softer sound than i'd imagine, as in latest patch but i could imagine 8 of them would increase sound 8 fold?

That would be a milkmaid calculation

At first the guns don't fire synchronized, so the soundwaves sometimes add up, somtimes they cancel each other out.

It would be louder as a single gun, but a more constant noise, like ripping texture.

I think you have a pretty confused concept of sound waves. I personally don't know of any "don't fire synchronised" setup, once you squeeze the trigger they all go together, but even if it wasn't the case, with the insane rates of fire these guns had (the RAF ones had modified barrels and bolts for a higher ROF), you could hardly tell the difference whether they all shot with the same or not.

Did your turn up your volume to 11?

I doubt that our PC sound system could reproduce the sound levels required. I couldn't find a .303 but power wise it's within cooee of a .308

Dr. Krammer continues to say that shotgun noise averaged slightly more that 150dB. This is approximately 14dB beyond the threshold of pain, and more than sufficient to cause sudden hearing loss with complications.

Table 2. CENTERFIRE RIFLE DATA


.223, 55GR. Commercial load 18 _" barrel 155.5dB
.243 in 22" barrel 155.9dB
.30-30 in 20" barrel 156.0dB
7mm Magnum in 20" barrel 157.5dB
.308 in 24" barrel 156.2dB
.30-06 in 24" barrel 158.5dB
.30-06 in 18 _" barrel 163.2dB
.375 — 18" barrel with muzzle brake 170 dB

150+ decibals is fairly loud. luckly the closest Browning is several metres from the cockpit of the plane.

My ears are still ringing from my youth when only wimps wore ear protection!

Cheers!

I can't follow you here, first a slight and then unprofessional common places which doesn't prove anything.

I answered to the opinion that the sound should increase eight-fold, and you?
