To: Does so

There was NO “smoke”. The “smoke” was not SHOT, but FLOWED rather, FROM the victim TOWARD the shooter. It was probably bear spray, or mace. The “report” of the shots was too crisp, and too loud, for it to have been a black powder arm, and the shots were in such rapid succession that only “FANNING” could have achieved it, which is a ridiculous technique. Anyway, that’s IMHO, based on a lifetime of watching movies...and some other experiences, here and there.

I disagree. Both clouds of smoke appear coincident with the shots.

There are plenty of double action black powder firearms, and the sequence of the shots could easily be from a double action revolver.

The acoustics from microphones make it difficult to determine what kind of firearms was shot, unless there are some serious calibrations involved.

It cannot be determined if it was black powder or not, but black powder cannot be ruled out.
