Re: Where does sound of a firing a gun come from?
I can only tell you that I know for a fact shooting from my blind with the muzzle outside the structure is far, far less loud on my ears than if the muzzle is inside. Inside a building the sound bounces back.Running Arrow Bill wrote:Am curious. If one fires a gun inside of a vehicle or building, BUT the muzzle is outside of the structure, is the sound about the same as if you fired it in the open, outside? Thus, the sound comes from the muzzle, not the rest of the gun??
The practical point is that if someone shoots a predator inside their home, I imagine that one would be DEAF for a while due to the percussion effects.
Anyone have any real information on the above?
Thanks,
Bill
