Non potrebbe essere un refuso per 'shoved him in the shoulder'? In questo caso vorrebbe dire che gli ha dato una manata sulla spalla o una spinta. Che ne dici?

spintonandolo sulla spalla

Context!

Più in alto si parla del Lancer, an (oversized) assault rifle!
Nowadays it is a very trandy gear of war in videogames..

“You’ve got me curious, too,” Cole said, resting his Lancer against his shoulder. “I think I’ll join you.”

Quindi lo spintona sulla spalla (gli punta, in partica, il fucile addosso)
Brave ancora ragazze, starei ancora scervellandomi!
Un saluto
