I have a question regarding this card's ability: if you attack an enemy with the elusive keyword with the first attack, does the enemy disengage instantly so that you cannot trigger the second attack during this action?
Both use the timing word “after”, so you decide which one to resolve. So yes, you can get in the second shot before resolving the Elusive keyword

I disagree. The rule “For any given timing point, all forced abilities initiated in reference to that timing point must resolve before any reaction abilities (see below) referencing the same timing point in the same manner may be initiated” prevents firing the second shot at an Elusive enemy.

But the elusive keyword is not a forced ability.

Nor is it a reaction. All of the rulebook allowances for players to order simultaneous resolutions pertain to effects of the same type with identical timing. This is neither. The rules suggest (but do not clearly dictate) that “must” goes before “may,” and it’s reasonable to infer that “immediately after” (Elusive) is before “after” (Twin .45s). So there are two leaps of faith you have to take before you start stacking these to your advantage. Go for it if you want to, but nothing in the rulebook allows it.

Like you just said yourself, nothing in the rules reference prohibits it either. Your argumentation is a ruling, not a rule.

The wording of elusive also is not "immediately after", but "after that attack resolves ... immediately" which does make a significant difference. Otherwise I would have agreed with you.

I agree that my first response reads like “this interaction is conclusively prevented by the rulebook” whereas it’s more like “this interaction is not permitted by the letter of, and is prohibited by the spirit of, several rules in the rulebook.”
