Hmmmm.  Now why didn't I think of that??  Makes a lot of sense.  I plan to use
a similar sound in a song I am writing, but I guess I'll have to find another
source as I don't have a rifle :)

Out of curiosity, would any of you know what was Kate's inspiration for that 
song? Was it a personal experience or just war in general?
