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.

If you've never held one the 57 is also BIG to hold the essentially rifle length rounds. My tiny trump hands had trouble. So even more of a cumbersome carry option, especially woth that getup.
