  • EARGASM!

  • @TheThrash3r LOL

    

  • angeles range?

  • @adenak

    Yes. Right side. 100 yards.

  • I have been told that three rounds from a standard service rifle, without hearing protection, will cause permanent and irreparable hearing damage. I would guess the logic in warfare is that you are trying to kill the other guy, and he's trying to kill you, in that context hearing is not considered all that important. Remember armies are supposed to kill people and break things.

  • I agree. A 30-06 round fired with no hearing protection is pretty devastating. At some range, the last thing you'd be hearing in a pitched battle is the ping. We shoot it using hearing protectors and ear-muffs. You can hear it, but 100meters away, I'd be more worried about the bullet hitting me than hearing if my enemy was out of ammo. Think about it. 8 rounds, semi auto, as fast as you can pull the trigger, vs a mauser bolt action, or a Schmeisser machine pistol. No contest.

  • I've heard stories that the German/Japanese troops learned what that ping sound was. So whenever they heard that sound, they would stand up and open fire because they thought their opponent was reloading. And the Americans had the bright idea of just throwing an empty 8 round clip on the ground for the same effect. And when they did that, it would make the ping and the enemy would pop out of cover only to be shot.

  • my favorite song

  • Yes it everything can be used to defoil an enemy. E ven the ping sound was used to defoil the Japanese what others called flaws we used the flaws to work for you not against you...Same thing with anything.

  • @EvansFTW

    Ping sound comes DIRECTLY from the clip ejecting. Not when the clip hits the ground. What happens is the Americans would let one soldier finish his rounds, wait for the enemy to pop up, than take him out.

  • @LWDNKUMUS and Blow shit up! >:|

  • i can imagine thaqt ping is the sound a rifle makes when being shot by angels

  • Dont need to be a nerd, but it's kinda like V.A.T.S. at the end.

  • the rifle that won the war

  • Gotta love that PING!

  • 3 people got hit in the face with the clip when it ejected

  • That must be the most sound in the world
