And if you watch the video, you'll see how much recoil that little gun has; a heck of a lot.

So, from this:

To this:

And notice that he is shooting with two hands and with stiff arms, and with proper grip. You can be damn sure he doesn't have his middle finger on the trigger. But, the Garage Shooter shot with one hand and without being fixed and stable and operating the gun like this.

That's supposed to be .3 second after the shot, so why aren't we seeing the recoil right there? And don't tell me there's a delay in the recoil because that is bull shit; the recoil is simultaneous. Do you know who says so? A guy named Isaac. Isaac Newton. And you can't claim that it's after the recoil either. The fact is that nobody reported seeing any recoil, and no film or photo captured any recoil. Why didn't the Newsreel capture the recoil when it ended with a Jackson lookalike frame?

Compare the two grips:

Look at that flimsy hold on the left. Shooting the gun that way would hurt. It would hurt a lot.
