What do gunshots sound like?

i heard people being loud outside, and then like 3 pops. it didnt echo or anything, but idk what guns sound like.

It depends on the type of gun. The three main types are pistols, shotguns and rifles.

Pistols DO sound like 'pops' (multi rapid fire or single shots) and have a higher pitch than shotguns or rifles. Unlike fireworks, they do NOT normally echo nor do they make hissing or crackling sounds.

Shotguns and rifles make a lower-pitch 'boom' sound but the boom/noise from a rifle will resonate longer than a shotgun.

I've heard better examples but if you wish to hear the sounds some weapons make, you can listen to the recordings at the following link: http://audiosparx.com/sa/display/sounds....

Jacy gave you the best answer. Each type of weapon has a slightly different sound, based on bullet size and velocity. But some kinds of guns do make "popping" sounds if you hear them from a distance.

They sound like the loudest firework you ever heard. Now if you live in the city they it may of been a gun shot. If you live in the suburbs then it wasn't. If you live in the country, it was just some good old boys having fun.

Go to youtube. There are lots of videos of guns going off.

Kind of like when a car backfires or when teenagers let off fireworks.

Pew pew pew pew bang kerpow wooo pow pow pow

its like the crack and hiss of fireworks, not a pop or bang

If your nearby, your ears will go deaf.

You tube it

BANG! BANG! BANG!
