Fortunately for people who use guns, all the "hammer swinging" is done in the chamber and barrel. The reason why blunt force blows transfer a high percentage of their momentum to the target, and bullets don't, is all about surface area. Bullets use a lot of their energy penetrating stuff.
That being said, your idea that the bullet thru his chest expended all its momentum depends on the underlying assertion being true, namely, that there was a second bullet, and that the first bullet didn't subsequently enter and shatter his wrist. You cannot prove an assumption by showing that you have relied upon it.
I agree that validity of the Z film underlies all the mathematical work done by kenrahn. He is wise enough to say so. Altered or not, it still is the best single bit of evidence there is, and I note that you too have cited it in support of your argument.
