All else aside, the guy leaving with the gun didn't fire it. There was no recoil, no action cycling or shell ejection ,no vapor, and someone would have probably been hit from ricochet and fragments. A 9mm still makes a decent recoil and some vapor.

This just makes it worse as it means the first shot heard is from the other agent's gun so they had zero excuse.
