if you go to the range at a base,do they give you hearing protection?

@CA1CWilliams This is a range outside of a base. They don't give you hearing protection so it's always nice to take some with you. I'm sure they would give you some if you asked for it, but I like to experience the true effect.

Is this at Poinsett Range over by Shaw?

[test4echo99]

@BDSIII Yes, it is. Although now only F-16's shoot there and the A-10's have gone to Georgia I believe.

That is actually the sound of dead tanks!!!! The a10 eats them hole 1st sound, and then lets a big burp after!! 2nd sound!!!

@hoadmaback You're right dude. Its the doppler effect from the plane coming towards you. The pitch shift is caused by the plane passing and moving farther from the camera stretching the sound waves out. The shells are travelling faster than sound and pass you before the sound wave of the cannons firing reaches you. Thats why you hear the shells cracking through the air before the burst.

@hoadmaback you got that order messed up. its actually 2 rounds of fire, you just dont hear the 1st pass by as the video is cut
