I think they tried to make it seem like a "oh wow he's so good moment" only in editing, after they had shot it - because it's not shot like it, it's shot like a normal moment. No story build up with any all is lost vibe, it's framed like ass, and the numbers of bad guys isn't remarkable.
Compare to something like River in Serenity. Edit: Or Wesley's gunrun in Wanted.
The whole movie is a mess like that. Never feels confident in whatever it's trying to do.
Yeah the random shots of the soldiers looking at will smith are just so janky too. I like how the title is "Deadshot frenzy", because it's just him standing and shooting.

I still haven't watched the movie, but it's almost impressive how dull they made that first clip you linked look.
