You can't suppress a revolver though.

You can with the right revolver. Revolvers such as a 1895 Nagant can be (and were by the Soviets).

 

[GK .Dundas]

Actually a few revolvers you can . The Russian Nagant being one of a handful of revolvers that will actually take a suppressor.

Neat. Does it have real tight tolerances or something?

Has a gas seal system, it moves the cylinder forward to lock it and utilizes a cartridge with a special case which seals the gap between the cylinder and barrel. It also causes it to have the worst trigger pull known to mankind in double action.

Cool. Sounds like some impressive tech for a pistol designed in the 19th century. I swear if he was born a bit later, we'd know the name Nagant just as well as Kalashnikov or Stoner. Gun design is neat.

So, not a pro.

Semi Pro? With a mission to change the way Health Insurers conduct business?

I think it was a dude(ette) with a grudge. They either have an insurance dispute with the Company or have a loved one who does.

Actually with the right machining and tech I think you could.

I have one, interesting gun, not exactly a powerhouse but good for executing people

At least you didn't preface it with "Based on my experience..."

Based on how the Czar/Soviets maintained order. The guy with the handgun is the one with the authority and mindset to shoot you.

It's worth bearing in mind that the inscribed casings do not have to come from the murder weapon. They could be from an unrelated firearm. The video does seem to indicate that the shooter caught the casings with each shot. Easy misdirection - cops chase down the wrong weapon.

Some lunatic on LinkedIn replied to a story about this with 'United Health Care is saving $10.2M with a trick CEOs hate' and I snort laughed.

Speaking of clusters of D words, this just in (highlights mine) ....

New photos released as hunt for UnitedHealthcare CEO killer continues

 

[brihard]

Gotta wonder, can they find a jury of twelve Americans who’ll vote unanimously to convict the murderer of a health insurance executive?
