It's kind of a cheat, but Jack isn't in a patient mood and he has enough electric gel to take the Bouncer two thirds of the way to its grave in one go. Sinclair wasn't planning on using that ammo, right?
When the stream of zapping gel peters out, he drops the thrower and swings his shotgun into place*. The standard practice of zap-shoot-dodge commences -- but it's shorter than Sinclair might remember, because the shotgun and its electric buck are considerably more powerful than the pistol, punching holes in the Daddy's armour that leak blood and other less wholesome fluids.
The Bouncer slams the ground with its drill, making the whole room shake -- dust falls from the ceiling -- and Jack stumbles, stunned for a moment. The Bouncer begins another charge and Jack recovers just in time to leap out of the way--
--mostly. He falls and the Bouncer straight up thunders over his leg, and he screams, over a very audible cracking and crunching noise.
The Sister cheers triumphantly. The Bouncer slows and turns around for another charge. Jack screams through his teeth and fumbles for a med kit. Two shots of Electrobolt -- one goes wide, one keeps the Bouncer in place for a couple more seconds. A couple of seconds for him to stick the med syringe into his hip. There's a furious itch that overtakes the pain.
Thankfully a med syringe is more specialised than pure ADAM, so the fragments of bone and muscle line up roughly where they're supposed to go before they fuse in place. He's not going to have to re-break anything.
The ground thunders with the Bouncer's charge. This time Jack flings himself to his feet, really does make it out of the way.
Jack uses the wall to break his momentum, spins round and keeps moving and shooting and zapping and moving. After the beating it took from the electric gel, it doesn't take too much longer for the Bouncer to let out a final agonised moan and drop to the floor. Jack stops running and slumps over for a moment, breathing hard.
*which I have to say is not loaded with pistol ammo, even though I'm probably the only person who even remembers or cares that I made that mistake

"Oh no," shouts the Sister. "Hurt him, Mister B! Hurt him!!"
