I've heard a .303 1917 BSA SMLE fired by a numb skull who shot when the line was supposed to be cold and most of us had our ear protection off.
It was about 10 years ago. My left ear still rings a bit.
Firearms are loud!!! a lot louder than on TV or in a Hollywood movie. Our computer speakers would be destroyed trying to duplicate accurate firearms sound pressure levels.
