    I’ve heard that the silencer may have had an impact on the bolt returning properly. If so he may have been aware of this already as he very quickly dealt with the stoppage.

    He practised, is what I’m suggesting.

        it could be the combination of the two. suppressors commonly induce failures to eject in tilting barrel designs without the use of a nielson device, and if he had used subsonics, that would also be a contributing factor to a failure to eject.
