In shivering, it's just the backpack. Granted, the leaning frame looks wrong, and so is the episode picture for Gene Machine, but given that these seem to be the only two instances in the entire game showing both the gun and the backpack - most of the time he has either the gun or neither - it seems that it should be these images that are labeled the incorrect exceptions.

I didn't even notice the missing gun in the tumble; I was looking for evidence for my own statement.  But didn't Jazz have his gun on the Turtle Terror cover? (honestly can't remember)
I see what you're saying here, though. But in all honesty I just think the backpack was simply forgotten in the large majority of frames, considering that JJ2 added it in most of the time. (I don't understand why the heck they forgot the backpack on the shooting while standing poses, but included it on the shooting while jumping. You'd think they woulda noticed!)

Irrelevant. JJ2 made no attempt to be in accordance with the original character design. It may have become canon that the gun and the backpack are separate, but my post was only talking about the original intention of the game designers, which I am pretty sure was for the two to be the same.

Oh, I misinterpreted earlier. I didn't catch that you were referring to the original intention. That's a pretty clever idea. Kinda wacky, but clever.
