Can anyone make out the make and model of the gun?

One would think that a semiauto would mostly likely fail on a subsequent shot, i.e. FTF or FTE?

I wonder if it was bad ammo or a user error such as forgetting to rack the slide or deactivate a safety?

Perhaps a Makarov in 9x18mm? That is one of the common Eastern-bloc handguns manufactured in large numbers in the old Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact subject states.

EDITED TO ADD: I looked up the assassination attempt. The story said that a "Gas Pistol" was used. Link describing Gas Pistols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_pistol
