elsenortamatoe (01/08/2016) [-] Firing rifles too close to towns is highly illegal. The bullet can travel into town if you miss and still have enough energy to kill someone.
Firing a weapon can violate local ordinances.

captchakid ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-] Because those are designated, he was referring to firing a weapon in your backyard or in the streets and such. I'm certain this is obvious, and you were taking the opportunity to spread your 'knowledge'.

I'd like to say that some of the younger generation is wising up to these preconceived notions but it'll be a while before our country reduces it's ignorance

Listen, I have heard tons of both of these things, the only difference that is clearly identifiable is when the firework has the burn sound.

lean (01/08/2016) [-] ******** . anyone around guns regularly can tell the difference between rifle, shotgun, and pistol fire at distance, and firecrackers sound like none of these things, unless you are in a panicked mob with herd mentality.
Rifles go KRAAAAAaaaoooowww, and you can hear the trailing echo across miles
Shotguns have an almost doubled noise Kra-wumph, no echo
Pistols go Poww!, short and brisk.
a firecracker is almost identical to smacking 2 2x4's together, and as you get larger in size go from a light pop to almost a roaring BOOOOOOM. You can essentially hear the difference in noise given by the focusing capacity of a gun barrel.
Laugh all you want at my onomatopoeia, it's as accurate as I can make it using words. Go sit about a half mile from an outdoor gun range or people shooting, it's super identifiable. You can actually hear differences in caliber as well.

I have heard a fair amount of firecrackers and guns, and I don't recall any sounding like they came from the other category.
Not saying it's impossible for them to sound like each other, but my experience is they don't, which makes me wonder whether the poster has ever actually heard a gun.

danrmanalt ONLINE (01/08/2016) [-] Dude, honestly I can't tell sometimes.
Especially in the summer, that **** just blends together.
all the kids have firecrackers and all the drug dealers have ana with eachother,
It's just bangs and pops left and right.

There's a reason there's laws against this stuff.

Completely true story - I live in the midwest out in the middle of nowhere. Our nearest neighbor lives about 6 acres away and loves shooting (we do too, but not as much as this guy). Apparently he had received some tannerite for Christmas and decided to blow that ****** up. Scared the holy hell out of us. Found out later that a farmer about 2 miles farther down the highway called the sheriff and claimed that the explosion killed one of his cows and wanted the guy to pay for it. Our cows (who were a lot closer) were fine so the sheriff called BS and now the guy has decided to be a prick and call the sheriff anytime someone decides to target practice (which is everyone but this asshole in a 20 mile radius).
