This is what a shotgun really looks like when firing:

Note how the smoke actually makes little vortexes as it is blown out. I guess the camp david guns are able to avoid the usual laws of physics regarding gas flow. And the quantity of smoke is WAY less than with barry’s gun. I’m guessing that barry (or his stunt double) posed holding the gun and the crack team of white house photo fakers added the smoke for dramatic effect.
Note the angle of the gun compared to Obama's picture.
