I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

I just fired a gun right next to your head, neither of us was wearing ear protection, and now we're having a conversation at normal volume and we can understand each other just fine.

Bonus points for grenades going off indoors, and nobody having a concussion after.

I fired an assault rifle in the army without hearing protection once just so try how loud it was. No need to try that one again. I knew it's going to be loud but not that loud.

I think there's a scene in The Other Guys where Will Ferrell and another guy temporarily get deafened by the loudness of gunshots. Might be thinking of a different movie but it was funny, like "Holy SHIT that was loud!" "Whaat?"

Hey, but it had a silencer on it, which is absolutely what it's called, and makes the shots super quiet so they won't be heard by people in the next room!

I was in a play once where we were going to fire a blank onstage, in a fairly small black box theatre. There were two options, a .22 and a .45 caliber blank. The .22 made a sharp CRACK that really shocked you. The .45 made a VWOOM sound that filled up the entire room and left you with the feeling of a wave of violent energy having just passed through your entire body.

We went with the .22.
