Those Two Stupid Soldiers you really overdid this joke and it’s not working.

[@drummin7jeff]

As a sound designer 1. Can confirm, 2. a lot of people don't actually know how slow sound is, and having it be different than expected distracts them from the plot as they feel like it's a bit out of sync. Since you're watching it all on a screen in front of you, your brain kinda assumes that's about the delay you should hear because that's what you've always heard. Kinda the same reason why a lot of films still have no delay between lightning flashes and thunder, if it's more than a second or so apart, most people get pulled out of the film's immersion even though it's more accurate.

[@Carbon2861996]

@@drummin7jeff Chernobyl had a nice delay on explosion.

[@drummin7jeff]

@@Carbon2861996 it did! It worked really well for that scene too! Definitely helped push the emotional moment. That delay puts them about a mile from the explosion FYI. Don't misunderstand me here.. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying in many cases it hurts more than it helps. I do personally prefer a little more accuracy in that kind of delay and am very excited when it's done. I'm only pointing out that in some cases it's kind of awkward. Specifically if the visual edit doesn't support it properly. There are a lot of action films that cut too quickly to make aural sense if you had accurate timing. If I remember correctly there were a few films about snipers in the last few years that also did a great job with it. I believe I remember the Netflix show about a sniper that did it super well too.

That's just not how sound works, first you'd see the bullet hit something and hear a small continuous crack from the bullet, since it breaks the sound barrier. Then with a delay, you'd hear the bang from the rifle. Some movies do great jobs with remembering that, some movies totally botch it.

Respectfully I would say that of course suppressors don't make guns silent, but they CAN make them quiet enough that in a loud environment like a train station, they may not be recognized.

[@pxolqopt3597]

​@@firestorm165 In Arma 3 you have a certain number of magazines and each of those magazines carry a certain number of bullets, and when you reload all your doing is cycling which of your magazines is in your gun, so if you fire half your bullets in one magazine, eventually your going to reload and have half your bullets missing in the mag.

Just a side note about the water thing: The amount of water a bullet will penetrate is (mostly) determined by the bullet's velocity. The faster a bullet moves through water, the less time it has to displace said water and therefore encounters more resistive force. Think similar to oobleck, you can push your finger through it slowly no problem, but it turns rigid if you punch it. Mythbusters actually covered this myth by firing a bunch of different caliber guns into a pool of water. What they found was that things like pistol calibers (9mm, .45, so on) could penetrate a couple of feet, as could some slower rifle calibers. However the 50BMG disintegrated within a couple of inches. If you look for the clip it should still be around on KZbin. (from memory they didn't test lethal penetration distance, just total distance). If you wanted to get *really* nerdy about that too, you could take into consideration the shockwave from each bullet (as shockwaves are a much bigger threat in water) however I'm fairly certain that it wouldn't be too much of an issue past a foot, at which range shrapnel is probably more of an issue. I suppose either way, water + bullets = strange things and fun times.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The Slowmo Guys also did a bullets in water episode where you can see how quickly a hand gun bullet loses momentum as they fire into a pool.

[@alexventisei]

The rate of change of surface area (of the water) when you fire a bullet into water is what has the biggest impact on the change in momentum of the bullet

[@yourcurtainsareugly]

The length and density of the bullet can be significant factors as well. Impactors over a certain velocity don't penetrate deeper by going faster, but by being longer and heavier.

The projectile accelerating forward does have an equal and opposite reaction on the gun, but the escaping gases also add to the recoil.

[@goodiesohhi]

It's all dependent on the expanding gas, The gas pushes on the projectile, which causes the projectile to push back on the gas, while simultaneously, it pushes on the other side which pushes back on the gas. This applies an equal force on the two bodies, causing them to separate, as the gun is much more massive than the bullet because of inertia, the equal force only accelerates the gun backwards a little compared to the massive acceleration on the comparably tiny projectile.

very few movies ever get that 100% realism that a lot of people want to see. the best ones i've seen are usually about the conflict in the Middle East such as Black Hawk Down or Hurt Locker. action movies are kinda made to stretch realism to it's breaking point just to show how "badass" the hero is, when in reality they'd be dead as hell within the first few seconds of a gunfight. another issue is cars, explosives, and worst of all: nuclear weapons. cars don't explode after taking a couple bullets or after turning over, nor do they ever go flipping off into the air. cars are heavy, and usually gas tanks don't break and leak from the fuel line, but rather split open and pour from the belly side. grenades don't make fireballs. C4 does not make fireballs. dynamite makes a small fireball, sometimes, but not a big one. missiles are a ot faster than movies show. nukes are not a portable thing you can carry. a warhead for a nuke, at minimum, is about the size of a very large and very heavy car engine. they are not as easily stolen as a heist crew of some 12 guys with MP5's. but what really gets me screwy is when they use full auto weapons, spray a huge amount of bullets, and the three they do land (usually to the shoulder, hip, arm or leg) are instantly fatal, meawhile the hero get's shot by a large caliber handgun or a rifle and just "patches it up" and continues to fight as well if not better than before while only showing signs of pain on discomfort. a bullet to the shoulder is not fatal, but if it hits bone you would not be moving your arm for a looong while. if any of this sin't common knowledge, please take it to heart. guns are dangerous things in inexperience or ill-practiced hands. action movies are nothing like real life. don't try to be like rambo and hip-fire an LMG, that would both burn you from the heat of the gun and possibly break your wrist. they have bipods for a reason. have a nice day.

In terms of the sound, this is something I love about Arma 3 (I suppose it applies to other games, too, but here is where I really noticed it). The engine properly simulates how fast every sound moves, and especially with mods, you also get proper reflections, echos and reverb. Not only does this mean that handguns behave properly like this, but you can also have jets fly over above the speed of sound and you get a delayed sound with a sonic boom, and you can also be on the ground while an A-10 goes in for a strafe, hearing the hits before the BRRRT, or you could be in a plane, drop a bomb or shoot a missile, then watch it explode, and seconds later hear the boom...

That part about bullets not penetrating water very well at the end, Mythbusters (Adam and Jamie) did an episode on that and found that the faster the bullet the faster they got destroyed. subsonic bullets can penetrate water with minimal deformation (which is why ballistics labs use water tanks for bullet matching) but will become inaccurate within about 1-3 meters, supersonic bullets on the other hand will shatter on impact with the water unless fired from a gun already underwater then they become like subsonic bullets.

What you guys say about suppressors is generally correct a lot of movies do get it wrong, But the john wick scene is very plausible. A suppressed .22 in a very crowded loud train station would not be heard over the ambient noise level. Everyone likes to quickly jump on that scene and parrot what they have been told about how suppressors don't actually make them silent. It is even more plausible when you introduce .22 subsonic ammo. These are all things a highly trained assassin in the world they have created would know about and use when appropriate. TLDR: All you would hear with a suppressed .22 with subsonic ammo is the quiet click and cycling of the gun action. Which would not be noticeable in a loud crowded train station.

A .22 subsonic wouldn't be lethal. .22 is popular in assassinations to be used at point blank range i.e. pressed against the head. I don't remember now what assassin movie got that right. Further away it will only lightly wound. A .32acp subsonic (think James Bond PPK) would be a little more lethal and still quiet. Still a weak round and also normally fired blowback. But in that Wick clip it looked like both had 9mm and silly small suppressors too. I need to see that movie. Suppressed 9mm subsonic sounds like a nail-gun but that's with a large can.

Miner 2049er .22 ss is definitively lethal at up to 100m. The bullet wound is small and the impact even smaller, so you'd have to hit pretty well. But something like the face or heart is likely to result in death.

Incredible video yeah... and some other minor things, like: 1- Echoing sound design and the environment (Heat 1995 did it perfectly right) 2- The physics of bullet penetrating the organs and ricocheting inside the body or any other surface. 3- Sometimes post-mortem spasm happens, if someone is pointing a gun at a hostage head and you shoot him in the head his nervous system will force muscle contraction and he will involuntarily pull the trigger and the hostage dies (oftentimes no real police or SWAT shoots in such scenarios) 4- Shotguns can be used for medium range too (depends of course).

8:00 I was actually never used to playing many video games with guns and when I started playing Apex Legends I was wondering why nobody has these reloading issues as I have because I just wanted to use up all my bullets until a friend of mine explained to me that it's just adding bullets... like you described it. I have no idea why this is a thing in video games xD
