It’s possible he really downloaded some 158gr+ to get it as quiet as possible. To the point it wasn’t supposed to cycle.
Typically, though, you don’t necessarily get less recoil with subs. You get different recoil.
A 115gr 9mm at 1300fps as a sharp recoil. More than enough to run the gun.
A 147 / 158 / 160+ 9mm at 1000fps, has a lot of of the same energy, and typically a slower burning powder is used. It’s also enough to run the gun, the recoil is a lot longer and pushier instead of snappy.
I don’t know. If it was me, I would have my ammunition ready to cycle the gun. Yes, it’s a little bit louder, but the chance that I need to fire more than a couple of shots in order to achieve my goal and escape, outweighs the absolute sound reduction to me.
But, there is something to say that if I filled my silencer with wire, pulling gel, it was a big can, I have some ammo that I know won’t cycle, and I didn’t think I was gonna be in a place with cameras, yeah I don’t know. Maybe it was intentionally downloaded ammo.
