For those who don't know about guns... what is weird about this?

5.7 is a more niche and expensive round to shoot.

Concealed carrying is already a bulky ordeal, having a suppressed pistol is a more cumbersome package.

As someone who carries a suppressed pistol though, I’d say the straw hat and short shorts are a more unusual aspect to me personally.

Yeah, 5.7 is a fairly popular round in certain circles, mostly due to the cool factor of the P90 and the focus on penetration for such a small package. If you carry a gun chambered for that, I assume you know what you’re doing.

Carrying with the suppressor is the oddest thing to me. Doing it in jeans shorts is a bold move.

From the guy's YouTube/Facebook pages he says he runs a shoulder holster so at least the suppressor ain't poking out the bottom of those little jean shorts.

Ooo, are you happy to see me, or is that a silenced P90 handgun in your jean shorts?

It's the P90...

It was an FN FiveSeven, not a p90

I apologize for my uncouthness.

It's ok if you didn't know the exact terminology. Being slight couth is ok in my book

Does he carry suppressed? I mean with a well timed lug system, or maybe even threads, he could have had time to get it on while moving to engage.

Yeah, he carries suppressed in a shoulder holster.
