Patrick C Wrote:The single shot to head that was fired from the TSBD 6th floor SE window had three composite sounds initially:

Sound barrier
Muzzle blast
Impact

Fragmentation of the bullet caused pieces to strike the windshield and the mirror and trimming

Echoes would occur.....

And as Roy K was right there in the thick of it, it is no surprise he thought he was hearing more than one shot....

Anyone who's been close to the trajectory of a bullet knows this for the nonsense it is.

Marines at the rifle range are just a few feet away from bullets flying, and I can, with experience, state that a single bullet has a single sound, and one will not be confused with echoes.

Only people not in the direct path of a bullet might get confused.

Tell us Patrick, have you ever had a bullet fly within a few feet of your head? You'd drop this silly claim if you take the time to experience it.
