Hit the range just to do some shooting,

which I haven't done in a while, and had a nice demonstration of an effect of a supersonic projectile.

Guy had a .22 rifle with a suppressor, and was shooting at a 100 yard target using high-velocity ammo.  There are berms at 25, 50, and 75 yards, so he was shooting over them.  The can did a nice job of quieting the shot, so you could hear the 'crack-crack-crack' of the shock wave from the bullet being reflected off the berm.  First time I'd been able to hear that.
