This is a weapons expert with experience with both of the types of weapon you're talking about and he says it's definitely not a VP9 or a welrod. https://youtube.com/shorts/POubd0SoCQ8

He pointedly makes no comment on all the people celebrating.

A lot of people in the comments seem to agree that this guy probably knew the gun wouldn't cycle and was expecting to clear malfunctions, which is why he seems unbothered by them. He may not have had access to legal and proper methods of suppression, hence the poor setup. Probably for the best because a registered suppressor would be easily traced.

I'm not able to watch that video right now but I definitely will. Thank you for the correction.
