The former president ducked to the floor as shots rang out and was mobbed by Secret Service agents, while the sniper, who was killed by security forces, has been named as Thomas Matthew Crooks.
They sound nothing like bullet impacts on anything.
It sounds tinny due to the audio being equalized for a speech in a large open noisy area.
The report that you hear afterward is the echo, the report, of the gunshot, as the sound is in a fairly large open area and it bounces/echoes through the environment.
This confirms that it is real gunshots, not bb guns as some people who have evidently never listened to footage of gunshots are claiming.
I have done a lot of this as I have done a good deal of sound design research for mods for various military/realism themed shooter games, and yes that does make me a bit of an odd duck.
However, mixing up certain guns and certain ranges under differing audio conditions is an entirely different ballpark then confusing a firearm with a bb gun.
I didn’t mean to be rude, just fact of the matter, with the post I am responding to.
The bb gun thing is a reference to some other person elsewhere in this thread who cited some rando on twitter thinking it was a bb gun, who I do mean to be rude toward.
You may be right, but that final shot throws me off. It sounds like a different caliber round, and there’s no click that comes before it, which makes me think the last shot was fired at the shooter by somebody else, instead of at the podium.
A consensus seems to be emerging that the first few shots were the shooter, and at least some of the volley that followed were from counter snipers or a quick react force of some other technical name.
You are not hearing the impact of the bullets.
The ‘click’ you are hearing are the gunshots.

To be fair… how many people listen to footage of gunshots? I have only heard them fake in a movie or in real life from my memory.

So, basically, you are probably correct.
That would explain why they let him stand up.
