They usually do sound different than in the movies, mainly action ones but some older westerns come pretty close. Steve Click to expand... I have to agree. Long rifles can be and often are extremely loud depending on the cartridge. Sure that .223 (5.56) is pretty wimpy but when you step up to .308 (7.62) things change. Something that most people haven’t experienced is firing a weapon in a confined space which is on a whole other level of loud. Well I guess some people shoot at indoor ranges… so I guess it’s not that rare, but probably still not the same as firing from inside a truck cabin.</SPAN> Anyways, the movie We Were Soldiers does a fairly accurate job of capturing the sound of M16s in use if I remember correctly. </SPAN> But yeah movie stuff is fake…lol like all of Hollywood. </SPAN> Reactions: GO-NAD!

I don't know that I'd call a .223 wimpy; you're not going to mistake it for a .22LR at a minimum. I will say this much though: one of the louder things I've ever encountered was being next to a guy firing a M1 Garand at an indoor range. Even with hearing protection, it got your attention...

GO-NAD! Audioholic Warlord Apr 7, 2009 8,252 0 113 Nova Scotia, Canada Jan 8, 2013 #29 When the purchase agreement was signed, we were getting them for a song. It was the cost of fixing the bugs and updating them that cost so much. The value for money is most certainly debatable. However, it's almost pointless. It was a time of severe fiscal restraint which coincided with the end of the useful lives of our previous submarines. So, it was these boats or nothing. It's been a long, hard, expensive road to get them up to snuff. Anyway, the point behind linking the video, was to contrast the sound of a real torpedo detonation with what you might hear from Hollywood, not to discuss the merits of the boat that fired it.

The most annoying part of the M16's sound is that "BOIIIING" sound that the recoil spring makes right beside your ear. The loudest rifle I've ever fired was my Lee Enfield .303 Jungle Carbine. Might be due to the fact that the barrel is 6.5" shorter than my No.1 Mk III. It kicked like a mule too... However, the thing about rifles and handguns is that they may be loud, but the frequency of the sound seems to be quite a bit higher than they make them sound in most movies.

I'm guessing that the microphone was the same one used to record the dialog inside the boat - I highly doubt they would've rigged one external to the pressure hull.
