Hello the Line!
This may sound like an odd request, but I am currently in the process of writing a book. It has many guns named throughout, but I realized that I was only able to describe the sound of those guns that I have actually fired. The main character in my book recently acquired an M1A, and since I have never fired one (to my eternal regret...yet) I was wondering if anyone could describe to me what the firing of an M1A would sound like, descriptively. I have described the crack of a high powered rifle and the "thoom" sound of an Enfield, as well as the "punch" of a .45, but the M1A is outside my experience. Other guns that would help are .223 AR's (I've shot them, but it's been a while), and the Mosin Nagants.
Any help is certainly appreciated, and worth a mention in the Author's Note.
