Ok, imagine this situation:
Runners are strolling down the street. It is fairly quiet and they are in a built up area. A gun shot rings out. How difficult would it be for them to work out the direction the shooter is in by listening? Note that it isn't necessarily them that is being shot at. I would imagine it would be rather difficult as the sound would echo around the hard surfaces of the surrounding buildings and street. I have a reasonable knowledge of how sound works and how you work out directionality (I work as an audio technician) but don't really know how it would work with a gun shot as I am not familiar with the sound. So, I would like to see some discussion on how this would work in real life and also how you would handle it with the SR rules. Ideas? -Strobe |
