Serious question for the Army types

[Ural Quntz (Moderator)]

There are any number of POV videos of the frontline battles going on in UKR

Here's one of them

What strikes me (apart from how brutal this hand to hand stuff is) is that the gunfire sounds like a paintballing session.

Clearly it's way more deadly than that but is it just that we've been conditioned by the big budget action movies to expect something more 'authentic' sounding

Same goes for the grenades which sound only slightly more damaging than the Brocks bangers you used to be able to get

Any of you forces types have any first hand experience to be able to comment?

It'll be cos the microphones can't handle the noise mate

I've popped a few caps in asses during my time, loud as fuck

Certainly loud enough when your ears next to the weapon

Do we owe you a belated welcome fella?

If so.

Welcome.

It does kind of sound like that but to a deafening level. When it's coming your way it's like a crack and a thump if that makes sense.

Would TOOT mean something to you.?

What I like about this place is when I have no idea what messages are about.

Some of the weapons being used in that clip have a deeper louder sound to them - what are they?

I know you can get grenade launchers that look evil - wouldn't want to be on the receiving end

It will be an M4 quntzy most likely it has more of a bang to it

1 of my fave horse racing events is the Military cup at Sandown.

Jody Sole has won me a few quid over the years.

Mind you watching some of them jumping the quick double i get scared for them!
