*** GSR doesn't work like that. The original poster has every reason to be bugged. Every part of that exchange was just dumb and illogical. If the agent knew how forensic evidence worked at all, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of trying to '''badly''' fabricate some. He would have done what the rest of the team was doing and simply gone into follow orders mode and killed everybody. If he was trying to protect her, nothing about what he did makes any sense: arming her with a disarmed weapon, sending her back into the line of fire; it just doesn't add up. And if he were trying to make it look like be had to kill her to protect himself, and was trying to fabricate forensics to support returning fire, he would know that shooting her in the back while she ran inside wouldn't look good either. No, that whole scene is flipping off the MST3KMantra.
** My two cents on it: the agent was struggling between choosing to gun her down as the orders said to and letting her go back and try to rescue the kids. He settles on the second option, but decides to empty his revolver and give it to her unloaded so she has a way to appear armed to her family without the possibility of actually shooting him.

** If someone has fired a gun recently, there will be gunshot residue on him. The way that the ATF agent held the pistol near her hand and fired it away from her, it looked to this troper like he was trying to make it look like she'd been firing it, planting traces for Forensics to find. Also, if he had gotten her to hold the gun, her fingerprints would be on it.
