I watched both videos and observed some interesting and probably valid points.

I observed this about myself, though: I'm pretty uptight about terminology and easily distracted!

Video #1:
I physically cringe, when someone calls a box of loaded ammunition, a"box of bullets".
... a loaded cartridge, a "bullet".
... a fired cartridge-case, a "cartridge".

Video #2:
The muzzle-flash, rearward gun movement, and springing-action of the bi-pod were very distracting.

It seemed like there were too many variables.

Some of the 'barrel whip' could be in sympathy with the movement of the "gun carriage system" - (bi-pod, shooter, gun sled, ... whatever).

Yeah to both comments. 1st one may have been a proffessor trying to talk in layman's term. :-)
Second, I have seen a much more violent or pronounced whip on another video where there was no springy bipod, maybe with a higher speed camera.
The idea is there though.
