A rifle does not sound like a cannon. Only someone who has never been near a cannon could say such a thing.

I spent most of my 34 years in heavy armored divisions with the M109 howitzer. The projectile is 6 inches in diameter and weighs nearly 100 pounds. When she fires, you feel the concussion in your chest before you realize you hear it. Even with a hydraulic recoil system and double baffle muzzle break, the 28 ton chassis bucks and rocks.

There are several good videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEHa2izgkQw

Just understand that even if the audio blew out your computer's speakers, it could not come near to accurately reproducing the sound or concussion.

As General Patton said, "God help me, I do love it so."
