This video investigates whether the United Healthcare CEO was shot with a World War II Welrod pistol. The instructor, a suppressor enthusiast, analyzes the shooter's actions in a short video clip, concluding it's unlikely to be a Welrod. The key indicators are how the shooter manually cycled the firearm, grabbing the top of the slide rather than the rear as with a Welrod, and the absence of the characteristic twisting motion. The instructor posits the shooter likely used a standard semi-automatic pistol with a large suppressor that was either malfunctioning due to lack of lubrication or extreme cold, or lacked a proper booster (Nielsen device) altogether, leading to cycling issues. Homemade suppressors are also considered a possibility.
