Fallon Kid Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Got in last weekend from a camp out and two day match. Got in late Sunday and was unloading truck, I hung my shotgun bandolier around me which still had 34 rounds and carried my shotgun and range bag into my house. The bandolier was kinda heavy cause I load my 12gage with 3 drams of rot-gut FFF and 1.25 oz lead. As I entered the garage, I felt something wrong and soon discovered 4 squatters had entered my house. After a while I got back from Walmart knowing I would need spic-n-span and a new mop. I have a 2800 sq/ft house and the smoke had not completely cleared so I opened all the doors and windows. Two of the bathrooms had some damaged tiles and most other tiles were peppered with small chips. A corner of the kitchen granite countertop was missing and the arm of the couch was gone. I was hungry and started to make a BLT but had to run back to Walmart for tomatoes. Sat down with sandwich at computer to see if match scores had been posted yet. 1 1 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I bet it was loud for a few minutes. I have been in a room without ear protection when a shotgun was fired (packing house). Not fun. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouse fart compared to eight inch howitzer firing a zone charge. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that a .357 fired from the drivers seat through a work van's passenger side window, with no hearing protection, is REALLY LOUD? I do. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 When I was about 22 I conducted an experiment. You see cops on TV sitting in the car with the driver's door open shooting through the little v between the driver's window and the windshield support. Experiment. See how loud that is. 4 inch 357. I believe I have had tinnitus ever since. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 An AR in your bedroom in the middle of the night must be ear shattering, yet people use them for a bedroom gun. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any unsuppressed firearm discharged in a confined space is LOUD. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
