The most interesting aspect of that scene isn't what's being shown, it's what wasn't shown. Right before Kiritsugu stabs his father up to when Kiritsugu starts pulling the trigger on the gun, we do not see his face at all. There was an intentional effort on hiding that until after he finished stabbing him. It's only when he starts shooting him that you see his blank face.
The reaction that Kiritsugu had when he first made his decision is incredibly ambiguous, which makes it all the more interesting to see if (when?) it is revealed.
