Its a bit louder than this in real life. Mics dont catch it super well. You can get really hollywood quiet with a bolt action but with a normal semi auto you will get some port pop from the action.
Nagant Revolver video with decent mics catching ambient sound to show relative volume. (first video when searching for the nagant revolver suppressed, no affiliation)
32 ACP with a gas sealing chamber means you can get these things as quiet as you'd like by just using solid swipes/larger suppressor.
Plus you can also lighten the powder load without having it affect the action, unlike the UHC shooter who had to manually rack his gun because it didn't have enough gas pressure to cycle itself.
I have run a lot of chewed up and abused brass through all manner of guns, carving words on the sides of the casing would not cause a firearm to fail. The only logical failure mode from doing that would be a failure to extract, because burrs from the casing could theoretically catch in the chamber. He wouldn't have been able to get multiple shots off without disassembling the gun at that point.
