We used to make gun sounds all the time back in the mid-'60s, so it isn't
a new idea.  We used to "play war" - do kids still do that?  Or do they
now "play driveby?"  We also played "cowboys and indians" back then.  I
don't know if we were better at gunfire sounds than at woodland creature
sounds, but we probably were.  I really liked birds and new what all of
them looked like, but I didn't memorize many of their calls or try to
imitate them.
