You think? An amateur would not have had that level of composure when the gun jammed. At a minimum they understood the limitations of their tools beforehand and was not surprised when it happened.

I don't think it jammed, some kind of silencer issue where you have to manual reload. I don't know guns just repeating talk I've heard. So the gunman would have known to manually reload like that...

He likely had an unregistered suppressor, which would lack a part that prevents jams. I've seen people saying he was probably accounting for the possibility of a jam

Yes I was dumbing it down but you're both right. My point is that they new it would happen and was prepared for it, ensuring smooth operation regardless of the limitation.
