Because there's a chicken and egg problem of how do you get the bullet fired in the first place, and at the exact same spot you need to. I am with you actually. I think those inverted bullets are manufactured such that you can set them up to reverse-shot someone. I doubt that agent is moving backwards in time.
Nolan will have the simplest explanation needed for this. It won't be a complex answer where multiple assumptions are needed. The bullet was there "ahead of time" because he was destined to shoot that swat guy with a reverse-timed gun. He didn't need to plant bullets ahead of time, the bullet existed there because he wanted to save JDW and shoot the swat guy. If he never shot the swat guy, the bullet would not be there.

I think determinism will play a subtle theme in this movie, that the time of history ahead of us is already set in stone as the past. You will be unable to change the future if glimpes of it in current time already exist. Every gunshot in that bullet filled wall in the lab will be "caught" in the future.
I like your answer to this. If Nolan chooses this line of thought for Tenet, it will be curious to see how he will explain this without confusing audience. But being the auteur director, I think he will have a beautiful explanation for this (hopefully). But if this idea comes too early in the movie, the generic audience may not like it and box office may be affected.

Did you guys see that post on reddit?
Apparently when the guy reversed the bullet, the bullet grazed JDW arm.

Is it me, or does the SWAT guy who got shot look like JDW?

lol you're missing the point of the gif. The gif is pointing out that the bullet which killed the SWAT guy also hit JDW.

I know that. I am just saying the guy in the gif looks a bit dark skinned with similar eyes with JDW?
