Still hard for me to imagine how pointing a gun, which you knew had some bullets but perhaps didn’t know exactly how many bullets, at someone’s head at short range and thus causing that person’s death isn’t manslaughter.

Except as he testified, he fired the two warning shots and pulled the trigger after that and it didn't fire, he didn't think he had any bullets left.
You can talk about negligence in that he didn't check, but he certainly from his testimony believed that the gun was safe.
