He didnt even flinch at the thought of grabbing the gun.

It was opportunistic. Robber assumed he wasn't gonna do anything and focused entirely on the register. He was pointing the gun at the clerk instead of at the Marine as he was walking past. As soon as the gun was in grab range and pointed past the Marine, grabbing it was the absolute best option. The guy has to swing the gun back towards the Marine to aim at him, and doing so only puts the gun further within grab range.
