He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
I saw that too and wondered if that's characteristic of a gastrap...not having seen one firing... There's one at 2:43 firing and no signature like that. Again at 4:06.
Not sure I would like to fire the weapon like that in #1 either way its gunna hit your collar bone, probably get a good smack in the nose by the thumb as well.
Serial number 2126 was Canfield's gas trap, I believe the gas trap that was shooting is one of the new manufactured front end kits, which are made identical to the original

I think that having a gas plume like the one in the second picture after firing each shot would be distracting at the least and flinch-inducing if it blew back towards the shooter as I appears to do.
I see the cheekbone resting on the thumb in the third photo. That would give the shooter a good 'weld' and a contact index to ensure the same position every shot. Looking closely at the first and second photos, neither shooter has that cheek to thumb weld. Cinders is right. A shooter could end up with a bloody nose from not being in just the right position.

Yes, I'll bet. Can't see anyone shooting his original. Not when you see the one in the book by Pyle...destroyed because of a round firing pin I think it was.
