Nunes was the leader of a gang whose other members were later convicted of carrying out similar raids across southern England.
Officers had been investigating them for a year and had received intelligence Nunes was planning to hold up a cash delivery van in the town.
During the six-week hearing, jurors saw CCTV footage of the moment a rifleman from the Met's Flying Squad positioned in overlooking flats shot Nunes as he pointed the gun at the G4S security guard's head.
Markland then appeared to pick up Nunes's gun before being shot by another police marksman.
Markland was pronounced dead at the scene while Nunes died later that morning in hospital.
Central Hampshire coroner Graham Short had told jurors the inquest would examine the "operational and tactical decisions that preceded those events".
The police commander on the ground that day, Det Ch Insp Terry Wilson, told the hearing Nunes had taken officers "by surprise" when he pulled out a gun.
Post-mortem examinations found Nunes died from a high-velocity gunshot wound to the chest which exited through the neck and Markland died from two separate high-velocity gunshot wounds to the chest.
