up and walks around for a bit, then goes back to doing chest compressions. Like, who does that??
Explains the jamming.

Thanks Duck!
Seems like an odd style of backpack...
Yes...very streamlined

Sounds like a cheesy script for CSI: Somewhere_or_other
Pretty sure Mike Benz played a clip of this mantra on his recent appearance on Rogan.
Edit: Disregard. The Joe Rogan clip was Dismiss, Distort, Distract, Dismay.
Orgy of evidence. They are leading the story somewhere...
This is most likely a mislead.

Super interesting if true, I just got a .22 can for my .22 and can’t wait for it to get approved!

Nice! I have the FN 502 and so far I love it!
Garand Thump has a video on suppressed .22. I watched it, I "need" one NOW! Lol.
Did they though really?
Is he even really ded, then? Sounds like a political stunt for than a suicide.

It's starts around :17

Hmmm, that is weird, but maybe he's worried it's doing more harm by pushing on the bullet wounds so he's hesitant.
If his heart isn't beating, he's ded anyway, so why not continue the compressions? You've got nothing to lose at this point by trying.
good point.
Maybe refers to an internal company policy on claims?
