[QUOTE=LefthandShooter;1051561]When you fire the Mosin there are two types of gass escaping. The kind from the end of the barrel, and the gas with the other stuff from the guy in the next range, followed by "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!!!!!!!". QUOTE]
i did get that from everyone else at the range, especially the poor guy in the next stall. He had an AR15 he was shooting and made a big production of seating his magazine when i sat down.
i think i saw him jump when i touched off the first round

he leaned over after a few seconds and said the fireball was visible a good 6 feet in front of the muzzle
