What did the government say about the IR video taken at Waco? I do remember the so-called experts talking about how they believed certain artifacts that seemed like flashes were indeed gunshot flashes. There are several problems with being certain with that. One, in the far field, small events are less than one image pixel on the focal plane and as such can not be a true image but only illuminating that pixel. The second problem is the normal "shutter" speed is only 1/30 of a second which is slow for a gunshot event and will miss a portion of that event.

I did not see the video but I would have asked the question or tried to determine the distance of the camera from the alleged gunshots, then compare the expected fill in the focal plane with the actual using data from the digitized images. If they agreed it could be gunshots, if they did not, they are just some artifact of unknown origin.

The govt in reference to one (or more I can't remember) "flash of light" said it was a reflection. The man who invented FLIR said it was a gunshot. See the movie Waco, The Rules of Engagement.
