A gunshot is the discharge of a firearm, and the sound effect thereof; the term can also refer to a wound caused by such a discharge.
[edit] Gunshot soundA typical rifle gunshot is very loud — in the region of 140 to 170 decibels while the threshold for pain is 130 db[1]. This can be lowered to around 115 db through the use of a suppressor and subsonic ammunition. [edit] Gunshot as distress signalSome doctrines of survival training allow for the use of three gunshots with an interval of one or two seconds as a distress signal.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [edit] Gunshot woundA wound caused by projectile from a gun.
