The sound is funneled and focused toward the entrance where they are all standing and no one flinches. The gun is discharged in a hallway that is adjacent to the entrance. Majority of the sound waves would travel toward the direction where everyone is standing and not toward the hallway behind where the gun is discharged.

Perhaps. As he has more experience with guns than me and has shot many in war and as an officer, I thought he knew based on this experience. You too make a valid point. I’ve only ever fired in a gun range and off my porch as a reference. Never in a building with separate rooms.
A hallway would create an echo as the sound waves bounce off and are funneled. But since there was opening the gun position was angled where AB was at so the sound should have traveled sufficiently for those nearby to cause them to flinch if a weapon was discharged.
