Although this video has nothing to do with the American Civil War, I thought it was very interesting and scary (weird combo right?)! It's the sound of shrapnel from exploding rounds. Also, the guns they are shooting are actually Finnish 130mm field guns.

I believe they had cannister rounds in the civil war but that would just be shooting a lot of little balls. I'd imagine that there would be the whistling sound as a shots fly past you.

Also it was kind of interesting... After the BANG the whistles sounded almost like birds singing in the woods on a nice calm morning... lol though the nice calm mornings wouldn't blow off your legs... these would.

All I know is that I would not like to be on the receiving end of both of these.

Very interesting, thanks for the share.

I love how they walk out there to see the damage and the lady is like "try not to step on the beans"
...but didn't you just fire cannister into the field? lol

Doesn't that happen to all of us? The beans are the most magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, so eat beans for every meal!

Shrapnel, Canister Shot, and the sound of bullets whizzing by your head will be the scariest sounds there is!
