Upon deciding to learn everything about guns as I possibly can, one of the first things I wanted to do was familiarize myself with the different sounds... one night I swear I heard a .40 being shot across town... turns out someone drew a weapon on a local LEO... he shot his glock in .40... on another night I heard what sounded like a .38... someone had their house broken into and fired... on another night it sounded like someone shot a shotgun... but it was a semi tire that blew out... I was in the house so I didnt hear anything but the boom... my friend was outside smoking and he could hear the "flapping" afterwards...
