I've shot and been around the shooting of easily of 1 million rounds. 9mm isn't loud, especially in comparison.
Yeah, good point, gun safety is very Important. Guns aren't toys.
I've shot a few thousand rounds. 9mm is very loud. Shoot it in a closed space just once without earpro and you will cause permanent damage to your hearing.
I don't think a million round sample size would help you in judging this.
I've never heard any weapon fire 9mm and think "welp time to get my ears checked"
You realize it's a function of distance and that function is logarithmic, right? A gunshot at one foot is a hundred times louder than it is at 20 feet. If you were exposed to a million gunshots of any caliber from a foot away, you would be profoundly deaf.
This is the most blantantly ignorant comment I've read on Lemmy. No one would assume that every single shot was shot close to my head.
That being said, yes, most living adults understand how sound works.
So why even mention your million rounds as a reply to "I just fired a gun right next to your head, neither of us was wearing ear protection and now we’re having a conversation at normal volume"? Talk about ignorant.
My point still stands. I've had 9mm from an m17 shot beside my head and had zero issues with my hearing afterwards.
Edit to reply to your ignorant use of the word ignorant:
I have personal and professional experience with many different things that shoot, so calling my response ignorant is just wrong. That's like people saying "I literally just died" when what they really meant was "I'm a little embarassed"
