This is pure comedy. So how about identifying where the flurry ended up . This has to be the worse "crew" of assassins ever assembled 5-6-7-8 shots , a flurry, shots shells whatever . All these shots and only ONE hits the target. Would make one think that a marginal shooter with a bad rifle was taking the shots.

      Not sure how a Bolt Action Carcano rifle would be capable of rendering a "Flurry" of shots/shells, even if the 1st bullet/shot was already in the chamber.  If a soldier was inside a fox hole and recalled that a "flurry" of shells/shots were raining down on him, my initial thought would Not be that he was referencing 2 shots from a Bolt Action rifle. The use of the word "flurry" implies either, (1) Multiple shooters, and or (2) Automatic or Semi-Automatic weapon(s) being used.

*** A Need To Reconcile These Two Narratives?  ***

I am sure, a "flurry of shells" was heard during World War I and before.

Consider that the men on the Fifth floor heard shell casings drop on the floor above them. Harold Norman, Bonnie Ray Williams and the other man, one can double-check what they said, at least Norman attested to this. One might be able to reconcile these two tales about the bullet casings.

          Never excluded shots being fired from the sniper's nest. Multiple shooters would include the shooter heard by the witnesses above. Again, a bolt action Carcano would be incapable of producing a "flurry". Unless YOU consider shots being fired at roughly 2.5 second intervals a "flurry". Multiple shooters and/or automatic/semi automatic weapons would be necessary to produce a "flurry" of shots/shells.

Only if that bad rifle was capable of shooting a flurry of shells all together.

If flurry means all at once, please so define it as such.  Shots a few seconds a part, yes, could be within the working definition of flurry.
