And how damn loud it is. When you’ve got 240s, .50 cals, Mk19s, and TOWs going off all around you an M4 sounds like a pop gun.
Exactly. (And M4's are pretty fricking loud in their own right.) Hollywood soundtracks have the weapons going "ta-ta-ta-ta-ta," or "Chh-Chh-Chh..."
The reality is that even the small arms fire is fricking deafening. There is absolutely no fricking way that a movie could portray the noise and hell that results from a short 155mm HE round impacting 200 meters in front of your position.
TO the OP, thanks for giving me a place to vent a little bit. This was rather therapeutic. I owe you a beer,

Danger close (way close) with 2,000 pounders. Fun times! It’s a goddamn miracle no one lost their head to shrapnel. The concussion alone, up close,...
As an audio nut, I’d love to see them reproduce that experience. You’ll have people puking on themselves in the theater.
