Of course you are.

Of course you are.

Well, Hans Ø is still ours

Just saw a movie tonight, and there was that distinctive sound.

What would you do if you heard it ?

Be glad I heard it. It likely means I'm still alive.

Actuall, no - quite contrary

Slowwhand, for once in his life, is correct. If you hear it, you're alive. If it had killed you, it would have done so before you could hear it.

I have heard the sound in real life. It's not so much a bang-zingg as a very soft noise, like zzzzzzzzt (didn't even hear the gun). I've heard guns go off nearby, and even a .357 just sounds like a firecracker, with a bit more resonance though.

And yes, I was quite upset about it at the time.

The rare paintball that doesn't hit me makes that sound when it comes close by my head.

WTF?!? Audiosparx??? Dude, you've been hijacked!! My link is to SoundAmerica.com. Then to "Sound Effects," then to "Boing3."

Actually, there's a whole string of boings there: Boing1, Boing2, Boing21, Boing3, Boing4 and Boing5 -- they seem to be better at sound effects than at counting.

No offense, Che, but I think that you have got it all wrong. A Garand is a rifle and when you fire the last of typically eight rounds, then the cartridge carrier is ejected. That has a very special sound.

Which has got **** all to do with what? If you're merely talking about a Garand, you should be more specific. You forget us Americans actually deal with gun violence on a daily basis.

[BlackCat]

But I was specific - I described the distinct sound of an empty clip in a garand

[Winston]

Oh, I distinctly recall that sound from my days with the service.

But these days I prefer the more familiar pop - plingg over the bang - zingg.

Spoiler:

That's the sound of the last corn thingy popping and the microwave shutting off.

In American westerns of a certain era you heard the shot, then a distinct whiny zing indicating the round bouncing off a rock or somesuch. When we oldtimers see that written, it is often shown as "bang ... zing." Hence, a universal symbol that they missed us. In war, as Sloww and I were made aware, a bang followed by the sound of the round meant the round missed us. Although the American M-1 rifle (WW II timeframe) shared many characteristics with the Garand, automatic ejection of the "cartridge carrier" was not one of them. Since WW II, non-round-at-a-time loaded American rifles and carbines have used magazines.
