You asked the question, I gave the best answer I know to give. Physics is a passion of mine, absolutely fascinating, especially the physics of wave motion like sound transmission. My profession has had be cross paths with certain auditory instrumentation, and my personal life has seen many instances where I've been riding horseback or hunting out off of the grid and heard a gunshot, with many instances where I've grossly misjudged the distance due to estimating the wrong cartridge/firearm type - hence my interest in this topic in particular. I guess I don't see the sense in getting butthurt because someone gives an answer to a question you've asked.
