Gunfire on the Fourth

[Splix]

I do have to admit, I take the fireworks sounds to my advantage to hunt those damn flower eating rabbits in my yard in Lafayette with a .22 pistol. Its the only window I have else the neighbors call the 5-0.

I was thinkin some tracer from a SOCOM 16 might be appropriate.

Where would AK fire be coming from in Broad Ripple? And, how, exactly are you distinguishing between that (or any other firearm) and the 1000's of varieties of fireworks?

Since BR, the southener part at least is surrounded by the Hood and AKs and SKSs are weapons of choice in the hood I figured it's a safe bet that some of the noise is 7.62 ammo going off. Not many fireworks come in 10-30 round mags. Having been in the military and then collecting/trading/buying/selling guns for 30+ years and knowing that "The AK 47 has a very distinctive sound when fired" I'm pretty certain I know what an AK sounds like. Have probably fired 50-75K rounds from Combloc weapons myself.

Well, you clearly have a wealth of experience. However (and I live not all that far from you) I wouldn't make the same bet.

Well sir, that's your right. I'll stick to my belief though.

This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you.

What goes up must come down. Plus it's illegal here.

What if they're firing into the dirt?

Then it's not going up.

Exactly! I'm sure you here some in your Hood too!

I hear everything over here. Never real close though which I am thankful for. Right now it is fireworks. Gonna go sit in the backyard in a few and watch downtown.

 

[Colt556]

It's pickin up speed outside! Lol...

 

[eldirector]

I lived down at 42nd and College for a while. I can vouch for the gunfire! I can't comment on the AK "sound", but it was easy to tell the fireworks from the gunfire.

Now I'm on the edge of rural. We still have gunfire, but for some reason it bothers me so much less!

Oh, and someone in the neighbor hood had some high $$ mortars this year. Holy COW! Impressive stuff.

 

[DRob]

Uh-huh.

Then it's not going up.

But it is still illegal.....................

 

[Colt556]

Yep, discharging a firearm in da city is a no no.
