Range Target Sound Question.
Range Target Sound Question.
Just wondering, two distinct sounds are heard when the aircraft fires at the target, is the first sound the aircraft firing or the bullets hitting the sand ?

Re: Range Target Sound Question.
Guess what... depends where you are stood (in relation to target and aircraft)
Usually at east coast ranges (if you are (were) in a position to photograph that aircraft firing) then gun first.
interestingly sometimes at Donna with the A-10s you would get three sounds - gun, shells hitting the target then reflection of the gun off the wet sand!
