They were using subsonic rounds. Those frequently don’t have enough oomph to fully cycle the slide on their own in a blowback operated gun. So they had to manually cycle the slide between shots. That wasn’t a problem with the gun, just a quirk of the ammo.
I figured they were talking about between the second and third shot where he’s having to mess with the chamber. I also heard that whatever happened may just be normal for the setup he was using. But I’m not sure of either because I’m not a gun guy.
I don’t think there’s more video though because he takes all 3 shots in that.

Gun gal here: yeah most 9mm pistols with a Browning-style action (Glocks, Sigs, etc) won’t properly cycle with a suppressor on them. Something about the barrel tilt. You need a special bit called a booster to get enough recoil to cycle. Otherwise you need to manually cycle like seen in the video.
I want the full video though. I heard his gun got jammed or something which he fixed to continue shooting.
