Ok, I’ll bite. What kind of rifle bullet makes a whizzing sound as it goes past your ear? When I shot rifles in cadets, sitting down in the bunker at the far end of the range, the bullets made a loud BANG as they flew overhead. It’s terrifying. They’re travelling faster than the speed of sound. He’d have jumped out of his skin, not heard a whizzing sound and reached for his ear.
