Gun Shots Loud Bang

[Zeema]

Well at 12.30 to 12:45 i was laying in bed and heard a MASSIVE BANG it was extremely loud i thought it was a gunshot or a explosion but for the past couple of weeks ive been hearing these gunshots every night my roommate hears it as well.

What should we do?
Should i call the police?
should i ask my neighbours if they heard anything?

Im in Australia so we don't have many guns and I live in a very nice part of town

 

[Defective_Detective]

Is it always between 12:30 and 12:45 in the morning?

If you are genuinely concerned, I would file a report with the local police. There's nothing to lose.

 

[Nunny]

Depends on the type of area you live in.

 

[Isaac The Grape]

Ask around. Talk to your neighbours. If there happens to be a public interest in discovering the source of the loud noise there will probably be a want for it to be stopped.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Consistent gunshots for 15 minutes? everyday? for about a week?

I would have guessed firecracker but then you said Australia..so maybe it's the Slenderman?

Seriously though, I dunno. You could call 000 if you are genuinely concerned.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

If you're going to own a gun in Australia you need to go target shooting or hunting regularly, otherwise your license is revoked. Maybe someone's got a new toy & wants to go spotlighting?

I wouldn't be so quick to call the police.

Actually yeah, if the OP lives near a farm area it could be a farmer shooting rabbits.

Skippy would be very unhappy about this!

Alternatively, it could be a new polciy whereby cane toads are now being shot by 12 gauges at point blank range

Nah waste of ammunition when a blunt object has the same effect.

ever hear a car backfire? we used to call a friends car the "james bond car" because it would randomly emit an extremely loud bang and shoot black smoke out of the tail pipe.

They aren't just limited to tourists.

My family got a house in the bush down by the seaside, near Wonthaggi. I remember going out for a walk real late one night, we had friends down.
Middle of a road, screeching just erupts from one side. Shit man, that's a horrible sound, we legged it the fuck out of there.

Bah cowards

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Still the police actually should have information about the gun-users around. So that they could be able to tell "hey calm down , mate. t'is just the hunter next door.Its Gazebo-season"

Blunt force is both more fun and cool

Think of all the one liners you can say with different sporting equipment!

Sorry man, that was the scariest shit ever. Did you see the episode of Crocodile Hunter Irwin did on them?

Shit was like the cow going to the raptors in Jurassic Park.

They are scarier when they are silent >

Yeah, but no-one who's met them silent has lived.

True i geuss.

Heh, I remember being woken up by some of my housemates one night who told me that there were explosions going off some distance away. Naturally, I got up went outside to take a look. Unfortunately none of my housemates had lived in the area very long and were less than impressed when I told them that the "explosions" were lifeboat flares going off at a nearby RNLI headquarters, so I laughed at them for a bit and went back to bed.

My point? Lots of stuff goes bang. Its not necessarily something bad or even dangerous. Of course, if you eliminate all the possibilities then yes, there could be a very time sensitive gunman in your area. In which case, stay indoors for that particular 15 mins?

Still the police actually should have information about the gun-users around. So that they could be able to tell "hey calm down , mate. t'is just the hunter next door.Its Gazebo-season"

You can hunt Gazebo's now? Wheres the challenge? XD

Shoot back?
