I meant to post earlier about guns and how for a couple of seconds, maybe minutes, I actually felt like going to the gun range and trying one out. Basically just for the clicks.

I saw S.W.A.T. on Saturday, and during the movie I found myself paying attention to the gun noises... the clicks and clinks and other such sounds that you hear when the characters are handling their guns and preparing to use them. They were very satisfying sounds. I was captivated by them the same way I'm captivated by interesting and unique percussive sounds in music. I could imagine what it would be like to be a gunophile hearing those sounds... delicious sounds.... like scrambling eggs, popping popcorn, etc.

I don't think I'll actually make it out to the gun range, though. Gun sounds aren't a good enough reason to go. I could try to find some beats or sound clips containing those gun sounds instead.
